Ok, as the description says, my aerial wont go down when either playing cd or radio.

The only time it actually does go down is when the head unit is completly switched off.

At the moment i am having to resort to playing no music because i really hate that long thing hanging off the top of my car, looks real bad.

The problem seemed to arise when i was getting my new head unit installed.

Before the installation, it all worked fine, aerial only came up when listening to the radio.

Real great job those so called "professionals" at JB HI-Fi did.

Ok im blabbing on now. My question to you is "Is there any way i myself could just remove the connection to the aerial so it stays down permanently or is this a job for a professional".

Keep in mind my car is a '93 R33 GTS25 Series 1 Skyline.

how about you tell me what radio is/was in the car. unsure what redback (JBHIFI contracted company for fitting) has done.

Well i used to have a crappy kenwood cd unit (not mp3), then changed it to a pioneer mp3.

and there lies your probelm. pioneer DOES NOT have a dedicated antenna control KENWOOD DOES! so the radio comes on antenna goes up and stays up. wnat it back the way you had it grab a KDC239 and you are done.

so there's no way to make it work properly with a pioneer? even the higher end pioneers?

Is there anyway i can just detach the aerial and still have the mp3 playing properlly.

i have the opposite problem....my antenna wont go up even with the old head unit that was in the car, i have a switch underneath the dash that is for the antenna but it doesnt seem to work at all....does anyone have the schematics of the fuse box for th r33 gtst in english, maybe its a fuse? please help as i want my reception for radio to be 100% i am getting about 60% with it down.

Hi guys, SNAP.......kinda, everytime i turn the key on my fishing rod of an antenna pops up. Ive stoped it from goingh up and down, YEAH, but now my amp and sub arnt working. Does anyone know what could be happening. The only wire i have attached to the amp or antenna is the remote wire to the amp.

Any help would be great, thanks guys...

Evan

antenna doesnt have a fuse, pull out your head unit and MAKE sure the power antenna wire is properly connexted.

as for the sub + amp prob.

i dont understand....their not working properly because you have ONLY connected the controll wire to the amp, do you have power + ground + RCA leads going to it?

please be a bit clearer and ill try to understand.

I was wiring that miscellaneous slot on the factory connector to a miscellaneous wire on my new cd player (was trying to get the radio working)

and now my Antenna doesn't go up and the cd player doesn't work, but the factory player still works, what could be the problem?

Thanks

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
