Ok let's start with the simulator.
Let's see how to describe it briefly.

Are any of You familiar with video games such as rFactor GTR or GTL ?
Here is a sample of one of them:

Anyway, they fascinated me more than 10 years ago. They ware good, but somehow their possibility ware not enough for me.
So I started to work on my own development, its my hobby now.

Im working on this after hours ...
... Im also collecting interesting vehicles data (very different - some of them were only prototypes)

At the moment I have a real-time simulation:

It means user has to be racing with real time - if You play at 17 there is 17 in game, and if at 22 is 22 and dark.
Wind is changes rain may occur or thunderstorm.

I need some about 5500 to 6000 parameters to define 1 car correctly.
They all are calculated in real time, all the time, results are very surprising.
It's very difficult if they have to be truthful. U know to get reall data, but its worth, because later, U feel differences on steering wheel.
U can literally feel like a proper characterization of the car is forming...
it's almost like the birth of a child, well, maybe I'm exaggerating a little
I think that you know what I mean

and finally ...
... thats the way like it looks in action, more or less :

I was also able to connect it with Motec applications. To verify data accuracy. Here is some sample:


and some other samples:
etc etc ...

and as for the books ...
I am new to eBay, and it seems that they actually are there.
But when I go through my Polish account, unfortunately, I can not bidding.
Not to mention how weak Polish currency, imagine that your money is more than 4.2 x less worthy. It's killing me.

damusto... I have the above book, it will not help you as far as original specifications. It MAY help if you intend to program in parts that modify the car (with few specifications). In essence these books are catalogs of performance parts

Thanks Mate - its good to know.
Is this list (as I assume) contains any specifications or just names and numbers of the prices stuff ?

Mostly it's just names and prices - very rarely there's a bit of specifications (and then it's 99.9% japanese).

[damusto]

Thanks, I'm guessing that remaining 0.1% are numbers right ?
I see that will be hard to finish.

Does anybody have this one :

That is an aftermarket repair manual. A lot of its information either comes from the factory repair manual, OR from the actual experience of dismantling, rebuilding*... there are torque(tightening) values, but few specifications

Haynes Publishing like to say, "Written from hands-on experience based on a vehicle teardown using commonly available tools"

[Skyracer]

I bought this one. 200 pages, a lot of interesting pictures (since I dont read japanese).

I have that Haynes manual... don't recall it containing much useful information though.

I have some books you are looking for:


the 2 "MASTER BOOK" have few pages of specs.
The G-Works (the one showed by Skyracer and on top of my stack) do have few pages too.
