I purchased this book to try to learn more about my 1987 Nissan Pulsar NX SE so as to perform some of the maintenance tasks myself. This book covers almost NOTHING that pertains to my vehicle. The book trys to cover to wide a range of year vehicles and in the process gives very little information about each making it time consuming and pain staking to find what information you can get. A MUCH more specific (ie:model & year specific) manual would be very helpful.

The book has good general basics, but is lacking in some of the detail areas. I was hoping to debug an electrical problem with the right front headlight. The book had a very detailed drawing of how the speakers were hooked up, but no Chasis layout diagram, and nothing at all about any of the lights front or back. The book could have been more useful if it had been more complete.

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.

I was looking to purchase a manual for servicing a 1993 NX 2000. There is so little information in this book on the 93 NX, specifically the 2 litre, I don't know how they can claim that the book covers the vehicle. No one else apparently makes a book for this car, and I bought this book in hopes of having some sort of reference. I guess I'll have to buy the Mfg.s manual. The Sentra data appears to be as good as the Haynes, for what thats worth( not a big fan of Haynes manuals). The instructions are sometimes less detailed, but some of the pictures are better. This is a decent Sentra book, but do not buy it for a '93 NX

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.

The book offer lot of information with great graphics . I am still looking for one more little but important detail , may be the editor or some one can help . The timing marks on the crankshaft pulley did not indicate which mark is the TDC for the GA16DE 1991 model . This is very important for the engine tuning .
