I like my Haynes.
If you search the FAQ's they dog the Chiltons for not enough info.
I guess its up to you. I had the Haynes for 3 different cars and it has worked wonders for me.

Here are the quotes from the FAQ's

----------------------------------------------------------

I have a Chilton manual, the green one with the thickness of a phone book. It's not close to as good as the Nissan one, but at $20, no complain.

Yesterday, I was at Grand Auto and saw the Haynes one by accident. So, I ripped open the plastic wrap and started to read. (I bought that book afterward, so it's not vandalism.)

God, it's much better than the Chilton one. Besides, it's only $13. It has more pictures, covered more on the late model Sentra than the early ones, they even have an exploded view of the Nismo B13 kit. I will say it answers 85% of all 'How to' questions on the list.

It's a lot more practical than the Chilton. The only thing the Chilton one excels is the specification tables, since the Haynes one contains none. The BEST one I have ever layed my grubby paws on is the Nissan one. But it's a little costly.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I highly recommend checking out the Haynes service manual. I discovered and became a supporter of Haynes when I had my old '82 Subaru hatchback. I recently purchased the Haynes Sentra manual. The latest version covers the '82 to '94 sentra. Yeah, that's a big year range, but I find it to be an excellent companion to the Nissan service manual. And hey, it's only $13.

I tried to find a used one but no one would sell me one!

Still $63 isn't bad and it is currently grease free (almost)! ;)
