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!!!!!! :) )

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

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
