Here is a pic of my 918 Orange '72 240Z. vincesf

The car you saw was a 280Z, as I have seen it around USF, when I drive up Turk Street. I have a '72 Orange 240Z, and if you see me near the campus, just wave. vincesf

I found it was easiest to lower the fan unit and install the glovebox from below. Thanks all for the help and advice. vincesf

Since I installed my radio and put together my heater control panel, it motivated me to work on one more project, installing a new glove box. I destroyed my original glove box when taking out the clock. In searching the threads, I now understand that I need to remove the blower motor in order to twist and bend the glovebox in place. Can anyone provide any practical help before I start? For instance is there any trick in lowering the blower motor? Thanks in advance for any help. vincesf

I removed the little knobs on the heater control panel to allow more access for the radio and to clean behind the panel. You can keep on all the knobs, but it allowed me not to remove everything for better access. vincesf

Another satisfied customer of Ron's. One week turnaround and the clock keeps great time. vincesf

The radio was connected properly; however, the speaker was dead. After I replaced the speaker, everything worked great. SoundWave of San Carlos, California fixed the burned-out volume control on the Hitachi AM/FM and installed a 2 foot iPod plug-in chord which comes out of the rear of the radio unit. The chord is flat and disappears nicely, running under the side of the center console, coming out discretely near the driver's seat. Plug in a 3 foot iPod headphone adapater, and it overrides the radio. Very slick, invisible and IT WORKS. Today I listed to an iPod music set with " A Horse With No Name", "Wildfire" and "You're So Vain", it felt like 1972. Total cost was $220.00 to repair my burned out volume control and install the iPod adapter, $49.00 for a new speaker, and many hours of trying to figure this all out. While this may not satisfy audiophiles, the sound is loud enough to drown-out my bad singing voice, and it looks 100% stock. Now for the fun part, reinstalling the Heater Control Panel, Heater Cables, and all those little heater control knobs. Thank you for the responses, it was appreciated. vincesf

I am trying to reinstall my 1972 240Z AM/FM radio, and am having difficulty as I do not have sound. I sent the radio out to have checked and the volume control module was replaced. Also I had an ipod adpater installed into the radio which allows my ipod to override the radio when plugged in. Works great in theory, but I have no sound. I may have not connected the wires to the radio properly. It is all quite straight forward. 1. Black chord matches the black chord to the antennae. 2. 3 prong connector with interior plugs shaped like a U is plugged in. 3. Red and blue wire that merges to a single plug from the radio is connected to a blue wire near the passenger side. Found it that way when I disconnected the radio, but could be wrong as the radio never worked. 4. Then another 3 wire switch lined up all on top of each other |||, I have plugged in near the above blue wire. The speaker itself looks good with no tears and my antennae does go up and down from the radio control. What am I missing? Also, when taking out the control panel, I noticed two switches not connected to anything. A t-shaped plug as pictured, and another plug that comes out of the fan blower wiring harness with 3 plugs like #4 above. By the way my build date on my '72 is 4/72. I took pictures below. Any help would be greatly appreciated vincesf
