hey guys, i just noticed today my car doesnt have an antenna as i bought a rubber one to replace the gay automatic ones that come in s13/14/15 etc.

i saw none on the r32. i looked thru other pics of the r32 in the photos section and i cant see any either.

is this standard in skylines or is the antenna hidden somewhere?

R32 antennae are integrated into the windscreen (passenger side, looks like a very thin silver line), which is why they're a lot more expensive to replace.

If you ever see one with an telescopic antenna, it means the windscreen's been replaced with a non genuine nissan one.

i put in a trip switch to make my arieal stay down when the DVD player is on... and up for the radio...

but its on full or nothing...

not that i ever listen to radio onyway

Is their a way to improve the quality/reception of the front windscreen antenna ?

I think the only way to improve the reception is to get some sort of signal booster. My radio sounds like shit at times. Always goes good, bad, good bad when I'm driving.

lol how cant you see it?

there should be a silver line running down the centre of the front windscreen.

Everyone spots it as soon as they jump in the car.

Took me a couple of days to ignore it whilst driving lol

I think Chris Rogers mentioned in another thread that the antenna changes between front and rear windscreen to get the best reception?

His car could've been in an accident and the front windscreen replaced with a 'normal' window.

There's no way you could miss it though, I agree.

after 6 years of owning various R32's now I don't even notice it... but everytime someone jumps in the passenger seat they tell me about the square crack i've got around the window and right down the middle.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
