R33 Arial

[Cam84]

Just a quick one.

My arial doesn't work, i have found the switch behind the dash so it's still there, my guess is it's been disconnected. anyone know which fuse is the arial or have any ideas how to get it working again?

Cheers

Hey i know every wire colour and where they goto on it as well as how to hotwire the arial to check the motor, im not home at the moment but if you still need help i'll get my wiring drawings together when i get home and let you know, usualy it will be the green/red wire which connects to the headunit and is the remote power wire like on an amp ..

The aerial on my r33 doesnt work properly either, it is stuck down and doesnt come up. I still get a (crappy) radio signal and the signal strength improves vastly when something is attached to the aerial, ie: if I grab the aerial the radio signal comes good so I think its plugged into the headunit. Is there also another plug that I have to put in my headunit so the aerial motor works? Or will I need a new aerial motor to fix it.

Hi, First post here.

My daughter has bought a R33 GTS25 non turbo for her first car.

What I'm trying to do at present is get the ariel to work so all help appreciated.

Looks like a pretty bodged install.

There is this weird antena plug that plugs into a adapter cable to fit to a sony headunit.

This adapter cable has a grey wire also coming off it which was plugged into a non factory looking

pink wire but didn't make contact as connections incompatable with each other.

I have made connection with them but the antena still doesn't work.

Also the headunit doesn't keep memory, it has a yellow large wire being the main which is connected to

a wire that gives power when at accessiors, the HU red wire is connected to a wire that seems

to have continious power.

I'm thinking maybe this continious power wire may be time active (Turn off after set time of ignition being turned off)

if possible could someone past on a list of what each wire is for so I can sort it.

Hmm, if you're still having drama with it, I might be able to take some photos next weekend; I wanna clean up the back of my headunit anyway. The best thing to do however is to not bother with the harnesses etc and just splice and solder; makes a much better connection, but your mileage may vary.

I'll have to dig around to figure out which wires go where, but I'll take photos? Would that help? If you were down my way I'd take a look at it; easier for me to do than explain.

Let me know if you want me to rip/take pix.
