lol, bam!

My switch just gives me half-heigh or full-height when it is already coming up.

If yours isn't working, i'd suggest that either it's not powered (check wire in the boot, in the rear quarter) or it's not hooked up to your head unit properly.

It should go to a wire on your HU labelled "power cont" or "p.cont" or "antenna cont".. something like that. But NOT "remote", as i've heard a lot of people run it to that.

If you set it up correctly, it should only ever come up when your turn your HU over to the tuner/radio. On CD it should bring it down, and the button on the dash has very clearly pictured a half triangle and full triangle. Thus, full heigh and half height. It won't make your antenna go completely down, nor will it make it go completely up if the HU is not on radio.

Also check fuse... not sure where it is, but '33s have fuses in the boot next to the battery, and under the bonnet in a black box. (of doom!)

EDIT: and where your right-knee is when driving. Pop the little cover off. There is a handle kind of thing on it for you to pull on.

Hmm mine stays up even when i have the HU switched to CD, does this mean its wired to the HU incorrectly or is it just farked?

Some headunits don't have a power antenna function, if yours is one of these then it will stay up like you described.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
