I have one, but I'm going to have to drop a fair bit of coin to save it. Worth it tho aye. Do you have the embossed tailgate ? Tell you what tho, nothing like having a project to tinker with during this lock down. Quote Link to comment

Stackedfish Posted May 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 With the dash being re-assemble i thought it would be a good time to fit another stereo. I want to keep the interior looking period, so I bought this AM Sanyo FT4301 which I am planning on wiring up with a Bluetooth receiver to get some modern functionality. I have searched high and low for a wiring diagram but I cant find and resources on Sanyo radios with this wiring configuration. My knowledge of electronics is limited (no multi-meter either) so any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 To me it looks like that blue wire is the power... you can see part of a fuse holder attached.... The other 2 sets of wires should be the speaker leads, and I'm guess its grounded to the case.... Quote Link to comment

Stackedfish Posted June 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Took the heater core and the radiator in for testing yesterday. Heater core passed the pressure test with only 1 of very small crack found which will be braised up when the core is flushed to remove debris. As I expected, the main radiator is cooked. Needs a new hand made core to the tune of $625 NZD. I'm not keen for the cheap aluminum replacements. Buy once, cry one in my opinion. Interesting thing the technician mentioned about the radiator. He said its unusual to see a three core radiator on a 2.0L petrol engine, usually he only sees them on diesels. Those of you with factory L20Bs, do you have three core or two core radiators ? The replacement will be a two core to save costs. Tech reckons it will provide ample cooling. Anyways, hope your all going swimmingly and giving those dattos some love if your in lockdown.
