R33 Antenna Motor

My antenna seems to have stopped working.. when the stereo goes on the motor engages for about a second and the antenna moves up slightly. when i turn the stereo off it engages for half a second the other way and it moves in slightly. but no more.

I pulled the assembly apart and everything moves smoothly inside. running just the control PCB and the motor free-spinning, it does the same thing. so it looks like a control board issue.

any ideas? or am I stuck paying for a whole new one because one 5c component has shit itself?

ahh it's not worth the hassle.. just gonna call nissan and see if they've got a new one

my latent urge to void warranties by pulling things apart has been satisfied. unfortunately nothing appears to have let the smoke out, leaving me mildly annoyed that it has decided to stop working.

Geoff! That's crazy dude!

I'll look up FAST for ya.. if the part number is the same, I guess you can whack a series 1 antenna in?

I bought something recently from "slighten" in the FS section. He's parting out an entire R33 and was quite helpful (and reasonably priced!)

Hit him up, perhaps?

      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.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
