Original
1600 Engine and Chassis Original
2000 Engine and Transmission 1970's
Aftermarket Reprint of the two manuals on the left, plus the
emission and "safety" updates 999-J2U 999-J3U 999-92U We
have a fluctuating supply of used manuals. The original
manuals on the left, along with the emission control and
later brake master cylinder manual were combined into one
manual by various aftermarket book publishers. They were
reprinted using a press, so the photo quality is roughly
comparable to the originals. If you bought a new Datsun 2000
in 1967 you would have had to buy both the manuals on the
left as only the 1600 manual has the brakes and suspension
etc sections. You will find the Nissan manuals (or the
reprints) to be horribly inadequate if you have had the good
fortune to see a manual for a newer car. Some of the
translation errors are hilarious, or would be if you weren't
lying on your back trying to get your car back together and
trying to make sense of it all. (please email and we will
translate...) My
favorites are the section describing removing the
starter...with the engine OUT OF THE CAR!!! Or how about
"Installation is Reversal of Removal Steps". Anyone who's
ever picked up a wrench knows that installing a part is
NEVER just the same as reversing the steps! To make your
task truly impossible, pictures of the 1600 carbs are reused
in the 2000 section (they're different). There's lots of
information, much of it useless unless you actually plan on
rebuilding your alternator YOURSELF, etc. Unfortunately
that's all there ever was. These manuals, coupled with the
most screwed up parts book I have ever seen, enlightened me
as to why so many dealers bailed out of working on these
cars or dealing with parts for them so soon. As early as
1974 many of the local dealers in the Seattle area were
reluctant or just refused to touch them. Once I made the
rounds and they found out we had a roadster shop; roadsters
started arriving at our garage, wow did they start arriving!
I was just a backyard hobbyist then, who had done the same
thing in San Diego in a much smaller way for a couple of
years. Geez, that was 32 years ago, I wonder if I'll ever
have a "real" job again? Some
of the older manuals also came in a version that had a green
plastic cover with the loose pages bound inside by 3 posts.
We consider them the same part number as the later version
that had the paper covers. ...... WHAT'S

SPL311 Owners Manual 1965-1967



Supply changes constantly, most of the used manuals we get
typically are a bit wrinkled, dirty or just plain beaten up.
We consider a "good" manual to be one that still has it's
share of enthusiastically placed dirty fingerprints, but is
totally intact and readable, no time spent in a wet trunk
etc. An "ugly" one is in worse shape, may be missing a
cover, or be dirtier than usual, or be water damaged, but
not to the point that each page isn't turnable and readable.
"Nice" ones are of course extremely rare, those that only
almost clean hands touched. PLEASE EMAIL WITH THE PART
NUMBERS OF THE MANUAL(S) YOU ARE INTERESTED IN AND WE WILL
LET YOU KNOW WHAT IS AVAILABLE. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THE
BOOKS DON'T STICK AROUND VERY LONG.
