with the hynes you have to know pretty mcuh what you are doing. it just kinda helps you remember certian steps. it is more for the more advanced( not perfessional terms) just people hwo know what they are doing for the most part.

i would just bite the bullet and get the nissan service manual. sometimes you can find them online, and on ebay.

The FSM isn't all that great either. It doesn't have lots of stuff. It's mostly technical stuff to tell you how to diagnose a problem and not always how to fix it. I was trying to find how to take apart the intake manifolds but I couldn't find anything.

Bought the Chiltons recently($16.99). Good but basic, not into troubleshooting. Good pictures to locate the PCV. Poor info/no diagrams on the O2 sensors. Depends on what you're looking to do.
