4RE Leather Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Was trying to upgrade to S2K aerial to get rid off the zed's fishing rod. Is it just me or is it too wide where it joins the car? Too me, it doesn't look like it belongs! It was described as genuine S2k and it certainly looks the same having previously owned one. Maybe they are meant to look this way but if so i may return and go for an aftermarkey jobby. Wow what a shocker. You may be better unscrewing the bottom of the ariel as you have a base on a base there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RE Leather Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I am going to put the original back as the carbon stubby I got really has bad reception problems from top of Reigate Hill all the way to Oxshot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Barry that one looks good as. Nice n' tidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryrob78 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 cut down OEM looks pretty good and reception is fine? id wondered about doing that as dont want to buy a stuby that is of @*!# quality Yes reception is as before. Makes you wonder why Nissan didn't do this in the first place.... Don't get an S2k one. lol Cheers amt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watshot Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 My Honda stubby is nothing like as bad as that, which is why it tends to be the stubby of choice on this forum. Oem looks and quality for those that don't want something that looks like it has come from Halfords or ebay (or Nissan), and doesn't have any performance issues. The one in the op's picture doesn't look right at all, maybe a copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is designed to fit flush with the hole hence its bell shaped bottom. I think you might find that this does unscrew then put the stem directly into your base.

4RE Leather Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Incidently, The carbon one I got of ebay was a cheapy. Well under £10. I am not the greatest authority on radio waves but I am led to understand that its not the length of the ariel but the anteni inside. Obviously the stubby has a coiled one. The way to test is on talksport as that broadcasts on the same frequency over most of the country without a need to retune. When i go to Abbey I cant get jack squit on any channel. And thats from the Coulsdon Roundabout of M25 all the way to Abbey and back. I did get it with the OEM, so if anyone does go to Abbey and get good sounds, could you send a picture of the ariel and where you got it please!

4RE Leather Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Very good:) I put the OEM one back on and it works fine at reigate hill. It was obviously a cheapy that l bought so well annoyed. Tempted to use a hacksaw or maybe a coat hanger:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
