Forgot to flick the half lower switch and SNAP! great.

Thanks garage door.

Now i have some long bit of plastic cord with teeth hanging out of my aerial hole, dangeling down the side of my r33. :P

did a search on this and the results wernt very helpful.

How much am i looking at for a new aerial installed and were on earth am i gonna find one, this must have happened to someone else. I live in Sydney around the Northen Beaches so if any 1 knows a place around there that can sort this out. Would be GREAT!

may sound like a small problem but it hell frustrating! thanks guys :P

this the aerial for the radio?

If so... mine was farked when I got mine...

If the telescopic bit is still fairly straight u can fix it urself...

takes about 1/2 hour... go into the trunk, on the left side... unbolt the motor that works

the aerial in and out... and have teh aerial itself...disconnect the power, piping etc.

take it all apart and start to piece it all back together... its fairly straight forward and

common sense to see which goes where... the hardest part is winding all the "plastic bit

with teeth" back in - as that tends to to spring back out.. just need to hold stuff down

firmly and work backwards... once ur done, screw everything backtogether and reinstall

it... another idea is to regrease it while ur in there...

hope this helps.

-Eug

P.S - If its completely busted... try someone who has written off their skyline.

Half lower switch? u got that on your R33? where's the button? I have one button in my dash but i think it's for the parking pole at corner of front bumper which dun work, not for the electric antenna...

Hey dude

I did exactly the same thing about 6mths ago - Get yourself an aerpro replacement mast from autobarn/repco/something like that i think i paid $22!

I'll see if I can get the exact model for ya - U can always just turn your radio on and let it wind out and pull it all out so it doesnt hang out!

MODEL: AP12

parking pole?

Yes, parking pole or parking antenna. Dunno what they call.

It's the pole thing on the passenger side of front bar corner, useful for those car owners in japan who can't judge distance when doing paralel parking.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
