Guest thinkmonkey Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Where can I get the datsun factory service manual, you know the one with the grammatical errors and all of the torque specs and such? What's better, How to modify Datsun engines & chassis, 510, 610, 240Z or How to hot rod your datsun? Thanks -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thinkmonkey Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Is there any longer a place to buy the book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagz Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I've only seen the original shop manuals available on eBay once and they didn't go cheap. I bought the manual on CD and I'm glad I did. All of the chapters are in their own .pdf files and you can print-off pages or entire chapters to take out to the garage. You can get the pages greasy, tear them, write notes on them and throw em away when you're done. When you need them again, print another copy.

Georgia Flash Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Ebay baby! I have bought a book for my old project 1975 280 and I sold the one I had for my long gone 1980 280ZX. By the way I had the disk from COurtesy on the 80 ZX and I prefered the actual book better. Go to ebay and try looking for one. Maybe you will get lucky.

240Z_Master Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Anyone have the 1970 or 1971 Factory Service Manuals? I really just want to know the torque specs on the suspension stuff. Engine doesn't really concern me. PDFs? Email them to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 71ZZZZZ Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Anyone have the 1970 or 1971 Factory Service Manuals? I really just want to know the torque specs on the suspension stuff. Engine doesn't really concern me. PDFs? Email them to me? Hey man, I can send you pdfs of scans from the front/rear torque specs but it'll be later today(evening)...don't have access to my stuff right now... BTW, what was the color code on your yellow Z? I'm thinking of re-doing my '71 in the "safety yellow" that was available later that year...is your front air dam f'glass or urethane?

240Z_Master Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I actually just bought the Haynes manual online for like 13 bucks shipped off of Amazon. So I'll just wait it out until then. No need to scan and email them. Thanks for that. Paint Code is 919. The color was only available up to 8/71 I think. I am in love with this yellow and it looks really nice. My front air dam is Urethane. I can get wholesale on Xenon products [the company that makes my air dam]. Or you could just get it from MSA for more. Contact me if you have any other questions.
