There is a thin strip that runs up the middle of your windscreen thats the first aerial..theres a second one on the rear window not sure where..it switches between each one to get better reception..confused why you have bad reception though =s

ohk well ive got an aftermarket headunit.. i installed all the basics like speakers, illumination, power, acc, and earth.. i plugged the aerial into the headunit.. but because i couldnt see an aerial anywhere on the car i just didnt use the power antenna wire on the headunit!... so what exactly is this booster that i have to connect the 12v power antenna wire form the headunit to?

or is it something i need to buy?

cheers

they have one built in which boosts the signal so to speak ie better reception. its just one wire from the stock loom

look for the blk/red wire in the radio harness. if you haven't got it connected you shouldn't have AM radio either. that wire powers teh amplifier. for the rear antenna. if you have metal tint on the rear change it as that affects the reception also.

my R32 has very average radio reception, i think its beacause of the headunits booster cancelling out the cars aerial booster (Alpine head unit). im not realy fussed, theres nuthing good on radio anyway... except fresh fridaynite... rollers i think

Could have my problem, window replaced. I Had a run in with an old man on the way home from JB HI-Fi. had my whole sound system installed, picked the car up and 100 meters down the road an old man who had escaped a aged care facility ran out on the road.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
