R33 Radio Antenna

[nismoman18]

My Antenna decided to stuff up yesterday! i was wondering if ppl with R33's have problems with their antennas and also how to get them out to be replaced. The bloody thing just didnt want to go down yesterday I played with it and prolly made it worse, so i just leave it out now! Ne answers greatly appreciated

i read a thread about a place where you can buy new r33 antennas but i forget where it was... as for getting the byuetch out... just have a bit of a play....id suggest taking out the lining of the boot and have a look.

I have replaced the mast in the R33 antenna before. Its very easy and can be done in less than 45minutes and costs about $25 in parts.

I think it is possible to do without removing the unit from the car.

If it is the motorised part of the unit that is broken its more expensive (around $100 for a universal replacement unit that fits into the Skyline).

Nissan Dealers sell them.

thank you heaps, i did pull the trim off and stuck my arm behind the metal plate (thats an ass of a thing) the box (i presume is the motor) how do i actually get it out? is that on the other thread at all?

[Craved]

just took mine out for the respray, ummm pretty sure from memory you just undo like 3 bolts!took a bit of force to push the antenna through with twisting, only one problem with it up you wont be able to get it out from behind the jack mount!!! (with the antenna fully extended)

got a spare one here if you cant fix it, we are a bit far apart though!

thanks for the info, the actual motor isnt stuffed its like the mast and thing inside it so i wont have to take the motor out

Just take it apart and feed it down as far as it goes, to the closed position. Then take out ur head deck and disconnect the power antenna wire. The buy a booster and connect it into ut antenna plug. Then u will have excellent reception and no gay stickin up antenna!

How much is a booster ? that sounds good my antenna is stuffed but isnt stuffed if that makes sense, theres like part of it that will not come off, so looks like im gonna take the whole thing out. Anyone know fully how to do this, is it just the bolts as craved stated ? i will force the bloody thing down or chop it off if it is being stubborn hehe, thanks ppls

Hi,

I need to know how you remove the antenna so I can put a new mast on, the other one broke. So could you please tell me how to actually get the antenna out?

Thanks

ok get a pair of tin snips and cut under the first segment and the last. Remove the tongue. get sellys no more gaps and glue the top to the base/motor. undoe the antenna wire and forget out shitty antenna. I did and havent had a water leak or anything wrong.

Never use the radio anyway. and if I do it's only int he city with reception anyway.
