86 1/2 Factory Service Manual?

riversideguy · Oct 31st, 2005, 03:01 PM

I have an 86 1/2 D21 with the Z24 engine (not i). Which service manual will apply to my truck? I heard Nissan came out with an 86 1/2 FSM, but I haven't been able to find one or even find any reference to one? Wouldn't an 87 FSM manual be basically the same thing or where there any significant changes.

Any info greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Edit: I think the engine is a z24i.

Since you mentioned it's a Z24I, then the 87 FSM will work. You kinda threw me off at first because I had an 86.5 HB KC with a Z24I in it where you say you didn't.

Thanks for the info. I'm new to nissan trucks and have been a little confused ever since I got this one, but I am slowly piecing this together. The air intake cover says z24 electro injection, so I thought it was just a z24. Now I realize that electro injection (throttle body injected) is probably what the i refers to and it is actually a z24i. If this is true, I guess the last question I have is whether there was actually an 86.5 FSM and if it differs significantly from the 87 FSM. I already bought the wrong FSM once (86').

Thanks again

Thanks. Looks like I will go with the 87 manual.
