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.

      Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3

      It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.

      no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
