Icehouse Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Very nice! Is that going to make it into PDF form? I thought Mike did that already? I was just going to put it in the stack :D Quote Link to comment
spiffinspudater Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 He may have... i am not sure. I was too lazy to check the mighty scan list... Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Nice...but I hardly think that's your only collection :D Quote Link to comment
71-521 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 mike/bre did the 521 manual... need the 520 manual Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 That's funny.....couldn't find one when we did the scanning, but I just picked one up at the last DatsunNW swap meet. :) We can no longer get the scanning done like we did....so enjoy what's there.....I doubt there will be any added.

71-521 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I have a several nice scanners... I will scan and convert manuals for anyone... Quote Link to comment
tangent Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I just want to say that the 521 Parts List PDF has been a great help.. glad people out there take the time to scan this stuff in.. Quote Link to comment
spiffinspudater Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 What was used to scan the other books in? Was it an auto fed scanner or done page by page? Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 It was done on a commercial scanner that you would do about 100pages at a whack...straight to .pdf files. If it was a matter of scanning pages individually....they still wouldn't be done! :) Most of them had to be copied first so that the pages were not dog eared. Of course, the manuals had to be purchased and several were shipped back and forth across the country. Between the key contributors, we spent around $500 making those manuals available. That's why you keep seeing me post the website everytime someone asks a question that could be answered with the manual! :) I have enough trouble with guys not even buying a Haynes manual that's still available, but being too lazy to download the free ones is extremely hard for me to swallow......I don't care how long dial up takes....plus, Bre620 has offered to send CD's to those with dialup....just pay for the cd and the postage. Anyway....didn't mean to go on a rant there, but it's a dang good thing we're not all as lazy as some of the guys I've seen on the forums. Obviously, I'm not talking about anyone here since you all seem to have used the free ones or have your own manuals. Anyway......back to our sponsors :) Quote Link to comment

spiffinspudater Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 I know this was more a thread to thank Icehouse's sister, but I figured I would show off the things I have just recently recieved through ebay... The one in the top right I have had for a while (and is the one that was scanned to the620.com) but the rest are new. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted May 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Its good to see I'm not the only collecter :D I just won a fsm for a 1200 off ebay, 10 bucks shipped :D I don't really care if there mint I just want all of them! Haha mint would be nice though :) Quote Link to comment
spiffinspudater Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I know this is an old thread but I am going to try to scan and upload some of my manuals. I found a scanner at work the I was told I could use. I just need to find a place to get the bindings cut off and I will start with the scanning. Also, the PDFs I create will be searchable... That doesn't mean that every word will translate perfectly but you should be able to get to what you are looking for easier. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Nice...any progress on that KC model? :D Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I know no one cares about the Z series engines or the 720 but I can't get over getting this for free!! http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=913 Quote Link to comment
spiffinspudater Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 2eDeYe;12933'']Nice...any progress on that KC model? :D You know what is funny is I was thinking about that earlier this week... I need to finish that up... I am still unsure how it will turn out but I suppose the worst that can happen is that it doesnt turn out... I need to get some more of the resin and stuff for it as the project requires more than I thought... I should have plenty of free time and space when my roommate moves out to do it... The scanning of books is easier and cheaper to do atm... :P Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Take the manuals to any Office Depot...they should be able to cut the binding off for you in the copy department. That's where I had mine cut. Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hey, I'm glad that I found this thread. I just the other day started a project along this topic's line. I have, over the years, collected EVERY plastic fuse panel cover that I have found. I have about 8 now, BUT, the fuse location is different from year to year. Did I take a minute with a "sharpie" to mark the year of the truck it was removed from anywhere??? NOOOOoooooooo!!!! So here I am with all these fuse covers. What fits what??? WAAAaaaaLAAaaaa......... I am looking in one of My manuels the other day and there is a little picture of the fuse cover. I go get My magnifying glass and guess what? I can plainly see the locations!! Now I go get My other manuels (I only have 4 total) and sure enough, the locations are DIFFERENT!!! I have just solved My answer!! I had, on the other forum, asked if anyone could make replica covers in plastic. Someone should be able to take a good one for a pattern, and make plain ones. We can then make clear plastic stickers to apply with the correct location of just what year We own. Help anyone????? Quote Link to comment
spiffinspudater Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Alright, I got my favorite one of y books scanned and I will upload it to send space later but right now I am just uploading the Table Of Contents and My favorite chapter. So untill I get home, enjoy! Cover And Table Of Contents Cool Chapter Like I said, I will upload 1 big file and for those on slow connections the chapters individually. EDIT: I have 3 more books to go... I will do the rest probably next week. Quote Link to comment
spiffinspudater Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Here it is in all it's 122MB Glory... Petersons Complete Book Of Datsun I bought this on ebay and haven't been able to find it ANYWHERE so what better way to honor it then to cut it up and put it in a PDF. Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 OK, here, in order, are the fuse locations that I have. The date listed is the printers date OF THE OWNERS MANUEL. The truck "SHOULD BE CORRECT" AS THAT DATE MATCHES THE MANUEL'S DATE ON THE FRONT. From top to bottom 1973 manuel printed in September 1975 Manuel printed in March 1975 1977 Manuel printed Feb. 1977 Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Oh, and yes, that scan of the 1973 owner's manuel was from My first truck, the Datsun SS. I still have the MSRP side window sticker, the California rear window temporary sticker, the warantee book, the front license plate (You can see here why it was removed) and the Escondido Datsun license plate frame. SAVE EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
