Buckley Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 ive only had my Azure 350z roadster for about 6 weeks and fell out with the large aerial already had a quick check on eBay and found this, which i subsequently bought http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT it came on Saturday and after a wash i decided to fit it, but the aerial doesnt fit flush to the black plastic and as soon as you remove your hand from screwing it on you lose reception/signal ive emailed the bloke who i got it off and said hed send a replacement or give me my money back - but im reluctant to get another in case that doesnt work either - whats the chance id just been given a duff one and the next would be OK? would anyone reccommend a similar aerial that would work (im thinking of a shop now as eBay seems to be full of junk!)? another thought ive had is to cut the original one ive got down - would it work or just bugger it up!? thanks - any advice or tips on which to get would be good also after some number plates too, as the ones i have still have the garages names on them which is annoying me - doubtful of goin to eBay for em but its the cheapest place - wonder if halfords do any good ones? thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 The roadsters are the same as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilli Red Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 The roadsters are the same as far as I know. Yes all the same. Some do fit more flush than others I will say, but this one is the best as already said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choptop Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Stay with the original if you want good reception Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckley Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 What would happen if I trimmed my original one down, it's like the stubby but with a thin carbon fibre bit on Tempted to try it! If it messes up I'll have to buy an S2000 one I suppose Anyone tried cuttin one before!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it messes up I'll have to buy an S2000 one I suppose Anyone tried cuttin one before!? Yup did it to mine, The reception isnt too bad in my area but do notice it does drop and crackle in certain harder reception areas but thats expected when your cutting it down. Oh and as for how much i cut off, All of it down to the rubber, i was going to leave two inch at the top and recap the end with the original end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted it for show but it's gotta have some use too, otherwise it's like a doughnut with no jam in when you bit it!!! S2000 antenna. Little bit big at the bottom but hardly noticable. Reception quality is not different between OEM Nissan and this one I've found. Pic whore opportunity too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter10 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Funny I came across the thread. I bought the exact same aerial as the OP and again I lost all reception. I think it is just too small to pick anything up. if the aerial was on top of the roof, I think it would be fine. I think I might just give up with getting a stubby aerial as I have a feeling I will end up getting bad signal all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I bought this one and it's small, but works as you'd expect. It does not quite fit flush by about 1mm. Otherwise great fit... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0280953434 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
