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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
