make sure the plug goes behind the deck for the antenna is plug in... if this comes loose then your antenna will not come up..

once this is checked and it is ok, then i beleive the motor in your antenna is stuffed.. happen with me, just replace the antenna dude...might set you back $55 for an auto antenna.

PUSHEAD - sorry to say, YOU ARE 100% WRONG.

Even in your thread that refers to preditor666's thread, he clearly states:

" The slashed ones are the stripey ones in the two colours.

Green/red - Power Antenna up/down "

When the radio is turned on, it sends a +12V signal to power antena. This triggers a relay which uses a separate 12V line to power the motor up or down. Ground is via body. If you are using the tape deck or cd player there is no voltage on this wire, thus the antena remains down.

Zdenko - Did your inital problems come about by themselves, or did you install a new head unit (or something else) and then the problems presented themselves?

PS: Please PM me once you have answered the question, so that i can respond, as i may forget to revisit this thread. Also include the thread title.

hmmm...don't hard wire stuff! Its a quick and dirty solution, and what happens if you do get a short.. BZZTT who knows what u could blow

Something I discovered last night (after being pulled over by the cops.. oops :).. the tail lights are on the same circuit for the dash lights (speedo, etc). The "tail light" (10A) fuse in the back fusebox is the same circuit for the speedo/tacho, dash lights

Also: many plugs need to be closed or you'll get open circuit and other things attached to the circuit may not work. Disconnect the hazard button plug and you'll notice that your indicators no longer work!! (i discovered this yesterday too... ooops :P but didn't get pulled over for that one)

hehehe: thanx Al :( yup, i think thats pretty much how it all works, so check the separate fuse for the aerial. I think its in the boot fusebox.

The antenna control wire simply is 12v which triggers the motor circuit to go up or down (toggle). Make sure its connected, or otherwise rigged to ACC or connect your own switch.

Please explain, as i work as a electronic feild technecian and consider soldiering and covering with heat shrink to be the best and safest way to connect wires.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
