Hey Doug, No, I still have the TR6, just got back from a little mountain run with her, and yes I'm still married after buying another 240z..... The third bay is reserved for the 71 240....My wife is wondering if she's ever getting in the garage again...... Take care, Randy

Thanks guys for the information, Steve, when I was playing around with the wires and got power I couldn't turn the radio off without disconnecting the wires, in other words by pushing the knob in to turn it off, it didn't turn off, the light continued to illuminate. Also, is the Blue wire the Antenna even though I have a completly seperate antenna switch? I didn't show it in the picture, but on the top right side I have another switch with three blue wires extending out. Thanks for the replies. Randy

Hey Brian, Here are the pictures from the PO who sold me the car, I won't have it until late next week or the next....more like the next. I have been looking for an original Green FOREVER, and so I decided to take a chance on this one. From talking with PO it sounds like it's in pretty decent shape. He states very minor rust, surface only.....well see, and great running condition, althought it needs vent hoses. It was "restored" by a nissan dealer in 1987 I believe, but hasn't really been touched since then. I'm excited about the car, can't wait till it gets here. My Orange 73 will finally have a Big Brother. Let me know what you guys think if you see something out of the ordinary...I have thick skin, so let the comments fly.....

Hey Guys, I'm trying to install the factory radio on my 1973 Z but can't figure out the wiring. I'm assuming the PO could have made some changes so here's what I got so far. Coming out of the radio I have the following: Blue wire...........? Gray.................speaker? Gray/Blue..........speaker? Red..................? Coming out of my car I have the following: Yellow with 1A..............? Blue with 5A.................? Black...........................Ground? L and R speakers............To Gray and Gray/Blue from Radio? When I connect the ground to the radio, the Blue 5A to the Blue radio wire, and the Yellow 1A to the Red the radio comes on.....and stays on, you can't turn it off. When I reverse the Blue and Yellow nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Randy

Could someone post several close up pictures of the 240z Radio. I just removed my aftermarket unit, but the original just doesn't seem to fit right. Once the faceplate is on should you be able to see the metal top part of the Radio if you look toward the back? Just need a refrence point....I'm stuck. Thanks, Randy PS....it's for a 1973 model

Carl, Thanks for the clarification, you make a great point. I just recently purchased a 1971 that has the round emblems and I didn't know if those were correct...I say this because it's whats pictured in the photo's I have, the car is in transit so I havent seen it in person yet. I will check the VIN, and build date and post it for more clarification. Thanks guys, Randy

Thanks Marty, I wasn't aware of that, No hatch vents on the car so it must be a late 71..... Randy Arne....send me one...

Does anyone know if the 71 model had the round Z vent emblems or the 240Z vent emblem, or is either one correct. Thanks,

Thanks for the advice.....I appreaciate it.

Well, I just took the 73 on a very short drive and when I was about half way home the car started to sputter, it got worse the more you feed it gas, but you could come off the pedal and rev it in neutral. I put it back in gear and started down the street and again it sputtered and you could notice that it had a loss of power as well....... I am no mechanic so any feedback would be appreaciated. Could it be: Fuel filter spark plugs bad gas or something more serious... Thanks, Mally

Walter, That looks great, I may have to upgrade to the dual fans....

I just finished installing my electric fan several weeks ago, you will find that it is easier than you think. Like it was said earlier remove your old fan to make room for the electric and mount it more to the left side....(as viewed behind the steering wheel) It is a tight fit, but it will work. Mine is attached with pull ties that go through the radiator fins, it holds the fan very well. Once it's attached just make sure you wire it for puller mode. You will need some type of breaker that you can buy at any auto store for around 6-10 dollars. Mount your t-stat, connect your wires, and run it to the battery.... Here's a few pictures of mine if it helps........Good luck, Randy PS....Yes, I know I need to detail my engine bay........

Here is a picture of mine, can it be fixed? I have been searching for a faceplate for three weeks with no luck. I bought one off ebay that was described as "not broken" but of course it was. (seller did refund my money though)........So if that mystery person is interested let me know. Thanks, Randy

Pictures.....We need pictures. I also have the same problem with my face plate, who did the work and when can I send them mine. Regards,

Hey KDMatt, The stripes are original, I got them from a fellow member here on the board. I had ordered the MSA stripes, but like the original look better. They came in Black also.

Wife just got me a new Canon 30D so I took some photos of the 240....This camera is GREAT!! Have a great week everybody......

Arrived Knoxville, TN 7/26/07

, Doug, you may be right, but I'll probably keep her and keep looking around for a green Z. If I could have found a Nissan Restored 907 4spd, then I would have given some serious thoughts to buying it.....love that 907. BuT I also love my 918"Refreshed" 240 as well.

Bob, Thanks for the reply and information. I'm toying with the idea of selling my 71TR6, but only if I could find a 907 color 240. Still in the undecided phase, as I still enjoy dropping the top on the TR. I did see one on Ebay that was around 8K, looked clean with little work needed. Regards, Randy

Thanks Carl, Do you know how many were done in Green #907 with 4speeds. I noticed one gentleman had two of the restored Z's in GA I believe, and one looked like a 907 color but with an automatic. Thanks, Randy

Are any of these cars currently for sale? I wasnt sure if the owners would post on Ebay, or if there was a more "legit" site.

Here's a picture of my sensor, it should try and go near the inlet hose between the radiator fins. Good luck

Hey Moonpup, Yea, I saw that one, but your right the face won't work. Thanks for the heads up. Randy

John, Yes, thats me. A local member had given me an old radio but we never could get it to work, so I'm back looking. Send me a picture and a price if you have time. Thanks, Randy rmally@chartertn.net

Anyone have a radio in decent condition that you would be willing to sell? I'm looking for one for my 73 240Z, and yes I saw the one on Ebay for....Gulp.....$425, but that's too steep for me. If someone has one they want to sell please let me know. Thanks,
