Replace the whole assembly. Each wiper is approx 15$ from Scheap

Go the Bosch Microedge

Front driver is 500, passenger is 550 and rear w/shiled is 450

I can vouch for another Bosch wiper blade about $25 from Supercheap Auto... look unique too and hug the windscreen... No scaffolding like wiper blade... just a single sleek piece of rubber..

No rear blade for R33 Skyline though... so had to buy one to cut down to size... the metal is very strong.. have to use a decent hacksaw to cut through it.

Change mine today.. Raining in brisbane atm so a good test.

I went with Bosch AeroTwin full wiper replacements @ $22.95 a pop and they a great. 1 minute to remove old wiper assemblies and replace with the new bosch ones!!!!

Here is the link to the product

http://www.bosch.com.au/content/language1/html/5534.htm

and as stated earlier for r33 500mm for front drivers 550mm for front passanger and 450mm for rear..

great results and can feel hte extra power!

Bough some for $10 at supercheap, first wiper change in the life of the car.

Bloody worth it.

Raining in Brisbane, made it perfect to test aswell :P

ALso, had various colours available.

But just wasn't suitable for a man's car.

ok now i know where and what brand to get, but question for u guys: of course they are perfect and wipe every drop off when brand new but how long do they last (wear n tear)? how easy are they damaged eg. wiping with no water, little twigs leaves stuck?

Joking, i'll have to get some of these bosch ones some time. I can't see a thing when its raining, also i need to clean my windscreen lol.

What he said, sick blades. Work awesome. GO SUPERCHEAP

Hey guys, I am despising wipers on my skyline for the one reason, they wear out way too quick. I only use them when its raining and clean my windows regularly. After about 2-3 months, streaking occurs, and ontop of the fact if i go above ~90km/h my wipers bounce as they go back down. I have purchased the Bosch blades and fitment thingy. Was awesome for the first month or so, but not worth spending more money on as the cheapos do the same job and last just as long.....

Ps, bought first set of bosch and they were streaking after ~3 weeks of use due to tiny bits of sludge or what-not on my windscreen.

I was at supercheap the other day and saw a couple of guys in a done-up VY SS getting a s/cheap worker to change their wiper blades for them. They saw me and mate laughing at them as I was changing bulbs in taillights, so they floored it outta the carpark. :D

hm so the bosch ones actually come with the entire arm assembly not just the rubber inserts, for $15? I'm off to check em out then because I was thinking of respraying my wiper arms as they're completely faded ..look grey, not a good luck when the car is black and polished

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
