Isn't that what most dealers and most mechanics have.

I love my 1997 FSM. There's stuff in there that you can't find anywhere else, such as ECU pin-outs, and how to take apart body panels.

How much did you pay for it? Would you pay over $50 for one of these for you Maxima?

To my knowledge it's got everything the paper manual has; it's exactly the same just in PDF format.

If your going to be doing you own mechanical work the FSM (Factory Service Manual) is a must have. They generally run $90+. I gernerally use it as a companion the the Chiltons and/or Haynes manuals. The Chiltons/Haynes give a good description for beginners and the FSM has all the details that the Chiltons/Haynes manuals lack.

I would even recomend them if you don't plan on making your own repairs so you know what is involved in a repair so you aren't fed a line of BS.

The '98 manual I posted will apply 99% to a '95 Maxima. Only a few things (mainly emissions and interior electronics, I think) are different. If you're looking for mechanical/engine stuff, it will be fine.

Here's a link to an article detailing the differences in the FSM/Haynes/Chiltons manuals.

Nissan FSM is the best. If you don't like the Nissan one, you will have a field day with a Haynes/Cliltons
