Any car audio shop should sell them eh! We have them at work for NZ$15

You can cut it and add the 'normal' end on, but you will notice there are two aerial wires going into the nissan aerial plug. You need to select the correct one. Its usually the wire with a small bit of rubber around it right at the base of the plug. If ya have a look you will see what I mean! :cheers:

Also if you dont join it correctly, you will lose all reception.

For those who don't live around the corner from Chris the easiest adapter to find is the Aerpro AP348A which is available anywhere they sell Aerpro products.

Also, for the R32, not sure if R33/34s are the same. If your not using a Nissan adapter to wire the power and speakers for the new headunit, make sure you connect the power-antenna output (usually the blue wire) to the black/red wire in the centre pin of the factory headunit plug. This powers the factory antenna signal booster.

There is another black/red wire next to it but it's a speaker wire.

booster,

I'll ship these things via mail order so its not a problem

same goes for the early nissan harness adapters. (I'm a Aeropro dealer..)

good point in the antenna amp. I have found a LOT of people miss this one. FM works partially but AM won't.

yes that is right most audio place do sell the adaptor cause nissan maximas have the same set up .. but i must stress one think if you get you windows tinted make sure that you get non matalic film on rear screen because your fm antenna is in the rear screen .. and i tint cars for a living

so if i have a japanese kenwood head unit that only picks up fm to 90.0 and am radio this type of adapter will let me pick up fm radio??? and will it be on the normal channels on there?? like say b105 will be on 105.3?? bcoz i heard they are set up to get u the station but ten numbers down the line so b105 will be 90.5?? but this couldnt be right hey??

my headnuit isnt a stock nissan 1, its an aftermarket japanese kenwood head unit, reasonably new aswell. just that it cant pick up any radio stations after 90.0 on fm frequency. the only thing i can lsten to is jjj and it sucks ass, or am radio. will this converter fix my problem or should i just get a new head unit that is australian spec??

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
