PSA: Nico Club Being Forced to Remove FSMs!
« on: April 03, 2018, 11:07:01 AM »
This was posted on another forum and it looks like the main links are gone already. However, the archive page is still there.  I'd get over and DL and save these if you haven't.  If you don't want to do that, I already have them dowloaded for a 2015 and will be saving them into a public Google Drive folder.

What the eff?! Jeez. Downloading each individual pdf is a pain (but I’m guessing worth the hassle saved later)... or...

Diyservicemanuals (dot) com has a single download for each year. 07 and 10 don’t work for some reason. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah, they've been around for a while.  NICO has paid for them every year, but apparently a change in managment at Nissan and the company didnt like the fact that NICO was sharing them.

I did, but didn't own a Nissan.  I started using the manuals when I purchased my S13 in 2005.

Yup. Haynes, and don't forget the Chilton manuals, too. I had one for my first car in 98, which was a 1986 Honda Civic hatchback, and my second car in 99, which was a 1982 Toyota Corolla coupe. I used those books to resurrect both of those cars from the dead. I bought them both totaled for a couple hundred bucks and got them running before getting salvaged titles for them. Those were the days.

My first car was an '89 RX-7, I think I had to order the Haynes through Pep Boys because it wasn't exactly something they kept on the shelf.

'64 Dodge Polara w/426 & 4-speed.  I don't believe there was a shop manual for that beast!
