Was driving home today from echuca and was playing around with...the car and twisted the end of the wiper handle/switch/arm thing. i noticed it when i first bought the car but forgot to ask....

Its a twisting knob, with 3 settings, on the end of the wiper handle and it has a little gap next to it that indicates the amount of whatever it is.

I have 2 guesses at what it is:

1. Regulates the amount of water from the washers

2. Sets how far the wipers sit under the bonnet.

Anyone know for sure what it does ?

ahhh excellent. I was reading in my manual that there is a switch that you can flick to make the wipers stop higher. I think it is snow mode or something.

Gonna test out the intermittent mode. wooooo

konect... is one of your reverse lights red as well? or do you have any rear facing red foglights? Most "snow area" cars in japan have em. Surprised your A31 isn't AWD... most of the GTS4's come from snow areas and a lot of AWD ceffies too.

i didnt mean snow mode as in traction control or anything. Just remember reading that the switch I was talking about on the wipers is meant to let them sit higher so you can put them up in the snow.

not sure if my car has it :D its in the garage and I cbf going to check.

Also in other news I bought some late model taillights. wooooooooooooo!

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
