Further to my poll on who has an owner's manual, I am wondering how many owners have maintenanace manuals for their 4th Generation Maximas.

I have a Haynes manual and feel at a minimum all owners should have either a Haynes or a Chilton's manual and should become conversant with it.

Similar to perusing the FAQs and stickies, familiarity with these publications would help to eliminate a lot of the repost and new queries.

 

Is this supposed to be a poll, because right now it's not.

 

Haynes But who cares ... It's obvious who does and who doesn't by the ?'s posted.

 

I suspect we would get similar ?'s from some people who had a manual, but were too lazy to read it.

I'm just trying to get a sense of the %s.

 

I don't have a manual. I have an automatic.

 

I have the haynes, there is also Nissan's service repair manual on the internet in pdf format if your lucky to know the url or just google search it.

 

Haynes, got it at AutoZone when I got the materials to do my first oil change.

I had a Chilton for my last car and found it to be a bit vague as it covered several models. Although the Haynes does include the late 3rd gen I have found it very helpful in every instance.

Is there anywhere else to download the FSM? I had trouble opening the file from the G20 site.

 

I have the Haynes and also FSMs for all 4th and 5th gens, among other cars.

 

haynes....................

 

haynes and chilton. good to cross refrence stuff. happy with both.

 

Jime's home page has them : Woops - but you gotta go find find them......

 

Careful graymax you can get banned for posting them... copyright laws.

 

Bobo's poll happy today. I have a manual, but I couldn't tell you what's in it though, it came with the car. I'm a complete when it comes to doing my own repair work. I have a friend who's a Nissan Master Tech, he treats me good.

 

You better treat your friend good too!

 

haynes and fsm

 

i think it would be best to treat my friends well thanthreaten them... especially if that friend was my mechanic.

 

Yes! I was thinking the same thing, lol. I'm thinking, why would "threat" a friend who works on my car for next to nothing for? Good catch! Funny. ^^^^^^

 

Fixed my typo, my bad! You guys know what I meant, lol!

 

seriously. can we have a poll on who responds to polls?

 

Did you vote? No post whoring allowed!

 

Dubbya

^^ FTW

 

Huh! No post whoring allowed.

 

I choose not to vote. FTW Im a rebel.

 

You must be really really really bored...

 

Whats a maintenance manual?

 

i got the fsm on cd for my 97 & 94 max's. bought them on ebay few years back for $5.50 each (i think).

being on the computer, the pages never get ripped or smudged with grease. but you outta see my keyboard and mouse.

 

nope i just use the org

 

Got the FSM and the sh!tty chiltons...

Dont know why any one would have BOTH chiltons and haynes since they are just about the same thing (chiltons is made by haynes).

 

the guy who i bought my maxima from left the Haynes manual in the trunk. i'm assuming he did it on purpose lol. works for me.

 

I have a pdf file of the factory service manual, and a Haynes Manual.

 

and lonely.........

 

Understandably so!

 

pdf FSM for each year 1993-2004, and autozone.com. I got some crappy ebay fsm, all text, don't buy that.

I also have Mitchell DVDs all makes/models 1983-2004. That thing's crazy huge. More info, diagnostic, and diagrams then I'll ever need.

I have the fsm... Its big, got lots of stuff in it, but is it really worth $150??? I'll find out in time I am sure...
