make sure the plug goes behind the deck for the antenna is plug in... if this comes loose then your antenna will not come up..

once this is checked and it is ok, then i beleive the motor in your antenna is stuffed.. happen with me, just replace the antenna dude...might set you back $55 for an auto antenna.

PUSHEAD - sorry to say, YOU ARE 100% WRONG.

Even in your thread that refers to preditor666's thread, he clearly states:

" The slashed ones are the stripey ones in the two colours.

Green/red - Power Antenna up/down "

When the radio is turned on, it sends a +12V signal to power antena. This triggers a relay which uses a separate 12V line to power the motor up or down. Ground is via body. If you are using the tape deck or cd player there is no voltage on this wire, thus the antena remains down.

Zdenko - Did your inital problems come about by themselves, or did you install a new head unit (or something else) and then the problems presented themselves?

PS: Please PM me once you have answered the question, so that i can respond, as i may forget to revisit this thread. Also include the thread title.

hmmm...don't hard wire stuff! Its a quick and dirty solution, and what happens if you do get a short.. BZZTT who knows what u could blow

Something I discovered last night (after being pulled over by the cops.. oops :).. the tail lights are on the same circuit for the dash lights (speedo, etc). The "tail light" (10A) fuse in the back fusebox is the same circuit for the speedo/tacho, dash lights

Also: many plugs need to be closed or you'll get open circuit and other things attached to the circuit may not work. Disconnect the hazard button plug and you'll notice that your indicators no longer work!! (i discovered this yesterday too... ooops :P but didn't get pulled over for that one)

hehehe: thanx Al :( yup, i think thats pretty much how it all works, so check the separate fuse for the aerial. I think its in the boot fusebox.

The antenna control wire simply is 12v which triggers the motor circuit to go up or down (toggle). Make sure its connected, or otherwise rigged to ACC or connect your own switch.

Please explain, as i work as a electronic feild technecian and consider soldiering and covering with heat shrink to be the best and safest way to connect wires.

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
