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 !

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
