Replacing The Antenna Wire

[FBRacing]

I have a R33 and the antenna wire that goes to the rear mast was cut. Anyone know where I can get a replacement or repair parts to splice it back together? I'm located in the US so I couldn't go to the local audio shop to get a replacement since we use a different style of ends. In the past, I've tried soldering it back together but it never sounds the same.

Its just coaxial as far as I know. Find a place that does television antenna cables and talk to someone about a joiner

The end that goes into the back of the head unit over here is available from automotive electrical shops but seen as you said things are different over there not so sure.

Technically it should be japanese wiring anyway

After calling around and going to a few different places, I've figured that I'll just run a powered antenna that some of the audio shops have. They're like $40 for something decent. Just wondering if you or anyone else might seen a website that has repair kits for these things. I googled it and came up with all kinds of results that got me nowhere. It's cut at a foots length before the rear mast. Guess the guys at the body shop felt it was easier to cut it than to unplug it from the mast. Just one more thing to spend unnecessary money on. I'd prefer to fix it cause I like keeping things like that oem. Thanks for the input.

I told you, it should be coaxial. As long as there is a little bit of cable still hanging out of the antenna you should be able to use a joiner like this and a bit of extra coax to fix it

That's exactly what I was looking for. Problem I was having is all the coax repair kits that I found are for 1/2" diameter. Plus I didn't even think to look on the Australian eBay. Thanks !

Spoke to soon. That's for RG-6 size. That's the most common coax. The one in the skyline line is like maybe 1/4" thick.

No worries though thanks for the help!

standard 15' extension will fix it.. if it was a 32 or 34 then its a different matter.

It's a 33

aware of that. antenna is in the left rear. a standard antenna extension will sort it.
