    As I plan to keep the car stock, secured these rear tie down hooks from ebay. They seems correct per the FSM to be rear tie down hooks. Left one aligns with the 3 bolt holes I have on the body. The right one #6 seems a bit different than the left. #6 has 3 holes almost vertical in the pic vs the one i received which is a mirror copy of the left. Anyone has them installed?

    No, i dont have the pieces. I was thinking like @Yarb mentioned to use some plastic same thickness and then use fiber instead of using all fiber which might be too messy and also uneven etc.

    Has anyone tried doing a fiberglass repair on this portion of the center console? mine is in decent shape except the rear inner section of the arm rest. Any ideas? previous threads or videos would be great.

    Hi Guys, My 280z has a rear slanted cardboard deck. The one which curves up. It hides all the stuff below. Also that deck sits at the edge and doesnt seems to leave any room for this panel. I dont believe this can fit the 280z with deck. Does anyonehas this on their 280z with slanted deck? whats the general consensus about this part? https://www.datsun-garage.com/products/tail-light-panel-1974-78-260z-280z-coupe-only

    I have ordered an 8ohm car speaker. Will report back the difference.

    This is the Clarion connector I have cut. I had mapped the blue, green and red wires per above. There are only 5 wires out of radio. No solid black. Only thing I was trying to clarify was the white and white/black wires and seems like I got the answer. Radio is mono and the white/black wire is ground for speaker or negative. I had the two speakers installed and seems like I won’t get a stereo out of this radio. So the only way to use both speakers is either connect both to the white but that increases the load a lot. In fact even one speaker polk audio DB 522 I have is a 4ohm load and volume is low. thinking of using a amp with high input speaker connections in front like a Clarion XC2110.

    Seems like he had the black and white/black at the connector connected to the white/black at the radio.

    It’s in the post link in my previous reply. But here it is… it shows 6 pins but one of the white wire from the radio was split Y going into 2 of this connector pins.

    So what is the best way to proceed here? just connect the two speaker wires to the White and White/Black wires from the Radio?

    @Captain Obvious old thread I am installing a Clarion radio and I do not have the BLACK/RED. It only has 5 wires: Blue Green/White Red/Blue White and White/Black My original 280z harness has the 6 pin back connector which does have a Black/Red but this Clarion do not have this wire so I am assuming Radios on 240z/280z were always mono. I am not sure if the original may be the Hitachi radio is a two speaker stereo setup. For now I tried getting sound via White/Black wire with external ground but no use. At this time planning to just connect the white wire with an external AMP and use the two speakers in parallel.

    Data from various pages on here: Blue is +12V power in. Hot when in ACC and ON. Green/White is panel illumination high side. Goes to the headlight switch. Red/Blue is panel illumination ground side. Goes to the rheostat. The two wires (White and White/Black) from the radio are for speakers. I am planning to add a small AMP in front as the max volume is a bit on the low side output. Using external black cable to ground the radio to the chassis. Next i need to tackle the aftermarket antenna. It only has two wires as compared to the OEM (going for $1K+ on ebay). My aftermarket just extends fully when energized.

    For my 280z I found the connector still attached to the harness. The wires were just cut to accommodate the new stereo. So got a bit lucky three. There seems to be few website which sell these as well, you have to Google but i did not search them properly.

    Luckily, I found that the connector from my original radio harness was complete (male/female). Cut the Clarion connector and tested with the original black radio connector and it works great. Radio lights up!!! Good reception even with no antenna extension. I had to directly connect the speakers with the radio speaker wires as I have the 2 new Polk Audio speakers installed. I think this is a mono radio so planning to just connect the two speakers in parallel and call it a day. Probably will buy a cheap FM broadcaster to send music to the radio ... but i dont listen to anything when driving it anyway. IMG_9138.MOV

    The 240z setup is really nice but i have a bug about keeping original stock stuff. If I get rid of them i know i wont be able to sleep.
  18. MH77280Z
    OK, so my car has this connector still there with wires cut which you see connected in #5 in the pic. This Calrion from the 76 280z 2+2 has a different connector!!! I need to try my luck with the guy i bought the Radio from. May be he still has the parts car.
  19. MH77280Z
    I dont have the female end of this connector under my dash. Seems like this is the only modification the previous owner made. Basically cut out the connector. I could not locate the wiring diagram for the radio in the FSM. I am sure there are power and speaker wires all in this connector. Any tips?
  20. MH77280Z
    Even the brackets fit nicely. Does someone has diagram of the wiring?
  21. MH77280Z
    Now I think for once we all should appreciate the 2+2 for bringing a Clarion AM/FM technology together 🤣

    Guys, need help with the wiper arms. Mine is a 77 280z and wiper arms i took off from that were #4 (#5 and #6 are zoomed). As you see they use some sort of clip that lock those pins when inserted. I cannot find replacement pin type wiper blades online. Now #1 are these i bought on ebay did not realize i need the pin type. But luckily I had picked up #2/#3 from a 240z. So these ebay ones fit nicely on them. I am sure the #4 is an OEM wiper arm as it says MADE IN JAPAN and most of my car has been stock which I have been restoring. So where to get these pin type blades? or should i shelf them and just use the ones i bought from ebay?

    I recall it was from a 1976 280z 2+2. I was not sure whether 2+2 radio will fit 77 280z but still got it. His post is still there on craigslist. It was from this car https://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/pts/d/gardena-datsun-280z-22-part-out/7697141600.html

    Will try approx. M5 dia sheet metal screws tomorrow. I remember they were simple screws into the body.
  25. MH77280Z
    I bought this from a guy in CA pretty cheap $25. Is this the right 280z radio?
