How the hell do u get the radio out of the K10? ive got the standard LW radio and want to put a CD player in the car but i cant get it out, tryed using screwdrivers everything! any tips? cheers, jace 
Hey there,
Take out the ashtray first (slidy bit below the radio, just pull it hard) then unscrew the ashtray mounting plate (just one philips screw in the middle i think).
The standard radio is then held in with 2 screws from below.
you have to get underneath to see :sleepy:

sure your not mistaken? lol
Ems car is a datsun and mine was a super s, and they're both the same. 1985 through to 1992! Would be interesting to hear other peoples input
The haynes also says, as betley mentioned above, that the centre one does the stereo. I mean, you can even look at the original stereo and see the hole where the screw goes into it!
honestly alan, im not mistaken.
My last car was like this and no one had ever taken out the radio, and my Super S doesnt have holes in the metal ashtray holder for 2 screws!!
Its just one of those odd quirks i guess, probably relating to when or where they were manufacturered.
Perhaps clarion made a mistake with the design of some of their radios, putting the holes at the side...

yer thats rite 1 screw in the middle
lol this is a funny thread!...
My Haynes (blue cover ('83 to '93) contradicts itself:
CH 13 (suplement):
- 'remove ashtray
-"extract THE..." (singular) "...screw and take out metal cover plate from the top of the astray recess."
- "Remove the radio securing SCREWS..." (plural) ".... These are located under the radio (photo)"
then in the photo the figure title says
-"Remove the radio securing SCREW " (singular- contradiction)
And just to throw in more confidence in the accuracy of haynes:
Chapter 12 (Electrical System):
In the contents list there is an item "mobile Radio Equipment - interference-free installation.......29"
but the last section in this chapter is infact section 28.(cigar lighter)..lol (damn!... I was looking foward to some hints on interference-free installation)
..Lets just hope all the torque and clearences figures are all right EEEEK!

lol i thought it was the one screw in the middle orginally but that picture makes it look like the outer 2 could secure the radio as well perhaps you can use either depending on what stereo is fitted....
but the haynes says the middle one is the boy at least if you have a factory fitted stereo
i remeber my super s had its radio secured by the middle one man that was a piece of crap lol

Speedle said:i think he's right rimmer infact now i recall im almost certain that the outer 2 hold in the radio and ive removed more dashboards than you rimmy
Not what you've just said boy! besides, you shouldnt need a picture to refresh your memory if you've removed so many dashboards in the past
