Would like to have an orig manual but seems they're right up there w/hen's teeth, huh?  If I'm going to pony-up the big bucks, would a 5/70 publication have come in a 5/70 build date?  Or should I look for the previous edition?  Thanks for the education.  G

Both of my original manuals are dated after my cars were built; December 20, 1969.  I can make sense of that.  I haven't ever tracked what I might term as publication dates, however I would imagine that Nissan printed owner manuals at certain date intervals rather than monthly.  I don't think necessarily that an earlier version of the 5/70 is "more appropriate", just watch out for the Vintage Z program reproductions.  They were issued March, 1977.

I appreciate the insight.

How many editions are there per year?  I thought it went 1970, 1971, 1972, etc.  Not clear what you're saying.

That was my thought going into this but if you read the posts above, it appears there were several editions (for 1970 anyway)...a late '69, Jan15, Jan30, Mar, May, Nov...
