yep a lounge chair and a roof :)

mobile tv is just that- mobile tv. it has WAY too many varaiables in it to maintain clear reception.

google TV ghosting , reflections and multipath reflections. for a more technical answer.

digital tuners fix it somewhat but not whilst moving.

I haev customers with $6m boats trying to do the same thing and I will not do the digital tuner on them due to cost and reception issues.

anyone know about the factory sat nav antennas?

i ripped out the r34 factoy setup, and now have a clarion tv screen....it has input for diversity antennas but i can see the plugs are different...oly cos i cant see a mini normal stereo antenna plug anywhere...

if i trace which plug actually goes to the antennas in the pillars...how can i get hold of the plugs so i can make it work with the clarion tv??

if you have the diversity 2 pin plug then you need this:

as for the TV antenna - no they are a separate item. if you had the OEM TV setup in it then it will be in the roof with a diversity amplifer.

yo chris... the radio antenna part is sorted.. got a converter to go into the clarion TVX6551 and then the unit has an output to go into a normal deck antenna.. so that part rocks

the tv antennas is exactly what i am on about... i am glad you know about these...does not seem to be much info on SAU at all.

my question was phrased like crap

So...i should from what i know have tv antennas in the car somewhere cos i was picking up channel 7 (sound only) scrambled picture with the original system.

Now i want to utilise those antennas for this aftermarket clarion system.

Do you know where in the roof so I can trace them... should i pull down the a pillars?

when i find them... can i buy some pin style connectors to wire to the ends of the existing antenna plugs and then plug it into the clarion unit.

or should the pin style MINI antenna plugs already be hiding in the car somewhere...

thanks for answering so quickly chris

probably going to need to pull the roof. some were on the sides some were just above the antennas (where are yours?). once you find them you will see a 4 core flat cord that feeds them - follow that back and put teh appropriate connector on it. thet are alos powered so note that wire as well are power in up.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
