I second what Matti said! Providing us with those manuals is a huge help to anyone trying to save these awesome vehicles.

I just wish I had enough insight into the "obsolete Datsun parts" industry to figure out how to purchase all the obsolete Datsun truck inventory. Some of these guys on Ebay are nuts asking 1000 times the value of the parts. Anyone know someone who works in parts at a Nissan dealership who could shed some light?

Hi All,

l personly must say ''Thanks'' for the comments on this forum about the real datsun books. Question fablab, Where do you come from? l noticed you haven't put down on your profile where you live in this worldly planet. To all you swap meet persons in Oz, don't forget the super southern swap at ballarat airport in the gardern state (victoria) is on at the end of this month (23, 24 & 25 Feb). l'LL be there buying datto parts & books, Plus selling parts as well, on site number 1121. Total of 2700 sites at this swap meet & it takes three days to see it all? Ken, matti, pac.south coast & fablab thanks guys & safe cruzin in your datto's guys. Bruns :D

P.S l will get around one day taking photos of the alternater system on my datto ute using the original wire harness. l hope......?

I just downloaded this, and from personal experience, I know how much TIME went into translating all of this data into digital format.

Add my thanks to the list. Very valuable material!

Bruns it's going to get even better with the new host. We've had an upload restriction and that is why most of the manuals have been hosted elsewhere. With the new host we'll have them here too. :dude:

Some of the links and images don't work anymore. I guess that's part of what will need to be fixed during the transition.
