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?

I only got an increase of 5kw, did i do something wrong?

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.

wil gtr wipers fit a gtst?

also its a nice tutorial... but i guess im jsut not mechanically minded... maybe ther should be a 5 star rating on dificulty... thiswould be like 3..

im jsut going to take it to a mechanics

anyone reccommnd a mechanics that have delt with these kind of modification before?

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

    • 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.
