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!

    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
    • Thanks guys - I have been overseas for a hectic many weeks , so haven't had time to chase any of these up.  Some of the suggestions are for 4.1 ratio, which I already have, and a 3.5 at Lonsdale, which is also too tall.  Really looking for 3.9 or even a 3.7 LSD, either with M12 bolts. Will look some more.
