Hey guys,

I have a 95' GTR V-Spec, and ever since I've had it it's had no rear wiper, which I find more aesthetically pleasing than the ones I see with them. However, I've never actually seen another one that doesn't have one?

I know the N1's came without a rear wiper, just wondering if it was some kind of option/feature? Or probably after market?

Cheers.

Do you have the swtich to use the rear wiper?

Has the entire rear wiper mechanism been removed?

Could just be a custom job or get you build plate and VIN numbers and post it on SAU and someone can decode it for you.

There is a thread called "VINS, You Wanted Fast"... Or something like that, just do a search and post the numbers in there.

thats pretty odd.....

i dont know why manufactures dont put them on alot of cars these days.....even Merc & BMWS...alot of the fords and holdens dont either

and if yuo notice...the S15 200sx AUS full import has no wiper.....but the JDM Silvia S15 has.....

im assuming that the japanese climate is different as it snows there etc.

but still...i think all cars should have them....

well as the other guy said....get some info of the car....

worse comes to worse it could be a custom job.....or maybe a repair from a crash?

but anyways hopefully its nothing major.....

if you really want one...id say go to a wrecker find a R33 and get one installed DIY with the wiring diagram.

but im not sure if R33 GTS-T have the exact same one.

Mine doesn't have one either. It is a '95 GTR V-Spec.

There's no hole in the back glass so the rear window is specific to one's that have it or don't. My car does have the same controls on the wiper control but does nothing if you turn it on (obviously).

^^Yeah the ADM S15 did not come with rear wipers but had those ugly red brake reflectors on the rear bar.

Just off topic but in reguards to the ADR requirements, my R32 GTR is a '90 model and did not need side indicators on the front guards but needed a rear parcel shelf brake light, but from '91 models and up, you needed side indicators but no need for rear parcel shelf brake light.

It doesn't look right to me either.

I want to remove mine.

is there a stock way of removing it without buying new glass? some kind of stopper for the hole?

Yes there is a way to remove it and plug up the hole with a bung, you can buy a Moonface Racing rear wiper hole bung from www.rhdjapan.com, thats what im using on my gtr at the moment, just remove the wiper motor etc and put the moonface bung in its place, looks alot cleaner than having a rear wiper.

whatever you do, dont try and yank it off by pulling upward with as much force as possible, or you'll be left with a shitload of broken glass!

push downward on the centre of the wiper, and gently pull the other end up that connects the wiper to the cog on the wiper motor

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
