I think it is well worth the extra money to buy the factory Nissan manual. This book is fine for reference, but not as the only source of information for your Nissan. I tried to install a car stereo in my 1991 240SX and this manual didn't have the wiring diagrams to do that simple task. I also changed the accessory belts and the manual didn't have the tension specifications. Luckily my local Nissan dealer provided me with those specs. I have a Factory Nissan manual for my 1995 Pathfinder and it is considerably better. It has better pictures, more detailed text, and all the wiring diagrams. Bottom Line...Buy the factory manual (I know it costs more, but you get what you pay for!) and use this one as a way to start a fire in your fireplace.

We bought this book because we wanted a teardown manual. This book does not have the specs needed to repair a fuel injector and other things. Very disappointed. Wish Haynes had a teardown book for my 1992 Nissan Stanza, but they don't. We will now have to buy the service manual from the Nissan dealer, which they say is $75. Might as well forego this book and buy from the dealer and save your money.

This is a great reference book for anyone that is interest in this fine reliable sports car. It contains valuable engineering details in plain English. Everyone from the work commuter to the 240sx enthused like me will fine something is the manual that well justifies the expense. Enjoy the ride forever with this repair manual.

Too many models covered and not enough details for each car/procedure. Instructions for very specific procedures often have no pictures. If I knew what they were refering to, I might be able to follow the instructions. This book assumes a level of knowledge that would negate the need for this book. I found it a waste of money.

Chilton's Manual has a lot of good basic maintenance info. However, the Hayne's manual would probably be a better choice. (generally includes more helpful pictorial info and step-by-step directions for the not-so-accomplished home mechanic -- or if the vehicle is pretty new to you)

Unfortunately, I was looking for information on a Stanza Wagon, and beyond that, a 4WD wagon. The Haynes "Stanza" manual does not include info on either of those models, while Chilton's does. (At least to a limited extent; for instance, I have yet to successfully check and/or add transmission or transfer case fluid -- the Chilton's manual contradicts itself in several different chapters, and even the dealer wasn't sure...)

And, as usual, Chilton's combines info on many different models in each section, so you have to be VERY careful that you're reading about your exact model or engine before proceeding.

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...

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.

Este libro abarca varios modelos de nissan-stanza el problema es que para el modelo 1992, trae poca información, es decir trae mas para los anteriores, este hecho indica que se debe tratar de deducir el equivalente de los años anteriores con respecto al posterior que se está buscando, hablando de partes mecánicas.

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.

i need help i have nissan 200sx turbo but i dont have manual i want to look that book and buy it if it like me this book is important
