Well this a very simple and easy, but it thought why not post up a DIY on it just in case you've never done it before.

Ok here's the wiper blades i use....

Step 1

Remove the old blades by pushing these metal 'clips' and pull the old blades down and off.

Step 2

Now slide the new blades on....using the gooves in the new blades to run through all the clips of the wiper

Step 3

OK with the new blades on, you'll now have alot of over hanging blades....

Out come the pliers or old scissors (not the good scissors!!!!!! :) )

And cut away.....

Job Done 8)

Now off to the dyno for the re-tune.

(this was done on my WRX :) )

Also just a quick tip, for having a really clean outside window, use a little Meguiars clay bar on the windscreen, it cleans it up awesome!!

they come in either 6mm or 8mm. buy the correct one. the aunger ones are both 6 and 8mm, so they should fit anything.

Be careful using those plastic cut it yourself ones. they might slip off. if that happens, your window will get scratched.

Best stick with the metal insert ones.

I would suggest staying away from the wipers you get from Big W etc etc

Get the blades with the metal inserts, they are much quieter and wipe much more better.

I have wasted my time on crappy wipers which have annoyed the hell out of me. Spent $23 on genuine Nissan wipers and will never look back.

Quiet, smooth and wipes everything off in one swipe. hahah

As I said above, quieter and better wiping isn't the main problem. If the non metal one slips out, the arm will scratch the window.

I have this nasty scratch on my daily driver's windscreen. Mum must have driven with a broken blade for like 5 years or something.

BTW, You don' ahve to spend 23$ ffor genuine nissan ones. Nissan don't make wiper blades. Bosch - avaialble at supercheap auto make metal insert ones. Just get the right length ones.

  • 3 months later...
  • 1 year later...

So, as the links don't work.

Please show me lead me to where to get some new blades.

I've got 3 10+ year old cars that have never had them changed. I can't see in the rain.

Let me know and recommend.

Also, will i just be able to buy the same ones and fit on all the cars?

Anybody help me lol. I don't care about stickers lol.

Most auto stores stock them. Super Cheap have the Aunger and Bosch refills, both of which i have tried and recommend.

Make sure you measure the longest wiper so that you get the right sized refills,

and choose the brand that comes with a free sticker............. :P

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
