would this work out? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

well i can't find a FSM for my 89 240sx under $60, but i have seen some 90 ones, wouldnt that work just as well, since it does have the same engine, body, and all? and which one's should i look into, and stay away from?
thanks

E-BAY!

yeah 90 should be a-ok i think

yo, there's only ONE type of FSM

Factory Service Manual

that's it! nothing else!

avoid that crap you see at auto shops..like Chiltons

go search ebay for 240sx FSM and you'll see. its big its fat, its car and year(s) specific.

best way you can spend money. its a definate requirement for any car owner. BUY IT TODAY

arent fsm's a little too technical for the average backyard mechanic? wouldnt it help to use a haynes or chiltons in conjunction with a fsm?

i have chiltons and the fsm and the factory manual is more confusing. although, Chiltons is kinda Vague on some things - which sucks.

for my truck i had a haynes, a chilton, AND a two volume FSM. the four books together worked beautifully.

fsm is not confusing at all, just look at the pictures ^^
