Online PDF Factory Service Manuals?

[MikeFD3S]

Does anyone know if anyone has posted Nissan Factory Service manuals for the 240sx? Several other car forums have people who've put them up (as well as parts fiche) in PDF format.

I'm looking for the '89 240sx SOHC Coupe manual. Im gonna undertake the TSB fix for shaking steering wheel issue in S13s. It'd be nice to have a quick reference i could print out.

Now before anyone goes off about stealing or anything of that nature... the Mazda factory service manuals i use have been put online for the last few years with absolutely no litigation-- they're a great service to the DIY community and Mazda has had no qualms about their presence to this date.

If anyone wants to do this and host them, I have access to a nice big Minolta Dialta printer/scanner that will scan all the pages rather quickly. Should be a good resource for the forums

/cgi-bin/bump.cgi?=anyone?

I'm interested in this also, but I have a 91'... if anyone has a resourse, I'd help us both out.

To the best of my knowledge, it hasn't been done yet. I was planning on scanning the FSM for 89-90's in piece by piece but I haven't gotten around to buying it yet. I'd say your best bet is ebay.

[MorganS13]

i know that the manuals are different for ever year, but how much (if any) would they differ from say 91-94

[transient]

I can't see why they would differ at all really... There may be small things, but all of the important things would be the same.

These arent the US ones but we do have the CA18 s13 and SR20 s14 PDF FSM's

Dude, that is awesome. I'm going to study the CA18DET engine until it arrives :D

[andrave]

this is really old but I'm gonna need help interfacing the ca18det wiring with the stock stuff and I would also like the fsm for the sohc.
or at least a site that details the wiring changes necessary.

[transient]

What exactly are you trying to interface it with?

[andrave]

its in my post. sohc ka.

[DuffMan]

I spent a while looking for sohc wiriing diagrams online and couldnt find any. I know a few people on here have the fsm and it would cool if they could scan the wiring diagram.

From my trial and error, I have determined that a lot of the stuff is the same as the KA24DE which is available.

If someone could point me in the direction to finding the printed copy, I wouldnt really mind getting it scanned :P I really wish I could find it scanned too, for the SOHC. Im not going to buy and rely on on darn Chilton manual, unless somebody can promise me it's good.

WOOHOO! Old thread!

Anyways, Chilton is the biggest waste of money next to modifying your car... er wait...

Anyways if your really bored enough to Scan a WHOLE Factory Service Manual (All 3, 4, or 5 of them) and buy a scanner if need be, Im sure I can get you money raised for the manuals and scanner. Of course, I would only do this after you scanned everything :)

[Warwick5s]

just buy the FSM. i tried to fix a simple electrical issue for months using the ca18det manual, failed, got the 240sx manual and fixed it the next day. there's more stuff different in there than you'd think.

i picked mine up off ebay for 60 bucks.

[240 2NR]

Chiltons manuals are available at your local library. I get those everytime I work on my family's cars for just in case reference. They are hardly as complete as the FSM but are more newb friendly and have lots of pictures and wordy instructions (yet are some how vague on the important stuff).

If you know the pages you need for your TSB update let me know and I can scan you a few pages (like 5, I have no intention of scanning 400 pages at the rate mine scanner goes).

This should do it.

Dude, where did you get that??? That's one of the best manuals i've ever seen in pdf format.

edit: Now that I take a closer look, it's not a factory service manual is it?

[AuburnRyan]

Anyone bought those CD Manuals off ebay? I'm not going near those with my money...but was wondering if they're any good?

I've got an '90 FSM, but it lacks some of the DOHC, HICAS, etc. stuff I need for my '91.

[ridebmx]

i bought one of the cd fsms from ebay, its actually not that bad, it was a 81 rx7 manual tho, its basicly just all the pages in pdf, i just print off pages as i need them, has worked out fine thus far, and i just saved the info from cd to my harddrive, so if the cd gets lost i still have a copy

it looks kinda factory, but it's definitely not the 240sx FSM. it looks like a general nissan fsm or something...

still DAMN cool though! real text (not scanned) makes me a happy boy because it's searchable :)

and Mike, it probably won't help, but I have a '93 FSM that you can borrow if you need!

[crioten]

ill be getting my 91 fsm in next, i guess ill scan all the pages for you all, that is when i get really bored. any advice about scanning and crap, and how do i make them pdf format when i do?

[2brokey]

Well, you'd need Adobe Acrobat (the full thing) to make PDFs, or I think PhotoShop lets you scan and save to PDF format too. That's cool that you are getting the 91FSM and all, would be good if you scan it for here for all the DOHC KA people, but wouldnt help Mike or myself, who have SOHC engines :P Anyhow, im gonna stroll on by my local Nissan dealer and get a few things I guess, and ask about that FSM. Someone else told me the dealer themselves have it cheaper than that place listed earlier that has it for $80. They said their dealer had it for $50 ^_^

[radhaz]

/cheer http://www.zilvia.net/f/blued2/find.gif Thanks for that file luke, something to tide me over till I can get off my duff and buy a FSM from ebay.

[fiebru1119]

will the S14 (SR) manual on the FAQ page on this site be acurate for S13 SR's? I'm looking for a resource where i can get all the info nessesary for a rebuild on an S13 SR (ie torque specs, tolerances, clearnaces.. etc)

there is no english s13 sr20det manual
s14 is close..but not perfect. there are difference. many of the specs will work though

isnt there a USDM car that came with the SR20DE? would those specs be more or less different than the S14 SR? hmm.. I wonder what specs people use when they rebuild with stronger internals..

s14 sr fsm

[Jeff240sx]

The ebay FSMs on CD suck! They say 1500 pages... it's about 600 when you take out the redundant pages.

[andrave]

no FSM for s13 sr20det in english...
hmm, I thought I saw one from australia...
or did they get the ca for all s13's?

[Dousan_PG]

i believe (not 100% sure) aussies got CA and s14 sr20det and s15..like europe..soemthing like that..no s15 in europe though..?? i dont know

just know there isnt a english s13 sr...i heard there MIGHT be one floating around but not 100% on that

[andrave]

dousan- say "europe" where are you talking about?
I spent last summer in england and I'm spending this summer where I spent last winter, in ukraine...
in england I saw lots of "200sx" s13's but I don't know what engines they came with. from what I understand they only came with ca18's. I saw a modified one with an s14 sr20 tho, but that was a swap.

In ukraine, however, I saw left hand drive 200sx, right hand drive 200sx, left hand drive 240sx, right hand drive Silvias and 180sx (with sr20's).
See over there people drive whatever they got, left hand, right hand, jdm, european, usdm, whatever.
interesting, one parking lot had a 3000gt parked next to a GTO, steering wheels next to each other, like a mirror image.

[Dousan_PG]

im 99.9999999% sure

200sx (fastback s13) had CA18DET
200sx (s14) had SR20DET (S14 sr)

i've seen vids with them and for sale ads online AND matt_j here is from the UK/Europe and said so...check tech section

fattyluvs on FA has a kouki s14 in the UK w/ a s14 sr20det
i think matt_j has a CA powered 200sx

i know it is UK and Germany, i think netherlands too..not 100% sure on the latter.

"europe" is a broad statement. i did that on purpose.
