equivalent factory stereo options?

[Stivva]

I have been looking for a factory radio as per my wanted AD, but have come across some 1600 radios. I know the faceplate is different (and replaceable) but can I use a 1600 radio? Are these the same or similar enough to pass?

What other options are out there?

I went googling and couldn't find anything. If they are a hitachi radio you are half way there, if you have a model number I might be able to help you out too.

[Stivva]

Unfortunately, no model number as I am just ebaying.

Got one here from an 82 Bluebird. It's a phillips model and has the datsun logo on the front.

Sometimes but not always. I have a KM-1420ZD which came with a 240Z faceplate and 240Z manuals. I think it depends on the region and spec list of the cars sold there at the time.

[Scoota G]

Is that one in the box o parts?

[Stivva]

Could be??? Who's is this?

I also have the option of this:

One is a 260z radio and one is a 280z radio

Obviously I would have to create a match of the 260z radio with 280z knobs and faceplate...

But I also have to purchase from the states.

[Agno]

I bought a radio from the states and it was damaged in transit. Either make sure they wrap it really good (especially around the adjustment knobs) or look a bit harder for something locally.

The one in the pic above looks suspiciously like the one in my old 83 bluebird.....at least it has FM !

I recal I replaced it with a Craig stereo....now lets see how many people remember the Craig units
