testing would be good. i will also have a look at my ariel connections but i used foil and tape to seperate the core and the netting.

Did you run power to the antenna? If you did not your antenna are not powered as they are designed to be. The standard set up only runs power to the antenna when the TV is selected. When you select the AUX input it turns the antenna power off.

ok so i realised i didnt understand what andy was saying with the power so i spent the afternoon pulling apart my boot again and running seperate power supply cables to the 2 factory clarion antenna boxes. This works a treat now so when the DVB-T unit is powered up so is the ariels. I also found out the when the Tv board is out of the Gold Casing that it works 100% better (Found this out due to testing when i had to solder the antenna IN back onto the board, totally my doing. IE- dont over tight the ring nuts on these sockets) So i just used double sided tape and put it on the inside of the rear quarterpanel near the original unit.

Commsman- Thank you for all your help with this install. Your information has been spot on and i thank you for that. Also do worry about sending the other unit for testing as i feel confident that i have got it to work as its ment to this time.

Newb question.

Is one of these the TV tuner?

I know one of them is the ECU :D

None of those. You are looking in the wrong end of the car.

TV tuner is behind the rear left panel in the boot. Just in front of the little storage box.

May I ask what aerials you guys are using for your digital TV's.... Ive got a digital tuner built into my head unit but the aerial its supplied with is a passive (un powered) jobby that doesnt really get very good reception while in motion or anything.

Any of the M35 Stagea's are using the Factory aerials in the back windows (4 in total) as they are powered and very effective.

The new Digital HD tV tuner from Leon come with a pair of powered aerials. See if you can persuade to sell you a pair of unused ones.

Hi Chris. The ones that come with these new tuners have F-type connectors & a wire for 12V to amplify the signal. They seem to work well.

Anyone with a Stagea who bought a tuner recently from me/Andy/Brad should have the aerials spare. If you can't find anyone nearby, I should have at least one spare pair which you can have if you pay post & packing (say $15) if that will help.

Cheers, Leon.

It seems that they work best with maximum separation. Since these are almost always used in non Stagea cars (V35's etc), most people stick one behind the passenger sun visor & the other on the back windscreen on drivers' side.

In your case you may want to try behind passenger visor and maybe run the other to the drivers side fixed window at the back (probably not the tailgate :glare: ). With dark tinting they would be hard to see from outside.

They have a sticky surface to hold them to glass which appears to be OK. No one has told me they had any problems. There is adhesive you can get if they lose their 'sticky' I suppose.

Want to pm me your bank details?

the connection in the back of my head unit only takes one antenna.... :S What would you suggest?

Could you put up a picture of the plug with a 5c piece for size comparison too :-)

I would suggest that one antenna won't pick up a TV signal very well, LOL

The connectors are F-type (you can google that) which means they have a screw in fitting. About the only other connector you commonly see is PAL (std TV type). There are adaptors to go from one to the other (I have some) but then space can become an issue behind the unit. Maybe a right angle adaptor could work tho....

Do you have a spare AV input (RCA connectors)? If so, if the single aerial doesn't work you could always go for a new digital tuner plugged into a spare AUX input :whistling: .

Can you play your iPhone through this tuner via the usb input?

I doubt it will work conveniently like that (mainly designed to play files using remote & file manager style inteface). However, the AV input (with RCA connectors) will work nicely using the right lead to connect to your device. And with some thought & a few relays you could run both reverse cam & Ipod/MP3 as inputs, or maybe a DVD player, PS3 etc etc.

But please post up what you find as there's heaps of variations I've not tried nor thought thru how they could work.

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
