Chiltons Equivalent?

hey guys.


Chiltons has manuals for my previous car (prelude). Service and repair manuals which Honda shop techs could use to do anything to the car. From oil changes to engine breakdown to capacities to windshield removal. I think it was about 500 pages

Is there a similar book for the 01 Maxima?

I have a Haynes Manual and it covers pretty much everything, found a new one on amazon for around $12.

What's the cost and where do you get that thing? I have the haynes, but it's often lacking in detail.

The nissan FSM is one of the most detailed fsm i've seen. You can get them off ebay. or if someone is nice on here they can set up a ftp for ya. i dont have that capability, but i am sure someone does.

I have Hayne's and that is one horrible book. They did most of the work on a 4th gen, so, as it was stated, a lot of 5th gen details get left out

It covers everything you don't need to know. If you want to cover everything, you need the Nissan factory service manual. It contains all of the details. It's impossible to put a 3 volume set of manuals (2002) into 1 single book and cover all areas thoroughly.
