Before you sign up or download manuals - read this - important!

[AB]

The manuals on here are provided by the members and are free to download.

You need to make 1 post to get the manual.

We used to have the manuals available for anyone with no restrictions but the cost's involved were extremely high and for a free forum that doesn't make enough money to support itself we had to put a restriction on to reduce costs for this FREE service to you.

If you are after the manuals then simply put up an introduction about yourself in the introductions section (http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/forumdisplay.php?2-Introductions).

It should only take you 2 seconds.
We are a friendly community here willing to help our members and we hope that you stick around after you get the manuals and get involved with this great forum.

You might make some life long friendships and be a part of one of the most helpful communities in the world.

Enjoy!

[jman69]

I am a relatively new member of the forum, at first i was drawn to it by the free download of the manual. But after reading the conditions ie; min. 25 posts i thought bummer, but after thinking about it i decided to join. I am glad i did so, as i have already benefited from it by way of good advice from other members. And all the other posts make interesting reading and you can also gain a lot of info from them too. I have not reached 25 posts yet, but am working on it. Patrols rule!

[AB]

Good to hear mate, cheers for the positive feedback!

[growler2058]

im trying to download a nissan patrol 1998 repair manual any help would be appreciated

Read the first post mate. You need 25 posts before you can download the manuals. Firstly though post an intro something we ask all members to do cheers

Edit from Nissangq4.2: I have deleted your post LukeandTania, we don't need the same question in every manual thread.

Good to make people post a few times. I have been leeching off free websites for years and never thought to give much back to those who were helping me out by hosting the stuff. Now have joined and looking forward to helping out a few others

Cheers

Thanks. It's little to ask for such a good return. I am a self confessed member for life as I'll have a patrol for life. I'm hoping the rumours of the V6 being available soon are true. PJM

Hi Guys,
I have downloaded the manual and can open them all but i can't use the main page that you click and go through to the correct section - can anyone help with what i am doing wrong?
Sorry if i am doing something wrong - I have enough posts so it's not that, i don't think.

And thanks very much for these manuals.

Hey greg are you using a PC, Mac or iPad mate?

There is a couple of versions of the GQ manual, some are catalog used and some are not. Yes it is a pain in the backside using the uncatalogued one.

[Gregsway]

Thanks Muddrunner - i am on a PC - it's the full y61 with all supplements manual that i have downloaded. Cool i will see if i can find one that is cataloged - otherwise i will make do :)

Hey mate, yeah there might be the odd one or two manuals that are not linked indexed.

I actually did all that myself on most of the manuals to help users as It's a PITA to try and find each section manually.

If you let us know which manual it is I'll try and find time to index it properly.

I think this is a great Idea, I look forward to jumping into the conversations

AB , just read this thread (yeh late i know,lol) Interesting the manuals are supplied by members, (i have not downloaded them to see what they look like), but did these people/members make/design the manuals themselves ?, and assume they have given the forum permission to distribute the manuals online etc.

So, if thats the case, i just wonder why you can't just sell the manuals to those people that don't want to make 25 posts , this would help the forum more , rather than all the dribble from those people posting to get to 25, then we never see them again ?

[NissanGQ4.2]

AB , just read this thread.........................

No steve the manuals are not manuals that have been designed by members, 99.9% are manuals made by nissan that have been sourced off the net from various members and various places.

So he cannot sell the manuals

Yeah I know mate this is a growing concern and Ive thought about this a lot!

Legally (and morally) I am concerned about the money factor for copyright information but....I am thinking of developing a software where you can only download it once and do not get to know the exact URL of the manuals so people can't paste the link all over other websites which kills us. A possible code the user will have to enter in to gain access and that one off code is only given when asked in a thread or something like that.

I've been trying to find software that can possibly do this, if anyone knows of any software out there then please let me know as I am so sick of coding lately and there must be someone who has done something like this.

[NissanGQ4.2]

Legally (and morally) I am concerned about the money factor for copyright information

Don't know why, moving the manuals into a forum sponsors only section of the forum is not obtaining money for the manual.

If Nissan want to get you for copyright they will do so regardless if you're making money of it

[04OFF]

No steve the manuals are not manuals that have been designed by members, .

Legally (and morally) I am concerned about the money factor for copyright information but....


So how does that work, if you can't sell em, but you can still distribute them no problem ?, as Todd said, i doub't you would have to recieve "money" to breach copyright laws, when i used to show outdoor movies, even if i didn't charge a fee for people to see the movie, id still have to get written permisson and pay royalties to the copyright owners of the film.




Sorry don't know of any programs that will do what you need without a human having to do heaps of work all the time, im sure Todd said he still had some free time each week :fish: (ha-ha)

[NissanGQ4.2]

So how does that work, if you can't sell em, but you can still distribute them no problem ?,

The forum is not legally meant to distribute them, hence why I don't see a problem moving them 2 a forum sponsors area only.

