I have replaced the mast in the R33 antenna before. Its very easy and can be done in less than 45minutes and costs about $25 in parts.

I think it is possible to do without removing the unit from the car.

If it is the motorised part of the unit that is broken its more expensive (around $100 for a universal replacement unit that fits into the Skyline).

just took mine out for the respray, ummm pretty sure from memory you just undo like 3 bolts!took a bit of force to push the antenna through with twisting, only one problem with it up you wont be able to get it out from behind the jack mount!!! (with the antenna fully extended)

got a spare one here if you cant fix it, we are a bit far apart though!

Just take it apart and feed it down as far as it goes, to the closed position. Then take out ur head deck and disconnect the power antenna wire. The buy a booster and connect it into ut antenna plug. Then u will have excellent reception and no gay stickin up antenna!

How much is a booster ? that sounds good :P my antenna is stuffed but isnt stuffed if that makes sense, theres like part of it that will not come off, so looks like im gonna take the whole thing out. Anyone know fully how to do this, is it just the bolts as craved stated ? i will force the bloody thing down or chop it off if it is being stubborn hehe, thanks ppls

Hi,

I need to know how you remove the antenna so I can put a new mast on, the other one broke. So could you please tell me how to actually get the antenna out?

Thanks

ok get a pair of tin snips and cut under the first segment and the last. Remove the tongue. get sellys no more gaps and glue the top to the base/motor. undoe the antenna wire and forget out shitty antenna. I did and havent had a water leak or anything wrong.

Never use the radio anyway. and if I do it's only int he city with reception anyway.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
