The manual leaves out much detail. It leaves out the most basic details that many experienced mechanics need when working on an older car as this one is. The authors should be made to work on a datsun 280zx using this manual to see what a poor job they did. The pictures and line drawings are poor at best and very incomplete. The black and white pictures are poor and show very little detail. I doubt if this manual would teach a novice how to change the oil. I am extremely disappointed in the manual and am throwing my copy away. I strongly urge anyone interested in a repair manual to stay away from this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than Chilton, March 29, 2000

By	James "Yoshi" Johnson (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

The Haynes manual is a very good text when it comes to working on and maintaining your Z car. Since the book focuses strictly on the 280ZX, it is easier to use, thus providing more information than the Chilton manual (which covers 240Z-Z31).

Hi All,

This is the best manual that you can get to know all you need about your 280zx from 1979 to 1983.
