Shop Reapair Manual
I'm looking for a repair manual for my GS, Haynes does not make one, Chiltons sucks as they try too hard to break everything down as though we're all 2 year olds thus completely making the book worthless as they neglect to make sure all the required info. is available ( I think Windows '98 for Dummies would be more helpful).
I have this thing about spending 340.00 Cdn for a book from the dealer so if anybody has one they no longer need, let me know please.

Yes I know the dealer wants 340.00, I even stated that in my previous post but I refuse to spend 340.00 for a book when there's got to be used ones floating around.

Re: Shop Reapair Manual
My apologies, I realized while I was on my way to "Cambodian Tire" that my reply must have come across as being quite rude, that was not my intention. But still, how do they justify 340.00 for a ******** book? They are insane, I guess they figure they have ya by the short and curley's since you do need it, much like other suppliers do with things such as diapers/ formula, etc. I don't have kids but I have had to buy the stuff while watching my nieces, makes me wonder how single parents do it.

Re: Shop Reapair Manual
Why not buy the CD?
i have the paper manual but have misplaced it. The CD would be a bit easier to use. I could copy it into the hard drive and always have it. i coulc print any page i want and not worry about getting it dirty/greasy.
Does anyone have it on CD that i can buy?
Would be nice if i could just go to a site/someones puter and download it to my hard drive using the net or P2P. It would be faster than snail mail and no S/H charges.
oh yes i heard that one on Ebay was not a original but a copy. Not sure but thats what i read on this forum

Re: Shop Reapair Manual
I am also wondering about the cd because i might purchase one from a someone in the next couple days. Is the cd in depth enough to be able to change a head gasket? Toruqe ratings and all?

Re: Shop Reapair Manual
Good site to locate manuals but I notice it is a Chiltons Manual.....Chilton Sucks! they spend far too much timing explaining things like we're all 3 year olds and forget what the hell they initial intended to write about.

Re: Shop Reapair Manual
hey guys
my buddy bought a service manual for his 95 240sx from this guy on ebay. I recently emailed and ask if he could get ahold of one for the mx3, he said ya but wasn't sure how much, they'll run from 70-90usd he thinks. He deals alot with nissan, not so much with mazda. But he seems reliable, i checked out his feedback.
if your interested heres his email ebay@progear2000.com
just email him the year and model, let me know what happens!
cheers
