Where do you keep your Owners Manual?

[TomoHawk]

If it would fit, you could keep it in the glovebox. So then where do you keep yours, if it's in the car? Maybe it could be reduced in size to fit the glovebox, if you printed it from the upcoming DVD archive?

My owner's manual is currently in a tool chest drawer in my garage since my glovebox crumbled. (Note to self: Order reproduction glovebox) Factory shop manuals and Haynes manual are on a shelf in my home office.

Mine is in a fabric kind of folder and while working and driving the car at the same time, i have it behind the drivers seat, it's a perfect fit, otherwise i keep it in my office.

Mine is on a .pdf on my iphone. Its REALLY hard to use, but it's there.

In the glovebox. Again, don't try to answer me TomoHawk. I'm just answering the question and can't see your actual posts........

In the glovebox...

Same here. It fits fine.

[a7dz]

Same place it has been for thirty five years in the glove box where it was put when mom bought this car.

In the glovebox - the 240Z owners manual fits fine, is there an issue with 280Z manuals (although based on Stephen's answer it would appear not)?

BTW, did you pick up a new GTO (the one in your avatar) Stephen? If so, congrats!!

If you place the 280Z manual as far to the right as it will go, the door closes with no problem. Mine's been that way for the 12+ years I've owned it. Mr. Hawk has brought this up a few times over the years but I just don't see what the problem is.

As far as the GTO goes, that's just one I looked at. Sweet deal but it's an automatic so I'm still looking. It is one of the colors I'd take, however.

In the safe-deposit box.

In a sealed PVC tube buried out out in the hay field. Oh wait, wrong message board, I meant in my filing cabinet.

:stupid::stupid::stupid::stupid: I just mis read this and mentioned where i have my FSM, i think the owners manual is in some box, stored in my office.

Chris

BTW, i think the 280Z manual is bigger because of all the pages with shops that can take care of fuel injection problems .

Ha, ha.....and just where would those shops be? Then or now?

I am thinking there must be confusion between the FSM and the Owners manual. I could put a dozen Owners manuals in my glovebox, but I only keep one in there. My FSM is printed from a disc to 8.5 x 11s and fitted to plastic sleeves in a binder for the shed and an original copy is on my computer desk. The disc travels with me in my suitcase in case I need a mental fix.

I think I missed something about the FI - I have a car with FI and another with carbs - the FI is virtually trouble free in comparison.

That's a lot of friggin plastic sleeves and a serious case of OCD!

I know that.......

I keep my owner's manual at Will's house (ha ha), but the FSM goes with me pretty much wherever I drive; it's come in quite handy on the road.

[Walter Moore]

Owners manual? You actually have an owners manual for your car?

[TomoHawk]

I had one, but loaned it To the DVD project. For some reason, it would not fit flat in the glovebox; one side is shallow and the other is deep. I had to curl it up to fit it in the glovebox.

I'm still trying to understand the crux of this thread. If it's simply a question of 'Where do you keep your Owners Manual?' which appears to be the question looking at the name of the thread, then the answer is: in the glovebox. That's the hands-on copy that I actually use. I do have a perfect one that is in my desk drawer with along with any Datsun literature that I desire to keep in that type of condition. If the question is 'Does it fit in the glove box', then the answer is: yes.

78 glovebox, 78 owners manual, end of story (one would hope).

[DatsunZsRule]

I keep mine in the same place yours is Stephen, Closest to the right hand side in the glove box. Fits like a glove :laugh: I too have the Gorilla wheel lock nuts too on my Z My sticker is under the hood though

Sorry in advance for being a smart a$$ but where does everyone keep there socket wrenches???? ROFLROFL

[TomoHawk]

I cfut out a card the same size as my owner's manual, and guess what? It doesn't fit in the glovebox! It actually sticks out some from the front edge.

But... you can still close the door, if you don't mind a little bending of the booklet. I might put in a foam wedge to put it on the correct incline to fit the booklet without the bending. The other option would be to cut the booklet to fit.

Owner's manual fits in the glove bax and will go back in when she's done. The FSM stays in a drawer with the other paperwork, including the orginal bill of sale.

[TomoHawk]

Funny. My FSM occupies a good bit of space on the bookshelf.