Sorry Steve gotta go do some work 2 the Patrol, should be back on here in a few years time, willing 2 put my hand up than if it still needs doing

Its like music or video copywright i suppose. A musician can sample anothers track and/or do a cover of anothers song and even record and distribute it BUT they cant charge for it. It must be free

I know there has been a few changes to copyright laws not that long ago, but are you sure thats actual law, or just something people get away with on a regular basis ?

Join in some conversations, ask a few questions and have a chat with our friendly members and you'll have 25 posts in no time and be able to download the manuals. In that time you may find an even bigger wealth of knowledge in all threads new and old. There is also a volounteered sponsorship that you can pay to help support this awesome place if you like:)

Nah nothing changed mate, if you do become a sponsor though you get automatic access as standard....Same category as 25 posters.

A couple of ways you can do it, we have a small yearly subscription, sub $20 I think, which gives you full Access straight away, or just introduce 23 New members.

[rookiepatroller]

I need the manuals bcos my turbo kicked the bucket but I just can't stop reading all the other threads, this forum is amazing, so much information. 25 posts is fair enough I reckon

Hope you hang around afterwards mate.

Why not post up a question about what happened with the turbo.

You might get a personalised response directly to your question and extra advice you never thought of from fellow members.

[rookiepatroller]

I'd be shooting myself in the foot not to hang about afterwards, the manuals are helpful, but theres so much info being discussed thats way more valuable than just the manuals. FYI the turbo over spooled and snapped the impeller shaft, sucked a gut full of oil into the exhaust. The intake is in bits in the old mans shed, getting the nads kit done as we speak, new after market billet turbo, pressure testing the intercooler to make sure that didn't get taken out too. Took the intake manifold off to check for gunk but it looked unusually clean. I'm going to put up a new thread and see what genius ideas/pointers people have. Cheers fellas.

It should only take you 10 minutes to do rack up 25 posts. Please do not post rubbish all over the forum otherwise you will be banned. Unfortunately we have to do this to keep the forum going otherwise it would have to shut down so we hope you understand.

We are a friendly community here willing to help our members and we hope that you stick around after you get the manuals and get involved with this great forum.

I prefer to read and learn myself so don't comment bugger all, but just thought the time to wait might be a good idea. [emoji106]

No AB i think his point is that he might be here for 4 months and have only 10 posts and would qualify as he has been here long enough and has not posted rubbish just for the manuals and gained info from the members as a quiet reader rather than poster. It has merit.

Original post was 25 posts AND 3 months but I agree Mr AB Sir your Emminence, suck grovel crawl... 25 posts OR 3 months (or 1 month or whatever) does have merit.

[Skitzyrex]

Yep that's a good idea. I can create something for that. Good idea.

For sure, 1 month would at least stop people posting 25 welcome posts in a day then downloading.

[AB]

Hi folks,

This has been a long time coming! I'm sure we are all sick of seeing 25 posts of crap on the forum and to be honest, we don't need that rule anymore.

I have removed that rule but I don't want non members taking the manuals as that opens up a can of worms for data so moving forward it is only 1 post and then you can download the manuals.

I hope this makes everyone's time here more pleasant as it honestly frustrated the hell out of me waking up to see spammy posts.

Enjoy!

[AB]

Also Mods, I have just changed the start of this main thread to reflect the above and will go through other threads to change our discussions on the 25 posts so feel free to change to suit.

I'm sure it is plastered everywhere on the forum!

Magician, its because when you joined you should of received a confirmation link via email which you would of had 2 of clicked on a link to verify yourself. Which has not been done.... and only verified members can download the manuals after the 25 ( Now 1 ) post rule.

AB could you sort this out please

A couple of dudes have mentioned they can't download them of the "manuals" link and I just checked and I couldn't either.
There is no 'hot spot'or 'active button' on the Manuals page to go to the Forum manuals and Software Boards...or... activate a download only piccy's and description of the Manuls/Refernce Documents

Them dudes, I don't think had confirmed the email addy when they signed up, I know 100% at least one hadn't as I had checked it out myself.

I don't think anyone could ever download from the red bar manuals tab only from the threads themselves

And I'm always asleep on the job :)

[mudnut]

From the link on the download, I think.

And I'm always asleep on the job :)

Yeah, that makes sense, hard to afford the No Doze on the money AB pays.

I think the confusion is that to actually download the Manuals and Ref Doc on display one needs to go to the Forum Manuals Board.
The link across from the "Manuals" page back to the Forum "Manuals and Software" Boards isn't all that obvious in the text down the bottom.

Anyway, no biggee, they get there in the end
