I've found on Ebay and other sites CD Service Manual's for all years. Some of the CD's are for just one specific year (ex. 1997) and others have multiple years (ex. 1995-1999). Has anyone looked at or own one of these CD's? They're suppose to be the official Nissan Service Manual that auto repair shops use. If you have one of these CD's I'm also curious to know if it shows how to remove exterior body parts not just how to fix the mechanical and electrical components of the car.

Thanks for helping a new guy out!

 

From what I've heard those CDs are no better than a Hayne's Manual (which sux). Don't waste your $$$$$$$.

 

i have an ebay fsm, and a real fsm from nissan. and soon, i'll have a book ver too. u wanna see the electronic ver? they're both on my website.

The CD you are talking about is probably the FAST CD which isn't a DIY kind of book at all, just part numbers.

 

You can search on e-mule if you want! i.ve found all the fsm from 1994 to 2004 in one bundle with this program

 

oh yeah, i have FAST thru 2001 on my website too.

the cd sucks. dont buy it. get a real fsm, i have haynes, cd, fsm and cd is the worst one of those.

 

if you get a real nissan cd, like the one on my site, it's actually handy sometimes. You can just print out pages that you need, and take them to the garage, so you don't soil your book fsm.

but there's a lotta immitators out there, so make sure you get a real nissan one.

I just bought one from eBay seller "9thwondra" and it's great (and a real Nissan service manual). You not only get the service manual, but the A32 owner's manual, the wiring diagrams (which make no sense to me, though I like knowing I have them), plus a bunch of misc documents regarding maintenance and install guides. Just make sure you've got Adobe to view it. The shipping rates are insane ($13 for one stupid disc), but it balances out because the product only cost me $2. If it's from "9thwondra" go for it.

EDIT: And yes, newbie, one of the sections is titled "Body & Trim."

 

yea i just bought the factory service manual im waiting for it still do u guys think it will be any good?
