you won't believe it .... when I said "it works a treat" ... I found that was only in the garage ;)

as soon as I drove outside the reception was shithouse!

;)

heheh ... how can I make the reception better?

Can I wire a whole new wire from the actual aerial in the glass or is it too hard?

... why dont u just put a satelite dish on the roof? im sure that'll 'work a treat.'

all u'd need to do to get to the aerial would be to wire it off the new connector u just made. maybe you could run wire from there to a mobile phone aerial on the outside of your car. that way it'd look good at the same time... well maybe???

my car came with a double-din head unit that got great radio recpetion.. after putting in my previous deck, the radio reception is all crackly and has static... so much for being an expensive deck huh?

If you DO find a solution James let me know hey... im in the same boat.. :(

rigga, my car doesnt have an aerial that extends :)

it's just one of those aerials that's in the glass.

the only thing i could think of was that the metal in the garage construction was boosting the signal.

which means the car's aerial is probably shit :cool:

JiMiH,

If your aerial plug has two pins, you must have 2 aerials. Skyline factory headunits use a dual diversity system for radio reception. When you wire your new plug, make sure you connect to the extendable main aerial (the thicker of the 2 co-axial wires) and NOT the sub aerial in the glass. The SUB aerial in the glass is no good for FM, which is why you're getting crappy reception. If you don't have an extendable main aerial (either auto or manual), I suggest you install one to improve reception. Also, make sure all connections are nice and secure, preferably soldered.

Cheers.

hahahhahahahahhahaha good one :)

jimi, youll need to buy a connector (which youve already done) and take it somewhere to get it joined to the wires professionally. the reason your reception is shit, is beacuse youve got shitty contacts from the wire to the outlet. if you want a good result take it to an auto electrician or car audio place, they wont charge more than an hours labour ($50ish max)

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      If it's magnetic what is stopping you from using a magnet on a thin wire from fishing it out?

      Those 2 solenoids in that assembly I mention, are the PWM solenoids for torque converter lock-up clutch & EPC (line pressure control) ~ when most folks hear of 'solenoid failure', the tendency is to think electrical failure...but fact of the matter is, especially wrt the EPC solenoid (which is moving/running all the time), you can have an electrically 'good' solenoid, that's absolutely broken/worn out mechanically inside...ie; valve plunger return spring rubbing against spring retainer plate, lowering preload pressure.. ...and the solenoid armature extension limit spring wafer with bad wear/broken off petals... ...and if there's ever been any metal flying about, damage to the valve plunger end itself... ...the stuff one never really sees, unless you go the whole 10yards trying to answer the question "why is my line pressure screwy, but TCU isn't flagging any EPC solenoid fault?"...and carefully dissect the solenoid. Worst (and most probable) scenario is when the plate spring petals break off, they get held by the magnetic flux, get mashed up by the armature into little bits, which end up in the space between the armature & shading core bore, and things get stuck or randomly jam up, and your line pressure goes flat and doesn't change...and the TCU never sees it, as it doesn't actively monitor LP... ..then it gets into insidious land, if you end up with lower than expected line pressure...lets say high clutch..and the lower pressure causes it to slip ~ when I say 'slip', think say 2000rpm on the drive plates, and 1800rpm on the driven plates, because the slip is making them under-rotate by 200rpm ; you get all the usual nasties like heat and band/clutch wear, but even if it's only 20rpm slip the same thing happens...and... you'll hardly ever pick this up driving the thing with the torque converter active as it effectively masks these sorts of slippages that are line pressure related ...(the newer TCUs can detect clutch slip rate)...just  FYI as it were...

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys, so Golebys has good prices on Bosch injectors, and also sell an adaptor to go from 1/2 length injector to standard with the Nissan 10.5mm top seal.  Does anyone know if that adaptor is to suit the 14mm or 11mm injector tops?  And re. The bottom seal, to suit my standard RB20 intake, would I be right in saying I can just slip the 14mm square section O ring over the bottom of the new injector and done? Thanks in advance guy, Cheers, Rowdy

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      F my life. I was changing the oil on my R32 GTR today as usual and ran into a bit of a snag. I drained the oil out and was getting ready to finish the job by tightening the drain plug, however The stupid magnetic oil drain plug snapped in half, right at the magnet part. After about an hour of trying to remove it, I used a drill bit, which unfortunately pushed the magnet all the way into the pan, and just leaving the hollow threaded part of the bolt remaining. I was able to remove the hollow portion of the bolt from the oil pan with some pliers but the magnet is still in there.  So, the question is, should I drop the oil pan to get the magnet piece out, or is it okay to leave it in there? I really dont want to drop the pan, i'm about to go nuts.  PSA: Do NOT buy a BLOX magnetic drain plug. This is the one i had.    https://bloxracing.com/products/magnetic-oil-drain-plug-m12x1-25mm?variant=37131252859052&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw47i_BhBTEiwAaJfPpgti1D2JwO7TDuMpXuqeQPCuIQSAfwxpWQH5rF9MD7sm5SCZDWLR_RoC_YoQAvD_BwE
