There were no FACTORY CD roms for 1994Q this an example of wasted money in action!

As they said the HUGE paper manual [or mini manual just scaled down in size smaller print and diagrams but readable] is what you want.

I searched ebay for them and i couldnt find one. I thought it would be bogus, since i saw a service manual for 200 at http://www.books4cars.com

It's probably an ALLDATA TSB CD. I've got one of those and it's mildly useful. . . But not even CLOSE to as useful as the factory manual.

Factory manuals (when in print) are available from http://www.infinitipartsusa.com . If yours is not in print, reserve one with Joe, or you may not get one when they are printed.

I saw one at http://www.books4cars . It was 200, and it said it was the factory manual from infiniti. Would Joe's be cheaper??

I would definitely avoid this one! It is not the person I wasted my money on, but the words he uses in his listing are exactly the same!

Probably, given how well Joe helps us out here. However, he does not have the manual for my 1995 Q for example, so ... I am buying from the books4cars site.

They actually have one? I know someone on the board tried could not purchase an advertised 1994 Q45 manual because they did not have it in stock. I have never seen the 1995 Q45 Shop Manual listed there, but I have not checked for over a month.

I placed an order for one a short while back - have not seen it delivered yet, so I hope it was not a problem. I asked for the 1995 Infiniti service manual - the price was $199.

I'm trying to work a deal on a bulk purchase with the factory. They state in the back of our price book that we can get a discount if we buy four or more at one time. If so, (I'm waiting a call back) I can sell them to you guys for about $85.00 Ea.. I'll keep you all posted.-Joe

Hi, Joe.

Please sign me up for a 1995 Q45 service manual - I have not yet seen the one from the books4cars web site. I suspect that they do not really have it - I will call them tomorrow and confirm this and/or cancel my order.

Are you talking 4 copies for each year or ? ? ?

WOW - @ $85 per / you've done it again ! ! ! :ylsuper

For a '96 copy, you have my CC on file there, I'll call to firm everything up if the factory will come through on their end -

TIA

Joe... you are the man! I have several 90 and 91 manuals, but I sure hope the guys who need later years can get them this way... I can't imagine having one of these cars without the manual. I bought a factory service manual on eBay for my Nissan truck about a week before I got the truck - but that's a whole other project in itself... Anyone else out there (besides Joe) have a Nissan Truck? Mine's a 97 with 105K hard miles on her...

Joe - Do you have access to a 95 (or thereabouts) manual I could "borrow" for a week or so?

I'd make it worth your while - You have my phone # OR e-me off-board.

Update - I just acquired a service manual - over a thousand pages of pure Infiniti gearhead reading enjoyment.

It'll be here in a few days.

Now I gotta measure the magazine rack in the "Throne Room" to see if it'll fit.... :D

On closer examination: it is the SAME guy! He changed his eBay name. Do not waste you rmoney on this Infiniti CD "service manual" that he sells.

Is it too late to get in on your factory service manual deal at $85. I would like one for a 1994 Q45.

Thanks.

Yes, indeed, this is a good deal! Do remember to download all the TSB's too - they have a lot of interesting information about changes, etc.
