Windscreen Wipers

[Lucy in the Sky]

i just bought an r33 and the wipers are rubbish - i'll either replace the rubber or get new ones -

which ones do you use?

[gazza750]

what ever is on sale at big w or kmart do the job for me

[R DIRTY 3]

I always use Genuine Nissan. They work better than most aftermarket, and they dont cost a much different to off the shelf supercheap or what ever.

yeh go to some were like bigw and stuff, if you wanna change the whole wiper kmart now has ones that look black but in the sun kinda changes colour depending on which colour you buy, looks full kool

[dan_the_man]

+1 for genuine nissan

[kasanoff]

there's always those ridiculously expensive Bosch micro-edge ones...

[KeeFy]

there's always silicon ones too

[342Four]

there are ones that move across the windscreen from side to side, they usually do the trick

nah, doesn't really matter IMO, theres all this fancy testing done on windscreen wipers, but it comes down to preference

ive seen the silicon ones work as well as kmart/supercheap/auto1 ones

[GODTHRILA]

Just bought some dual blade replacements from supercheap the other week... awesome... The last ones I used were genuine Nissan from my brother and the dualies are heaps better. They aren't massive things either so they don't look ugly.

Why have one when two is twice the fun!?!

those rubber ones i like them.

pIAA ones are very good, they'll give you a silicon window wipe.....water will just slide up the glass when driving, don't even need the wiper switched on...but each wiper cost $65

Genuine Nissan again, they last much longer than the others.

I buy the cheap ones and replace them more often

wiper blades are supposed to be changed at the start of each winter anyway so as long as they last 1 year who cares LMAO

[nuffsaid]

Dude have you tried them?

What I was trying to say is Ive used the BigW ones, only to find that 2 weeks later they get noisey and dont wipe as nice. I made this mistake a few times trying different blade types.

The Nissan ones I have now have wiped the same way when I bought them 6 months ago.

lol my friend got gyped by the pakaging of this $20 wiper "high silicon content" it's clear look like those silicon glue....he put it on, squeaked like mad...laughing my arse off

I think it's really a dried up moulded silicon glue

[fr0st]

These are by far the best wipers on the market. i would have them on even if it wasnt raining

I wonder what the silicon content is?

[KeeFy]

the best are still bosch spineless oems. The ones that european cars like merc, bmw, volvo, etc, use these days. You know... the flexi kind that has no backbone. Those are wonderful.. but expensive. And you need to modify your assembly to get it to fit. And i love Rain X. I haven't stopped using it since i started years ago.
