Haynes Manual for 05-08 Frontier/Xterra: Good for R51?

[deermjd]

I am considering purchasing the Haynes repair manual for 05-08 Frontier/Xterra since there is not a manual for the Pathdinder. Why they didn't include the Pathfinder in this one is beyond me. I would think most of the mechanical information in this manual would also apply to the Pathfinder since it has a similar drivetrain. Has anyone personally used this manual and did you find it useful? I have used various Haynes manuals in the past for my previous vehicles and have been waiting for awhile for one to come out for the R51 but I don't see that happening.

i use the manual in our fifth "sticky"
i've never been a fan of non-OEM manuals

That's what I use as well and I think it's great. Sometimes it's nice to have a "shadetree mechanic" manual that is written specifically for the DIYer rather than a factory technician. Also having actual pictures of repairs is nice to have.
