Replacing The Antenna Wire

I have a R33 and the antenna wire that goes to the rear mast was cut. Anyone know where I can get a replacement or repair parts to splice it back together? I'm located in the US so I couldn't go to the local audio shop to get a replacement since we use a different style of ends. In the past, I've tried soldering it back together but it never sounds the same.

Its just coaxial as far as I know. Find a place that does television antenna cables and talk to someone about a joiner

The end that goes into the back of the head unit over here is available from automotive electrical shops but seen as you said things are different over there not so sure.

Technically it should be japanese wiring anyway

After calling around and going to a few different places, I've figured that I'll just run a powered antenna that some of the audio shops have. They're like $40 for something decent. Just wondering if you or anyone else might seen a website that has repair kits for these things. I googled it and came up with all kinds of results that got me nowhere. It's cut at a foots length before the rear mast. Guess the guys at the body shop felt it was easier to cut it than to unplug it from the mast. Just one more thing to spend unnecessary money on. I'd prefer to fix it cause I like keeping things like that oem. Thanks for the input.

I told you, it should be coaxial. As long as there is a little bit of cable still hanging out of the antenna you should be able to use a joiner like this and a bit of extra coax to fix it

That's exactly what I was looking for. Problem I was having is all the coax repair kits that I found are for 1/2" diameter. Plus I didn't even think to look on the Australian eBay. Thanks !

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
