Perhaps, but in the meantime, i should be buying up all the automatic 240's

Should have rephrased that to "they bid the price up to"

Someone hasn't figured this out yet? There is no build sheet on these cars. Put a $200 4 speed in it and hike the price by 10k

Crap i can't believe I missed out on that set in napa for $450. Last new set on yahoo that i've seen sold for $1500. curious as to how high these go for. http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b220957373 Edit: Final price not bad $1180 usd.

final price 30,101 with 50 bids. NOT bad if its legit.

Famous for cheap cars. 10k is a rotten price for a 71

could you get away with a radio thats not as long? I just measured my factory hitachi radio and its 5" long. Perhaps it's shorter than that pioneer you've got now?

Why not reuse the old evap?

Then It would be option #2 for you. Yes, use an external box with the original style female connector. If you would like, Eric has volunteered to help people with soldering and pinouts.

He was a classy guy with a brilliant and wacky sense of humor. Watched a few of his last interviews on youtube just now. Sure wish they'de find a cure for alzheimer's

I gave 2 options for what he wants to do. 1). Keep the internal oscillator inside the clock 2). make a box for the purple oscillator. (external)

Thought he retired? Good to see he's still in business. I've bought good parts from him in the past too. Also good to see he brought one back that was "totalled"

Yea sorry cancel my order. I was going to try both but i'm very satisfied with the iteration of our version. How about gav240z's request to make the clock and harness interchangeable with the original oscillator? Can he do that with yours if the oscillator is inside the clock?

Take off the little pad where the harness and motor wires connect to. Solder 2 wires to the purple board power connectors. Solder 3 motor wires to the back side of the purple board. That's it for the soldering. I can now use a 240z tail light harness plug to plug into the original harness plug end that went into the original oscillator. Then pin your new female plug for + - and dash light. You could also just use your own harness. All you need is a power source and your dash light bulb. Then bench test it and make adjustments to the pot if necessary. you tell Eric he's going to die. He's younger than me! Your configuration would be difficult. First you would need to find a way to stack on the purple oscillator above the little soldering pads that i have removed on mine so that you could retain the original wiring. Then you would have to make a seperate power source + and - for the purple oscillator. The thing i'm not sure about is if you would have to isolate the 2 oscillators from each other even though the internal oscillator is powered down. I would have to ask Eric on that. Perhaps a switch to isolate them if needed. The easiest way of doing it your way would be to make a box for the purple oscillator.

A few hours on the frame rack and that could be roughed out and ready for a new/used quarter. Even at home i've pulled out some pretty kinked up quarters with my homemade I-beam and 20 ton ram. I have seen people go to extremes to not show any collision damage but if he's willing to put up with a few bumps and waves in the floor then by all means its fixable with just a quarter panel and tail lite panel replacement.

That car looks very fixable.

good to know hitachi's can be fixed by touching up cold solder joints. Wave soldering defect perhaps.

The label is just a warning to mount the tires from the back side to prevent scratching this might have a little info. link to kyushashoes.com

The good new is you can buy a $30 jammer to plug into a cigarette lighter when you rent a car and sometimes go off-roading or very fast. They won't know a thing.

bad news. they can just tape a rf signal jammer to the side of your car and drive off into the night. crap.

But the device is easier to get at inside a boat right? whereas in a car they have to get inside without setting off the car alarm and then there are lots of places behind door panels, interior panels to hide the device. There are lots of video's on youtube where people have tracked their stolen cars and have brought police to that location to recover it. Our old datsun's hopefully will never attract this caliber of thief.

Update: I've had to tweak the pot just a tad to run my clocks accurately. However this is bench testing with an almost constant temperature of 80F.So far i've tested it on 3 clocks and i'm satisfied with the oscillator. I don't know why it needed the little tweak. Eric sent it to me with the slot at 12 o clock. As you can see its at about 11:59. But more importantly,all clocks run good on this setting. No need for me to tweak for each individual clock. Other people will need to bench test their and adjust accordingly if needed. He has graciously assembled the boards that you see below and will be sending them in a few days. Eric suggested a price of 98.50 usd + shipping. Sounds fair? any takers?

i've found that many bad reviews can be by customers that expect precision quality in a cheap china crap 20$ electronic or simply don't know how to use the thing. Some didn't realize that the battery didn't last a month before needing a recharge/new battery. Just to test the technology i was considering the cheaper one. There are a few remote areas around me that have no cell service. With my luck, thats where all the car thieves live

I was thinking about getting one of these. You only pay for gsm cellular data service month to month. Verizon has a plan thats real cheap i believe. amazon auction or a more sophisticated system that allows remote control functions. It says you can turn on the alarm remotely so i would imagine you see real time where the car is at and if it's traveling you could kill the ignition and they would have to abandon the vehicle in the road. A more suitable function would be to send a 1000volt shock to their arse. amazon auction

Ran across this manual the other day. Strange, you guys must have gotten the older radio's. They just put a later model label on them perhaps. Your ZB's have a green light and our ZA's have a green light. Original OEM Series One (1969-70) Datsun 240Z Hitatchi AM Signal Seeking Radio from my own early 1970 240Z. This factory radio was removed a few months after delivery in the summer of 1970 and placed in safe storage since. I had kept it all these years in case I decided to put it back in the 240Z, which after 46 years now I realize I never will. The radio is intact, faceplate, knobs and buttons are in excellent condition, even the original antenna switch is present! Even the original spare fuse is still in it's plastic envelope! It has not been fully bench tested but does power up. AS A BONUS, I will include the original Hitachi instruction booklet that was sold with the car. Try to find one of these today!
