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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
