samsniss350z Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 HI, i wonder if anyone can help me (save money), i owned a couple of 200sx's and bought a Haynes manual only to find that it covered the LHD 200 and also the 4 door Sentra. The manual itself was pretty much a waste of money as it covered very little of the 200SX. I'm thinking of buying a Haynes manual that covers the 350Z but it also covers the G35 INfiniti 4 door. I fear that i'm going to be wasting my money as with the 200SX manual. Can anyone offer any insight as to what i could be getting myself into. Thanks in advance, samsniss350z.

BulletMagnet Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Anything you would ever need to know is right here on the forums. I doubt even 1% of the members have a Haynes manual. Check over at guides section for anything you want doing, or do a search if it's not in guides. When either prove fruitless, you can always ask.

There is ALOT of guides in the haynes not on here. Also gives you a good idea on the engine in general. If your going to be doing things like oil change etc you will be fine but things more advanced then that the haynes is nice. Its the american haynes which isnt as nice as the usual British ones but its still good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I think the workshop manual is a much better option and is fairly easy to find for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Chris YOU ARE the Haynes Manual, bumper size edition. (Because you go one step beyond normal mechanics) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 In answer to your question, IMO the answer is yes. American yes, LHD yes, however it is still very informative. The online workshop manual is also definately worth having. Remember these manuals are predominantly for reference. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsniss350z Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Hey guys thanks for your thoughts and opinions, i think between the forum, a Haynes manual and online workshop manual i reckon it should cover all of the knowledge i'm likely to need in looking after my Zed. For the price of renewing a couple broken drill bits i reckon i could do a lot worse so its going on my Christmas list. I'm liking the look of the new website, the layout is a lot less 'busy' than the previous one, plus the old site kept locking up on me after about twenty to thirty minutes.

ianphampton Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 You can normally buy a CD manual for a few quid on fleabay - Haynes manuals are normally over £20 but I got a CD for about £2.99 and it's very useful as a reference guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I dont get on with service manuals TBH as they dont actually show you get to what your doing. The haynes is good like that plus I used it alot and it was £15. I've made my money back from it plus its a good read when bored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
