My stagea has a japanese minidisc player with a small fm band which wouldnt get most fequencys that we have in melb so i bought a fequency converter from import driver and installed it. It fixed that problem but my aerial doesnt pick up the channels that well. Has a fair bit of interference and to be honest it pisses me off. I think my aerial is on my front windscreen like a sticker. Anyone else have the same problems with theirs and any suggestions on what i can do about improving my radio reception

make sure your antenna amplifier is wired up to 12V radio signal, wire is attached to coax at back of head unit, also get rid of band expander and install an oz tuner for better reception. Band expanders arent a good permanent solution.

My antennas are in my back side windows, I have wiper heaters on my front screen that look like antennas, maybe yours could be different ?

Thinking of putting in my pioneer stez from my old car. Will i still need a oz tuner, if so where can i buy. yeah i think that could be a wiper heater ill post up a pick 2moz. This i probably a dumb question but why do u need a wiper heater and what function does it do

Its for cold countrys ( like were im from ) helps unstick your wipers when it hits sub 0 temps and they get frozen to the window, so you can remove snow from the windshield.

I would love set on my stag!!

It will also heat your side mirrors, if the jap convex ones werent swapped at compliance, switch is below right of steering wheel.

Is this an aerial or wiper heater?

its an aerial, but probably not genuine, maybe for an aftermarket TV / GPS, trace it and see where it connects to. do you have them in your back side windows ?

yeah i do have what looks like an aerial on both sides of back windows and there is no wire that goes anywhere from the front window so i cant trace where it goes. Its just a sticker

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
