heh, u guys think its worth it to shell out 50 bux on a maxima service manual from ebay? or should i drop 20 ore less bux on a haynes.

im somehwat mechanically inclined, but i know the service manual is tons better than the haynes.

anybody have one they'd like to sell me?

 

See if you can find one in the junk yard. I was looking for other parts and found some in almost every car I looked in. I'm sure they would be pretty cheap.

 

no, not the operating manual.

the factory service manual. just wanna know from ppl who have it whether it is a good investment or not.

thx

 

i have the haynes as well wondering if the FSM is that helpful?

 

the FSM is about 5 times thicker than the Haynes.. (I have both..) the FSM is so much more involved and has EVERYTHING you could ever need. The Haynes manual is like Maximas for Dummies compared to the FSM! LoL No, I'm not selling it..

You can download one for free from http://phatg20.net/index.php Just download it and burn it on disc like I did.

 

Here the actual link. I cant seem to find it through that link

I have FSM hardcopy book (2 inches thick), PDF digital format with clickable links, and Snap-On Shopkey. Plus, there's Autozone.com's DelCo repair manual.

Anyways, I love my FSM hardcopy cuz it's quick reference. If I'm doing research, I go w/the PDF (also good to print and take outside so I don't dirty my hardcopy book). Autozone is good for no-brainer step-by-step. Finally, Shopkey is good for looking up info on other cars, but their tq references is harder to use.

Get the hardcopy from ebay, $50 is reasonable. I paid $20+$5 ship 3 years ago for almost-new.

Awsome thanks for the link!

 

yeah, the FSM on phatg20 is incredible. Pages and pages of PDF info. There's more stuff in there than you'd ever care to know. Download WinRAR for free to unzip the file (if you don't already have something that will do it)

 

I have a hard copy cause I'm old school but also have the electronic copy. Definitely a must have if you're serious about repairing your car.

 

thanx guys. u peeps the best.

 

Holy Crap I am Soooo Printing this OUT...thanks guys your the BEST!

 

Guys, thank you so much. this is 1000% better than the Haynes I was about to purchase.

 

Hey, anybody know where I can download, the old link is dead.
