Avg Cusomer Rating: 2 Reviews: Summary: Good information poorly printed The information in the book is difficult to read because of the poor printing and cheap paper. Data tables are almost unreadable and the B&W pictures are fuzzy. The Haynes publication has all the same information pinted clearly with good pictures. Summary: Useless book for me I bought this book and promptly returned it after it did nothing to help me troubleshoot 2 different electrical problems. It provides partial wiring diagrams but does not give the specs on the various sending units so you can hook up a multitester and see whether or not they work. I was having trouble removing the instrument panel and the diagram did not even match my pickup -- it was for a much older model. If you want to know how to check your oil or belt tension, this book is for you. If you want to do any complicated repairs, look elsewhere. Summary: This book is aweful This book is more or less useless. Several times while trying to accomplish repairs I've found this book to have serious ommissions. It's good as a basic reference if you can't find the owners manual but it lacks as a repair manual. I expected more from Chilton. Summary: |

Avg Cusomer Rating: 2 Reviews: Summary: sometimes awful, sometimes barely adequate Makes excellent firewood, even for the Sentra model, which it covers more than it covers other Nissan models. It is sometimes wrong, sometimes woefully inadequate, and once in a rare while sufficient. Summary: Borderline Trash The information in this book ranges from barely adequate (occasionally) to to totally inadequate/incomplete (often) to outright wrong! (By wrong, I mean such things as the gear oil capacities for my car and at least one other model I know of are totally incorrect - a pretty important number when there's no filler plug! - and several steps in some repair instructions are totally inappropriate.) Other faults are a general lack of pictures and glossary. It is obvious that the instructions were compiled without actually performing the jobs themselves. As a result, they tend to just rehash obvious points and leave the details that the reader really wants to know to be discovered by trial & error. The only good thing I can say about it is that it seems to provide all the torque settings you need. My advice: photocopy it from the library as a curiosity reference, but don't expect to rely on it. Definitely don't pay Chilton money for this! Summary: Worthless: This book, as are many of Chilton's multi-year books, too general to be of use for any particular year's model. I was especially disappointed in the lack of detailed wiring information. Summary: |

Avg Cusomer Rating: 3 Reviews: 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.

Avg Cusomer Rating: 4 Reviews: Summary: Great tool for anyone This guide offers great detail of just anything you'd want to do. I own a 240sx and some things were missed in the book it is otherwise a great tool that I check before anything I do. Summary: Very poor book. I bought this book as a cheap alternative to the factory service manual. I tried to find a Haynes manual, but they don't seem to have one for a 240SX. This manual is pretty useless. It tries to cover too many models and too many years, and just ends up leaving out most of the information that you will need. The only wiring diagrams are for the lights and ignition system. I am trying to install a stereo and fix my power door locks, but there are no diagrams... Summary: don't do it! Hold out for the offical Nissan Service Manual. I bought this for my 1990 240SX, but this book is worthless. It trys to cover to many different models (Stanza, 200SX, 240SX) and years (10!) that it does not give any specific detail to any particular vehicle. It really is not worth your time. Summary: |

Avg Cusomer Rating: 5 Reviews: Summary: No Haynes. Chiltons is Much Better I am a mechanic and and auto enthusiast. I find Chilton's manuals extremely helpful and much more in depth than any other service tool on the market, especially Haynes. Chiltons provides full schematics, computer servicing instructions and teaches me things that I didn't even know. I would personally recommend their series of books to anyone interested in servicing their own cars. They are the best presents too. Help the people you care about take pride in their cars. Summary: Everyone of these books is missing pages 1-50,51,52,53? Hanes Manuals have done well for every auto I have owned, till the neighborhood parts store switched to Chiltons. I paid the price for something wrapped in plastic, only to find the book incomplete and the section on wheel bearings, although indexed, is missing not only from my book, but also several others the parts store checked. I am disappointed, and next time will take the extra effort to either rip open the cover or better yet, continue to look for a quality tech manual. Summary: |
