Antenna choice on 95 base?? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

AenjukuCar · 06-12-2005, 09:06 PM

I'm looking at getting a new antenna this week, because, right now i have some shitty reception in my car, i have currently a cheapo one from advanced, i was just wondering what all of you are running on your 240sx's??

BTW: It's a 95 base model....so no power antenna.

***S14DB*** · 06-12-2005, 09:16 PM

I got this at advance:

it works well. The previous owner broke the power one an put a CB whip style one on it. I was to cheap to get another power one. Works good But I have Sirus now so don't care really.

frozencoconutz · 06-12-2005, 09:33 PM

my power antenna is not working right either on my s14 i just unplugged the power to it. i was thinking about getting a hidden antenna from ebay, (like what hot rod guys use) im just too lazy to do it. but from what ive heard, you can get really good reception with it, and its worth a try cuz you can get one for 20 bucks.

m0rex · 06-12-2005, 09:41 PM

Antennas look fuggly on s14s. I think im gonna shave mine off after seeing S14DB's i cant find anything that looks good.

***S14DB*** · 06-12-2005, 09:44 PM

I may just pull it and plug it or get another power unit in black.

m0rex · 06-12-2005, 09:54 PM

Just get xm radio and take the antenna off.

*revat619* · 06-12-2005, 11:51 PM

I have a 350z antenna. Relatively short and not too bulky. I think its pretty cool.

m0rex · 06-12-2005, 11:53 PM

Time for a midnight trip to my local dealer.

240trainee · 06-13-2005, 07:26 AM

I'm shaving the antenna, and then getting a powered one that goes at the top of the windshield. hehehehe. I've got a link the the antenna somewhere......

justinhustle · 06-13-2005, 09:20 AM

i shaved mine and got a wire one from autoloc for the rear windshield

infinitexsound · 06-13-2005, 10:35 AM

no atenna here it snapped some how , so i just pulled the mas and left it like that........... i still have good reception from radio stations... and now i dont have a long ass attenna sticking out..

SilviaDriver · 06-13-2005, 02:23 PM

for the poeple with shaved antennas where do you get your other ones?

NI_YON_Zenki · 06-13-2005, 04:13 PM

Why not just go thru logan via Aspec Products, or Jay thru bamboo garage (aka: Panda Garage) lol. Gots tah eat!, anyways they provide the best selection(s) of parts aftermarket and OEM, if one doesn't have it, the other looks out for it & gets it to you. .. .Shots out to all my peoples. Stay Up.

A Spec Products · 06-13-2005, 04:29 PM

^ look at the skipper puttin in work, mad respekt! thanks for the support.

anyway obviously antennas aren't our main focus but here's what we got:

I had one of these on my S14 and it worked great...gonna get one for my S13 now....Damn! I just checked out the price on ebay and its gone up like 9.00 since I bought mine. I remember reading somewhere that you could order it from his website for cheaper

sw20>>s14 · 06-13-2005, 05:39 PM

shaved mine and just tossed the antenna in my trunk...havent worried about it ever since...youd be surprised at how fuggin' clean it looks now...

Blues13 · 06-13-2005, 05:50 PM

I have one of those powered windshield antenna's for my S13.. I like it in that there's no more ugly antenna sticking out. Definitely the way to go if you don't like antennas. However, I don't think reception is great.. just average. Amplified/powered one just mean amplified signal AND noise. How do all your other antennas fair as far as reception?

I did the same when I shaved that stupid antenna hole. Reception w/ the radio is still the same w/ the base in the trunk...that and I rarely use the radio.

AenjukuCar · 06-13-2005, 07:25 PM

i just figured i'd ask, cause i know some other people on the spec v's where running the S2000 antenna.

TurDz · 06-13-2005, 08:46 PM

I have a 350Z Amplified antenna, also made by LoCustoms I think. They stopped selling them though.
