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.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
