Hi every1,

Im having issues with weak radio reception in my r34.

Done some research and found this thread - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/250936-weak-radio-signal/

Just wanted to clarify, on my stock harness I have a blue cable with 'Ant control" on it, that isnt connected to anything.

Is this the wire which I should be soldering in to an antenna wire on the back of my head unit (Im pretty sure there was one).

Just dont want to screw anything up and plan on giving it a go tomorrow.

Have taken a picture of the harness so u can see the wire im talking about.

Thanks heaps in advance.

yes follow the instructions and you be right

but note

GTT and R34 in general have horrible radio reception,

tint affects it- some are ceramic, or metallized

landscape does, hills. mtns, builidngs

mutipath in citys does, reflection off metal objects causes mutiple paths of signal to hit the receiver causing drop outs

nissans horrble idea of diversity antennnas in the glass , not a good ground plane

most of the time the hack who installs the jap to oz signal box cuts the wires and tapes them up. not buying the right jack to interface it. thats the first place to check radio reception issues on JDM cars- NISSAN for sure

and if your still having issues check behind the c pillar sail panels in the rear , sometime the antenna wires into the rear glass are unplugged ? or cut

and now with DAB broadcasts you need a better antenna then factory . I use a amplified shark fin(smaller then you pinky finger long). tiny one for DAB tv and radio, works a treat and not horrble looking like some fins

hope that helps before you rip your hair out

Hi guys,

Apologies for the thread revival.

I have installed a Blaupunkt New York 800 in my R34.

I've used an aeropro (from Repco) ISO to Nissan adaptor.

Anyway... the blue wire (ant control) as shown on the OPs pic - where do I actually connect this to on this particular HU?

On a slightly unrelated question - is there some sort of auto dim function (wire) for the HU when I turn on the headlights? As I find the HU way too bright during the night and am forced to manually dim the unit via software settings.

the link to the thread from OP mentions having an adaptor to the antenna and an extra single pin plug. I currently have this adaptor from JB hifi

the original connection goes into the right side female end, and the red plug goes into the antenna hole in my head unit. What do i put into the remaining end?

My reception is dodgy and scatty :(

Recently replaced the windscreen in R34 GTT 4 door and now my radio reception pretty poor.

I believe the aerial is in the windscreen but my new screen does not have one apparently.

what is the best solution?

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
