Javin Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I was wondering what kind of a datsun book collection everyone has? I have about 6 manuals and 5 of them now in PDF form. I will list mine later. I am toying with an OCR program to make them searchable. Below are the ones I have the digital and physical copies of. Haynes Datsun Pick-up 620 Series Petersons Complete Book Of Datsun Popular Mechanics Motor Car Care Guide - Datsun Chiltons Datsun Pick-Up 1970-79 Datsun Pick-up Factory Service Manual 1978 (Accidentally left this one with an auto repair shop in cali AFTER I created the pdf) I just bought Clymer Datsun 2-Wheel Drive Pickups 1970-1983 Shop Manual but it wont get converted for a while as I lost access to the scanner I was using.

Laecaon Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 A FSM for the 510 is the one thing I can never find online. I can find links to ones that no longer exist. This is a great idea. Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I've got a fsm for the 620, hains for the 720s and a chilton from the 70s for the 620. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I got a dozen or so FSM, paid no more than $5 shipped from eBay. Everytime I see $5 one I get it. They are usually around $20. Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Put my list up top. I am not giving them out due to the horrendous organization of them and the requests that would come in but we will see what I can do with them. I just cant wait to be able to search. I would like to put up the ones out of production so they are available though. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 For now if you have to, put them up on mediafire. I think they have 100mb max but you can split them into different parts. Also They dont make you wait, and no DL limits. Make the folder they are in open to the public and they can see everything in the folder. You are not able to search on mediafire though.

datsunaholic Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I have a couple dozen FSMs. Have a few duplicates. Mostly early 80s duplicates (720, 210, Sentra). I can't recall all of what I have, but off the top of my head: Factory 320 manual with plastic cover (small print size) Factory 520 manual Factory L13-L16-L20 engine manual Factory '72 620 Body and Chassis Manual 620 full FSMs for 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79 (yep, the whole US market set) I have at least one 610, 710, F10, 810, and S10 (200SX) manuals for the 70s. Can't remember the year. 1977 280Z 1978, 79, 80, and 81 HLA10 (510) manuals 1980, 81, 83 (x2) 720 manuals, and maybe another At least one 310 (N10) manual, might be a '79 or 80. I know I have a couple '82 Sentra manuals, which I have to use for my 310 since I don't have a '82 310 manual. '80 and 83 200SX manuals, maybe an '81. In addition, I have various Haynes manuals- '68-73 510, 73-79 620, 78-81 510. 82+ Sentra. 70-78 Z-car. Chiltons of all sorts- 60-72 Datsun, Datsun Truck '70-85, Datsun Cars 72-8?, Z-car, etc. A couple Petersen and Motors manuals, including the Horowitz book. Several Clymers. Maybe more. I also have bookshelves of non-Datsun manuals. I'd bought 4 or 5 boxes of smoke-damamged manuals from a long-gone service station. There's really obscure stuff there, like a manual for an NSU Prinz, think its the glovebox manual, and loads of those old Dictionary-sized hardbound Motors and Chiltons manuals from the 60s and 70s. A bunch of "Emissions Manuals" and pre-release, or post-release mod pages. Plus a full bookshelf of Haynes, Chiltons, Clymer, etc paperbacks, and 60s GM factory manuals. Every one has smoke damage to the edges (which makes them "undesireable" to collectors) but I tried eBaying a bunch at $2.50 for the paperbacks and I only was able to sell the Fiat 124 manuals (go figure). Of course, no many need a paperback Chiltons manual for the Chevy Vega, Chevette, or Ford Mustang II. All this is in dead-tree format. Quote Link to comment
Dirk Diggler Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I have a hard copy Chiltons 70-78 Z and ZX manual if you need. I also have a FSM for the s30 (240-260-280) in PDF that skib sent to me. Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 THIS is what I was working on today. It is only the intro for the book but damn, I have to go page by page and ensure everything was translated from the PDF image to searchable text correctly. Kinda fun to get it done but still tedious. EDIT: Viewing in google docs does not work, but you can download a copy. I am going to do the parts document I have soon. I hate not being able to copy and paste. 1 Quote Link to comment

Javin Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 If this gets stickied, the mods have my permission to reorganize the first post as they wish. EDIT: OH man! I have been having fun with the Fast and Efast software! Cool stuff! I can now look up parts. I am even beginning to understand it! So cool. I can't wait to go into places with part numbers to order my crap! Quote Link to comment
