Factory Service Manuals (FSM)

If you plan on doing much of your own work on your Z, you should really consider obtaining a Factory Service Manual. These are great when combined with a Haynes or Chilton Manual, since they're designed to be used by factory service centers and are more in-depth than the Haynes.

Nissan E-FAST and FAST software

The Nissan E-FAST and FAST software will help you find parts and part numbers for all Datsun/Nissan vehicles made from 1964 to 2003.

Note: (E-FAST is not a stand alone catalog, so it requires installation of the FAST catalog to open and operate)

Both systems allow you to view illustrations and create parts lists that can be printed and/or saved.
