Hey guys,

My antenna is pretty stuffed, it wont go down as there is a very slight bend in a few of the segments. I tried to bend it straight but it came close to snapping off so I stopped.

Does anyone know of a replacement solution, will a replacement mast (ive seen these available at like Super Cheap) fit? would one of those "universal motorised antennas" fit?

Maybe a wrecker would sell me one, anyone know a likely candidate to have this part?

Thanks

"f***en whoops!!" How much did nissan charge for that?

I have got prices ranging from $95+labour to fit a new mast to $125+labour for a new(secondhand) unit.

I am going to try a repair job myself using a "universal replacement mast/rope" and pull the unit out myself. It looks like something i could handle and might learn something at the cost of $19 part from Supercheap.

If not, ill chalk it up to experience and wear the $100++ cost...

Thanks for the replies

ummm, exactly happened to my R33 antenna.. ALL you have to do is go down to your local JB Hi-Fi and look for any universal electronic antenna should be around the $80 mark. this should fit fine.. it is quite easy to install.. unbolt to old one and bolt the new one in place!..

Sounds like a good idea. What about the cable that runs from the antenna to the radio? Do I have to run a new cable as well, or does it unplug from the motorised antenna end and plug into the new antenna?

This looks like the best plan so far.

Fixed it today. Cost a grand total of $26 in parts from SuperCheap Autos. The "AEPRO universal replacement mast and rope" model number AP12 worked perfectly. Lucky too because it was the only place i could find replacement masts and it was one of the only models they stock.

Bargain!

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
