Hi all,,

I am trying to get my wipers off my 97 gtst ... i undid the nut under the little black rubber cap and have been trying to pull the biatch off for like 15 mins now...

I cant see it held on with any other nut or bolt.. correct me if i am wrong..

Reason I wanna remove them is to give them a fresh paint (as they are badly faded)..

Any help thanks...

yep just one nut, you will probably have to lever them off with a a screwdriver as they have probably never be off from the factory.

spray the shaft with some WD40 and let it soak in a little, the do tend to bind to the shaft

yeah man tell me about it being binded to the shaft!! i used wd40 , oil and everything else that makes shit slippery and it still wont budge!!

grrr..

Skyline - 1 ... JD - 0 :D

You just got to pull it hard :thumbsup: , i thought i was going to break my rear windscreen but it came off successfully.

lol pshht thats what i thought when i got mine, no rear wiper, i wanted one as well, when its raining hard you cant see shit through the rear windscreen,

the rear wiper is an option for series II's for some stupid reason, while series 1's had them standard,

well in a good way its less weight for the car

you suckers! stop pulling them so hard!!!

to take them off:

- undo the nut that holds them

- press down on the join in the wiper closest to the nut

.. you will find that the spring gives way and you can hold the wiper horizontal

- take the wiper off with ease :(

cheers,

Warren

I think you should continue to Pull and Yank instead of playing with your nuts.

and HOLD the wiper horizontal as you take it off...

when i did my wipers i used touch up paint in the same colour as my car

I humg them in the garage from a piece of string and laid down newspaper for any overspray.

then i gave them about 5 or 6 coats of paint... really ut that shit on there. its now been about a year and no sign of fading or cracking :D

JD_33 - trust me you will be kicking yourself when you see how easy they come off.. i only say this as i was in the same situation, swearing etc. and my dad walked outside and took them off in one second!

removing the rear wiper is easy

1/ lift up cover and undo bolt holding arm in place

2/ Put big socket on nut (23mm from memory) and use breaker bar

3/ Replace rear windscreen

Here is a pic to help explain

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
