Haynes don't make a service manual for the 240. Will the hard body pick-up manual work?Thanks

Or just do a quick search and download the fu(ker.....FREE. Althoug I will have to say I bought one four years ago and have a much better understanding of cars in general. It is nice to have one sitting in front of you instead of on your computer. Especially when trying to reference something standing under the hood but you can print sections out that you want and if you work around a monster printer just print it out. All 800 odd pages. Just dont get caught.:D

You could always check out ebay for manuals as well. My fiance found a service manual for our 1980 Datsun 210 wagon on ebay and I think we paid $5 or so for it. Cant remember. We also made another purchase for 4 more manuals for a B210 (1974, 1975, 1976 and 1978 810) just to have. All are the orignal manuals.

I have to concur that the FSM is worth every penny. I think I actually sat there and read it for several hours the first night I got it, and learned a lot.

Haynes manuals are okay, the Chilton one sucks for 240's. But the FSM is > all.

Yes they are available at a dealership. I called my local one and they said $150. I almost fell over. Then I call Nissan Publications and it was like $85 shipped.

it's chiltons, and compared to the FSM it's a paperweight. But I corrently own one and it helps out a lot (more than nothing)
