The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Excellent. Now I can actually start working on my cars again with confidence. YouTube videos really are inadequate.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

I didn’t realize I would have a link in an email to click to get another email with another link to download.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

This 1985 Nissan Maxima factory service and repair manual is built around the exact trim you own, giving you the specifications and repair sequences Nissan documented for your specific car instead of a generalized figure that may not apply.

Engines covered

  • 3.0L V6 (181 cu in) — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan
  • 4-door wagon

Trims covered

  • GL
  • SE

Known issues on the 1985 Maxima. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the fuel injection system: fuel leaks in the engine could result in a fire, and the campaign called for replacing the injectors and related hoses on affected vehicles. The second covers the windshield, where insufficient adhesive in the contact area between the glass and the body could allow the windshield to dismount in an accident, risking occupant ejection and more serious injury. Owners have filed 61 complaints for the year and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a fuel injector inspection to a windshield mounting check or routine service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1985 Maxima.
