Summary: Chilton Manuals
When you are desperate and do not have (or cannot afford) a factory manual, you take what you can get. Typically Chilton has adequate wiring diagrams and vaccume diagrams although I have found omissions that will keep you troubleshooting for weeks like an inline fuse. You will not find the detail of a factory manual such as the resistance operating ranges of sensors, computer logic, or a detailed assembly view of a transmission. They have nice sections for aspiring shade tree mechanics such as a body repair, and some basic theory of operation. You cannot expect explicit detail from a manual less than three inches thick which covers a complete historical line of any model of automobile.
Summary: Too many cars not enough book.
Chiltons just tried to fit to much into one book. If your going to get a book get one that just covers the Z that you have. There is little to no detail in the interior/exterior part of the book. I was disappointed with this book in comparison to other chiltons books
Summary: Poor Organization
I regret the purchase of this poorly organized manual in which there is an attempt to encompass to many vehicle types in one manual. the information has too many gaps for even experienced mechanics. if you have ever flipped through a Clymer manual published by intertec you will understand truly sensible organization of a technical manual. i only wish one was available for the Z's. don't waste your money on this book.

Summary: The ideal guide to modifying Datsun/Nissan engines.
I have a few books by this author Tom Monroe.His books are very thorough.His books are written in simple terms and easy to understand.If you are looking for a book to modify your Datsun/Nissan engines then this book is the ideal book.I also recommend his other book on rebuilding Datsun/Nissan engines.These 2 books should go together.
Summary: Great book - just doesn't cover Z24 as much as L-series
I liked this book simply because it's gonna answer many questions and give much help to anyone with a 70's or '80's z-car or truck. I have a 720 pickup with the Z24 motor. It is in the list, however it is not touched upon as much as the L-series inline 6 and 4 cylinders.
Summary: Excellent for your street aplications.
This book is great for the serious do-it-yourselfer. If you know how rebuild your engine, you'll have no problems. It gives recommendations from the experts and simplifies it for you, and eliminates the hassle and expense of experimenting. Get it, it's an excellent reference if you're already in the business.

Summary: A good guide to rebuilding Datsun/Nissan engines.
If you own any Datsun/Nissan with any L-series engine and you need to know if it needs a rebuild then this book will tell you what you need to know.Find out what's wrong first before you decide what to do.This book is a great guide to these engines.For those who like working on cars this book will help you along the way.Good value.
Summary: Great But Limited to Older Engines
This excellent book does NOT cover all Nissan overhead cam engines, only the now-ancient L types. Since the title addresses overhead cam engines and the current edition is 1998, I had hoped my 1989 GA16i overhead cam engine would be covered. It isn't. So, if you have a newer Nissan engine, buy this book anyway for the great advice and techniques but also get a separate shop manual for your engine. And I hope the author will update this book soon to cover the newer engines.
Summary: Excellent Photos and Info, required for any L-series owner
This book was of great assistance to me during the rebuild of my Datsun 240Z. The information was instrumental and helpful all along the way. Compared to the Haynes and Chilton manuals, this book presented pictures and words which matched and cohered to what I was doing on the motor at the time. Also the amount of illustrations and clarity were excellent, as a picture is worth a thousand words. Aside from the Nissan shop manual which you can't get your hands on I feel this is the best publication to have at your side during any Nissan rebuild.

Bring back the Z-car!

Summary: A very useful book, but you can't use it by itself
This book is great, it takes you through almost all of the steps that you need to completely restore your car, but on a lot of things it merely mentions them and doesn't really tell you a lot about what your supposed to do. What I did was I bought this book and a haynes automotive repair manual(or Chilton's) and I used that for the more technical stuff. This book has 20-30 pages of exploded views of various areas on the cars and also has a list of retailers that sell parts and/or services for the z series. If your trying to restore your car get this book.
Summary: 80% of what you need to restore your Z
"~I would largely reiterate what the other reviewers have said: this book is the single most comprehensive reference for a partial or ground-up rebuild of your Z. I would have only a couple of negative things to say about it:"~ you are told to adjust the flange angle on the Johnson Rod strut, it can leave you scratching your head...
Summary: Your Z-car will love you for it!
I saw this book long before I bought it, and after buying it, I was very sorry I took so long to get it! It covers most every aspect of the full restoration of this beloved car. From the frame-up or a little at a time. This book has the info you need, and more. The info inside can not be purchased, borrowed, or stolen for a better price! Alone, this book is not enough, but it's a great way to get the spark ignited. (No single book could possibly have everything, I know, I have bought almost all of 'em.)

Summary: Needs some work
Using this manual, I have r&r'd clutch, axles, timing chain, valvetrain, door hinges, oil pan gasket, chain tensioner, oil sending unit, water pump and many other maintenance repairs. Although the manual was useful, it was very clumsy to get around. You cannot reference a single repair without skipping around to 3 or more different chapters. Necessary details were often omitted, and special tools which are required to do the job are not listed. All though the manual was of assistance, I much preferred the Nissan Mfg. service manual.

Summary: Great 1st Genation Z history
A must have for any Datsun 240z, 260Z, 280Z enthusiast. Great photos (many in color), and the in depth history is excellent. It includes a wide range of historic info including early history from predecessor cars, racing history, special modifications such as the Samari, differences of the various model years, and much more. If you are interested in the 1st generation Z cars, you will love this book. It is very well written, very readable, well organized, and very professionally done. I highly recommend it.
Summary: Great stories about a Great Car!
This little book was devoured in a couple of hours - couldn't put it down! It was chock full of interesting facts about the Z - some we'd all seen before but a bunch of new stuff as well. Great stories about the Z's competitive history (with very good photos). Tracing the car's design evolution from concept to 240Z thru the 280ZX was well documented and illustrated. Well written and easy to read without much technical jargon to bog you down. Z owners need to get this book - it'll make you proud of your car!
