Daryll,

I'm going to do a Dynomite and bring back an old thread. Thanks for this tip as I was watching the guys try to start my Z at the port when it arrived the other day and connecting battery power to my dead battery with the antenna going up and down, up and down when trying to start it.

I decided to disconnect or put a switch that I have been meaning to do for years, but it was the least important of mods at the time. I will not be listening to radio for 5 years since I can't understand Japanese so figured to disconnect or switch when I found your thread. I actually would like to just remove the antenna as I have an aftermarket stereo too and never, ever use the radio. Plus the antenna on our cars just do not look cool to me when up. I wonder if there is a 1 pound saving of weight?.....lol. Every pound counts sometimes. If someone knows the approximate weight of the antenna I'll yank it and store it if there is a nice so called "antenna delete plug".

Anyway, thanks for the instructions. I don't have a radio shack here to find a switch, but I'll find one at the Autobacs.

I did this mod to my old LT-1 and was the first mod to my Z. If you ever have a need to R&R the antenna as a unit, you will understand. FWIW.... I mounted the switch in the center console.
