Hi,

I had been looking for this WASO for long time, finally I made it!

We know HLS30 has VOSS type from HLS30-00001 according to Technical service bulletin .

But this WASO was disassembled from US 240Z( 02/1970 HLS30-016XX).

Yes that car could get WASO as a replacement at some point in the past, but I can not say that there is no WASO 240Z originally in the US,

what do you think of it?

From a service manual,the picture showing steering column, you can see WASO with a LHD car.This already does not prove the Technical service bulletin

is 100% correct.

WASO cylinder is much heavier than VOSS, a big plastic cap is unique , fat cylinder is requiered bigger key-position face plate and outer escutchon.

Please let me know if some one has early HS30 and its WASO cylinder has warning buzzer function.

I want to know that,if HS30 does not have that function, then my WASO cylinder would be made only for HLS30.

Japanese S30s do not have warning buzzer function(I'm talking about early,like 69 to 70) ,

if my hypothesis is correct, why Nissan made WASO with warning buzzer function for HLS30 despite saying no WASO for HLS30

on the Technical bulletin?

Japanese S30s , I do not know. But seems most of the early cars have VOSS type. Japanese owners have FH and VH prefix keys,

I have to ask whom has FH prefix key is for WASO or VOSS.

However,the service manual has a picture which is showing steering column with WASO cylinder.

The WASO cylinder is painted brack, and can not see the switch for warning buzzer function.
