Zee Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 The first thing i have to change on my Zed is the huge aerial resembling something from a radio controlled car! I've had a look on ebay but i dont want to buy something cheap and nasty that doesn't work very well as all the ones listed as been 350z compatible are only about 2-3 quid! Am i right in thiking the Honda S2000 Aerial fits the Zed? Is this the aerial of choice? -Matt Quote
BulletMagnet Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 It seems to be the case, personally I like the original. Quote
mbs Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 The Honda one fits and the reception is OK. Quote
Zee Posted February 11, 2009 Author Posted February 11, 2009 Looks like CS has sorted one out for me! Cheers guys Quote

Rentech Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 The Honda one fits and the reception is OK. Still got the standard one myself but seen several comments similar to this. Am I correct in reading 'OK' as 'reception not quite as good as the original'? Quote
M350ZB Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Anyone thats wants a OEM one i got one Quote
hotrain69 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 so guys, what is the verdict i'm confused, is the reception better with the original aerial or changing to the honda stubby? i have the original on still i think, and the reception is terrible. i have an alpine double din head unit fitted if that makes a difference. cheers Quote
rtbiscuit Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 i swapped to a stubby, the recption on its been fine, only the odd occassion on long drive through heavy built up area has it taken a little longer to adjust the channel its a good mod Quote
Pimm Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 One of the best and cheapest mods.. around............ Quote
M350ZB Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 One of the best and cheapest mods.. around............ +1, miles better than the flag pole (OEM) Quote
Zee Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 The reception has been fine since I swapped mine for the stubby! Quote
BulletMagnet Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 For some reason I'm looking for S2000's and Civics in Sainsbury carparks from now on, lol Quote
jamesyj Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 The Vauxhall Insignia aerial has a nice fat base (lines up spot on with oem base) and is considerably smaller, probably half the height, looks standard fit but doesn't look like you have a remote control car. Quote
mwalker56 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I'm ashamed to say it but i got one from Halfrauds and it fits a dream: Quote
hotrain69 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I'm ashamed to say it but i got one from Halfrauds and it fits a dream: looks good mate! hows the reception and which one did you go for at halfords? Quote
mwalker56 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Reception is fine, not as good as with the original 8ft antennae array, but works fine for me. It was this one: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_376731_langId_-1_categoryId_165622 Ripspeed Black Aluminium Aerial. Quote

Just get a stubby , looks so much better Quote
mwalker56 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I had amazing reception with my old aerial. New one is still v good though, just one 10 second patch of bad reception on the drive to work in the mornings! Quote
matth76 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 It seems to be the case, personally I like the original. I agree the original is pretty stubby in itself - same as the small one on most hot hatches these days. Unless there is another version that is much longer which my car didnt come with. Quote
M350ZB Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I agree the original is pretty stubby in itself No way , the OEM arielf is huge Quote
IanS16 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I'd say the s2000 stubby is about 20cm and I reckon the OEM is twice that if i remember right Quote
cfoster Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Has anyone got a direct link to the stubby aerial I should be getting (s2000 one!!) on fleabay. Seen loads on there but want to get the 'correct' one as such!! Cheers Quote
