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.

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...

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

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
