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 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).

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!

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 :P 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.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
