Hitachi radio coil replacement
Speaker balance doesn't seem to matter happens on both speakers. In looking at the two ha1339 ic's I am getting power to them but some of the pins are showing a higher voltage then the schematic says. Could these be blown? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Hitachi radio coil replacement
For the speaker wires I am using the 3 pins on the left. Vertical is ground and top and bottom correspond to left and right. I have the same issue using the car speakers that I do on the bench Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Hitachi radio coil replacement
If you are looking at the back of the radio at he 6 pins ( 3 on top and 3 on the bottom) power goes to the top right pin and ground goes to the bottom left. I reversed these and then couldnt understand why the radio wouldn't turn on. The cap cap I took out was on the power unit pcb. C007 on the schematic. Do you think I have a bad cap connected to the volume pods?

Hitachi radio coil replacement
Happy new year!!! Thanks all for the help. to post an update. I am a total newbie and made a lot of mistakes but I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Here is how the mess happened, I was trying to find the hot wire going into the radio because I wanted to add a switch so I could go between the radio and the aux. Idiot that I am I didn't think and grounded the multi-meter to a painted surface. So it appeared no wire was hot, and then that's where it snowballed. I pulled the wires out of the plastic connector on the harness figuring I wasn't get a good connection for a reading. Before I did I marked them on a piece of paper. Now in hindsight marking top and bottom would have been useful and not using the letter b for blue and black would have been wise. Long story short whole radio opened up, resodering, breaking pieces and replacing them and finally figuring out the correct wire configuration. Now The radio tunes on both fm and am. But....there is an issue. I can only hear the radio at a very low volume ( volume control turned almost to 0). As soon as I raise the volume I hear a clicking noise. Rasing the volume control doesn't make the audio louder either it just starts this clicking noise. I know this is vague so I am uploading two videos. One you can hear the clicking and the other you can hear the audio. Does anyone know what I should do next? I don't know what would cause this.

Hitachi radio coil replacement
To be perfectly honest I screwed up and killed a fully functional radio. Now I am trying to troubleshoot it to get it working again and admittedly I am in over my head . Been trying to teach myself some things and searching the web hoping I can find the problem. When I was using the multi-meter last night it appeared that this component was not working properly. I realize now it is. Based on the schematic it looks like there is a coil before the fuse. I need to check that as I am not getting any voltage at the fuse.

Yes, I used the wrong word. It is a capacitor. Thank you for the help

Hitachi radio coil replacement
Does anyone know what I can buy as a replacement for this coil? I removed it from the power unit pcb. The schematic says it is 1.5 mh. I am not sure what the other markings mean.

240z steering wheel
I saw that post thanks for the info. However that is the opposite of what I want to do. He added a 280z horn pad to a 240z steering wheel. I want to keep the 240z horn pad and steering wheel intact.

240z steering wheel
Hey Guys, I am sorry if this has been answered before but I came seem to find what I am looking for. If I want to buy a 240z steering wheel with horn pad and put that into my 1978 280z will that work? I see a lot of issues with horn pads but that seems to be when trying to use a 280z horn pad with a 240z wheel. Thanks

1978 280z Radio
In case anyone else has this issue I wanted to provide some more info. I sent the radio off to a repair shop who said the FM was shot and that it could not be fixed. So I started looking for another radio. The radio that came with the car was a Hitachi KMZ-2411z. I could not find another one for less than $1k. Looking through Ebay I found a Hitachi 2501BA for a datsun 810. Turns out that although the model numbers are different this worked perfectly in my car. Did not need to change a thing. Also, it has a 5pin din connector at the back. I used this to plug in my iphone. Works great!

1978 280z engine component??
Hello all, Can someone please tell me what this is and what it does? I was troubleshooting a vacuum line issue with my defroster and stumbled upon this. It has a line going into it but then nothing coming out of it. The line going into this doesn't connect to anything either. It terminates near the vacuum bottle canister on the passenger side. Any help would be great. Thanks
