Ok, DON"T USE WD40!!!!!

WD40 is a silicone spray, it will insulate the individual parts of the aerial from each other and your aerial wont work properly anymore!

What you need to do is use Electrical Contact Cleaner (available at Jaycar, DSE, etc) to clean anything (including the WD40 you just put on) off.

Then use some sort of petroleum-based jelly (Vaseline) on it. KY wouldn't work, it's water-based... :)

the carbon-type cleaner and graphite stuff are good çoz they weigh less and won't deminish your power-to-weight ratio!

and the petrolium jelly will make your car more areodanamic and go faster!

Put it all on... that's all the mods you need!

for those of you that think I'm a retard... I'm special OK, SPECIAL!

and yes... I'm just being a tool!

Did the AP12 fit your factory antenna?? Aerpro have a specific listing for Nissan's (AP252).

The AP12 is meant to fit the antennas manufactured by Aerpro, not any OEM vehicles (except Ford & Hondas... the Aerpro ones are OEM...)

Oh, what series R33 do you have?

The guy at autobarn told me that it would be really difficult to find a mast for an import skyline, so i just went with a generic kind of mast and tried it out.

The mast fit fine - the little ball on the top sticks out about 5mm higher. My car is a '95 series 1 front, but as i understand it is right at the changeover to series 2. It shouldn't matter though. The hardest thing is getting the antenna locking ring off if you don't have the 2 pronged thingy (!), and when you open up the mechanism everything flies out.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      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.
