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.

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....

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

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
