Screw on base for antenna

Does anyone know where I can get a screw on base for my new antenna that I got. I notice the stubbys are a screw on so I need to replace the base of the antenna also. Was the install pretty difficult for anyone who has done this?

Just buy a universal whip from the autoparts store...save the rubber off the rod and reel mast..assemble it on the quarter. You will probably want to buy a regular antenna extension cable of 15ft or so depending on length of one that comes with antenna since Nissan uses the funky two prong style connector. Easy to replace the cable then use adapters on each end. I did this to my 95. The one I bought is sort of offset so it sticks out to the side a bit..you will find something you can use to accomodate the curve of the quarter panel.

i have been looking into this myself and i think i have found that if you get a altima antenna it will work. there is a guy at work that has a 99 and i have been looking at it and it looks like they would change over
