1.) where can i get a power antenna mast for our car? (89 SE) I went to Pepboys & Autozone, they do not carry them. I did not find any in Ebay either.

2.) I'm doing my own ground wires...what kind of wires do you recommend?

 

1) dealer, 35 bucks / or internetautomart if hes got them

2) i like silver ones























































2) kidding ask matt93se

 

Advance Auto has one that looks exactly like ours...the wire dear looks identical.

 

Silver is duoable. but i need something flexible....

 

you mean the antenna mast???

 

Hi,

if you get the power antenna mast at the dealer,

they will won't you for $50

 

...First clean the existing ones...

Copper, the more thin wires it has, the better. "The thicker u can do, the better" (veeery thick are ugly and too stiff).

Any place where theres vibration between parts, make a loop.

If u want perfect connectors, solder some after crimping. Tin (if possible) on the connetor shoe side as ting hardens the wire (suspect to break Under vibration). Seal: Rubbertape on.

$50!!! the're nuts! i'm heading to the junkyard today.

 

Good luck with that. I don't think I have ever seen an intact antenna at a junkyard.

Just fork over the money and buy a new one.

 

Found one! Came off of a 91.

 

got mine online from http://www.courtesy-nissan.com/ for $35 last year

 

You got lucky. I didn't see that you are from Cali. The odds are probably a lot better there. Good work.

 

Thanks!...i agree with you that i got lucky in finding this....there are only 4 maximas in there and i found this on the third car i looked at...
