im looking forward to doing my own block build. i know i should ask this in the DIY forum, but i figure this is the forum that rips motors apart more than anyone else. not to mention the fact that most of the shop guys lurk here...

not looking for a haynes manual, or anything of that nature.

something with every torque spec and numbered part pictures and diagrams. usually the size of a phone book.

thanks.

 

Search for rmedix and try the NA build section i belive he has some of the most detailed DIY motor builds i've read about on my350Z..

 

You need the service manual for your specific car, model, year. I think it is downloadable off this site, somewhere...

 

That would be the shop service manual. Available free on the internets.

 

Good thread below:

i want the book version. one that i can take into the garage and not have to worry about getting engine grease all over the keyboard.

 

+1 excellent thread!

 

there are no factory hard copys available. all are on CD now! i have looked into this and i just down loaded the manuals off of the internet. the dealer ship wants around $350.00 for the CD set.........

 

I am not sure if they have been discontinued or not.. we have the hard copies here. It is the equivalent to 4 large phones books. I can check with my parts guy if you need.

 

there are sites you can download it from and then just print. All you need is the EM section and it is around 130 pages which either you can print, that is what I did.

 

Varies for each year of the 350Z. What's the month/year your 350Z was created? (Check the driver's side door for details).

 

can kinkos print pdf and put it together as a book for you?

 

thanks Hal. i am interested in the hard copy. just give me a heads up when you have information available. i am paypal verified if necessary.

 

Well, I just spoke with my guy and looks like JETMECH was right. They are no longer available If you need the PDF version let me know.
