Look in the for sale section. There is always some one wrecking an R33. They don't normally advertise the antenna as not many people buy it, so just PM them to see if they have it. Thats what I did and scored one for $20. And don't worry about series I or series II either. They are both the same. :worship:

Ah sweet, I'll have to keep an eye on the for sale forum now. Thanks for your help again! I'll probably head down to clark rubber and see if I can get anything for a temporary fix in the mean time.

Well my temporary fix has turned out to be a permanent fix! Got some rubber o-rings from both clark rubber and bunnings, the one from clark rubber stopped the antenna falling out... but only 1 section would be raised. Tried out the o-ring I got from bunnings and it works perfectly. Stops the last section of the antenna from coming out, so it can be half or fully extended with no problems. Total cost to fix, $2! Gotta be happy with that :closedeyes:

Hey Big Col, that sounds interesting to try. Would you know what the rubber sizes are or what the product name and type or picture of what it is?

Can't remember what size rubber o-ring I used as it was ages ago, but the product name is "Bulk Pack O-Rings Pack of 225"... here's a pretty picture of it :D

I think it might have been the ones in the section 2nd up from the bottom on the right-hand side. BTW the antenna is still going strong, haven't had any problems after doing this so it's a good cheap fix.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
