Hey Everyone,

Just a quick question. My auto up aerial is broken, and makes a hell of a racket for about 30 seconds when the car turns on and off, trying to go up (but can't). Does anyone know if there is a fuse which controls the aerial only? I have tried rummaging around inside the boot, but can't reach the aerial cabling. I assumed the aerial wire into the back of the head unit, if disconnected, would stop this from happening, but the head unit is turned off - still happens.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Brendon.

Hmmm who ever wired up your head unit is dodgy... as it sounds like they wired the aerial into the Accesories rather than the head unit itself. I know this because I installed my own head unit and the aerial only goes up when the head unit it switch to RADIO (ie it isn't up if im playing a cd)... So you could possibly get it rewired at whatever cost if there isn't a fuse to control it...

It's actually the factory head unit. Yeha you're probably right about it being wired to the accessory. I'll have to trace it back or something.

When I pull the factory head unit out I'll see how it is wired, and fix before I install the new one.

Cheers.

same thing with me, it would sound like its goin up but it doesnt actually go up, was never anythin wrong with the wiring coz when i got my new tv/ headunit installed it was all fine, but ive removed the rear antenna now so i guess i dont really need to know how to fix but good to know why it was doin that...

      Looks like they've been through a few versions of the kit; that is not the one I had trouble with (it had the level sender attached to baffles on the floor, the one you linked the level sender is hung from the hat). One obvious point about that kit is it has no baffles at all, not even the factory setup (although it looks like you can retain the factory setup if you want).  Not sure if that will be an issue or not, the good news is it looks like you can get the pump nice and low in the tank, but that doesn't help if the fuel is all sloshing to one side of a wide flat tank

      One more question if you don't mind. Is the first kit you tried the same one as they currently sell as their fuel-pump-hanger kit? https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/collections/fuel-system-kits/products/fpg-bnr32-fuel-pump-hanger-kit-single-fits-stagea-c34-nissan-skyline-gt-r-r32-fpg-087?variant=42131478315186 Because according to their video the low fuel warning thing can be taken from the OEM hanger and attached to their new hanger. Just wondering whether this is the kit you weren't happy with, or whether it's a different revision. Thanks again!

      That's the thing....the basics of fuel and ignition are deceptively simple.....getting it to behave like factory in all conditions after airflow mods is way more complex. Newer cars like the V37 are all about modifying the standard ECU which is about a billion times more complex than they were 20 years ago, with a bunch of parameters affecting others

      The larger TB I had on the SS was a pain to get to idle right, but, that was cable In the end they just raised the idle up a couple of hundred RPM so it was happy idling away either in gear or in park (slush box life) I'm curious on how my NC will idle with the new intake, larger TB, and cams that are currently going in/on, but I have faith that MX5 Mania will sort this "electronical" "black magic" out the best they can in the tune with a electronic TB Sometimes I wish I knew more about the intricacies of tuning, but most of the time I don't because I know it would hurt my brain 🤣
