barryrob78 Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 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. Quote
Dblock Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Most s2k ariels look like that. The c2 aerial is MUCH better. Quote
Exotic Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I've always liked and preferred the standard aerial Quote
barryrob78 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Posted May 1, 2012 Yeh works ok, no reception issues. Might return and look for something else tbh. Not the smooth look i thought. Quote
barryrob78 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Posted May 1, 2012 Think i prefer this... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350Z-Z ... 53e8d70cd2 Same company i got the S2K one from. Quote

AMT Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I'm interested in this, as it will be my first mod... and i want a decent one. I've seen a few with that ebay link. Anyone know if its good reception?? Also in general, even the S2K stubby, what does it come with? and by that i mean has the aerial got the 'male' part and is it a decent size... ( aw the jokes could be horrendous) eg. I went through 2 or 3 aerials off ebay. Ones came with tiny screw 'male' parts so it wasn't secure enough on the aerial housing....and the one i eventually kept.. had a 'female' part the same as the car!! So in the end I took a bit of rod, cut it down to size, so it fitted perfectly into the aerial housing and the aerial screwed into it a perfect, tight fit. It looks a bit worse for ware now as its been on for a bit, but its a brilliant little thing, perfect signal and despite looking big in the pic its about the size of my middle finger. Solid metal item. I'd be looking for sumthin similar for the Zed, but we'll see. that S2K one looks horrendous. The ebay link one looks like a nice fit. Quote

Do what i've just done mate...take a hack saw to the oem one. Remove the thin part and your left with a stubby aerial...free of charge and you still get reception. I'll be sending the S2Kone back and would not recommend. Cheers. Quote
AMT Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Nice! lol Although I've just clocked 'rothers' carbonfibre lookin' jobby... looks good. Howz the reception on that? And how much was it. easy fit? Quote
coldel Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I got an ebay jobby like rothers, black and carbon, note that there is a hole slightly visible on the base with this one but all i did was get a little black rubber band and put it round the base of the aerial - looks perfectly fine! Quote

Jenkiano Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Think i prefer this... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350Z-Z ... 53e8d70cd2 Same company i got the S2K one from. This is the stubby I've got. Perfect fit (no overhang at base like with S2k aerial) and absolutely no issues with reception. AMT250 re your fitment issues this is a straight replacement, no pratting about fashioning a suitable 5mm male fitment, unscrew OEM and screw this one in its place. Job Done. Quote
spawn Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Wow what a shocker. That would stay on the car long!! Not!.. Surely someone would have it away! Quote

Sorry had uploaded it but was away from the laptop. Think i'll still go for the one in the link i posted but this will do in the interm. All it really needs is a rounder top. It felt like sacrilege sawing it and i'm not a massive modifier but i think it looks better than the original Quote
Dblock Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I got an ebay jobby like rothers The Scots might find that funny Quote
rich-350 Posted May 2, 2012 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 Quote
spursmaddave Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 I got an ebay jobby like rothers The Scots might find that funny I certainly wont be bidding Quote
Clown Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Think i prefer this... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350Z-Z ... 53e8d70cd2 Same company i got the S2K one from. I ordered this at 7pm last night. It got delivered today. I don't even know how this happened! Quote
