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.

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.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
