I had the original post on this thread and wanted to follow up with my
findings. A couple of people mentioned antenna problems along with the radio
problem and since my Z had a manual mast installed at some point, I thought
maybe they're related. I replaced it with a power antenna (new, adaptable,
but not Nissan original) from Ebay. Afterwards tested the unit and the radio
turned off/on just dandy which it had never done in the 3-4 mos. that I have
owned it. Tested it further about 20 times, no failures. Hooray! right? Got
in the car a day later tested it again and it didn't work properly. Had to
insert a cassette tape to get it to power up.

Conclusions? none really, maybe I was onto something, maybe it's all
coincedence.........dunno. I appreciate the tip, but for me it ain't worth
removing and sending to wildbill for repair. Also,I really don't expect him
to hurt his potential income by divulging the answer. It does bug me not
knowing the cause.
