My r33 didnt have one. I kind of wish it did in winter though... When the car got iced over in a frost, have the rear dismister on helped, but would never clear it as quickly as having a wiper... Did make washing the car that 2 seconds quicker though, not having to lift it up and put it down...

Additional weight? Bah. Adds what 5kgs at most? Useful things rear wipers.

rear wipers were put there for a reason. i hate jumping into my brothers pulsar sedan or my dads mazda 3 sedan and not being able to see out the rear window because of the dirt and rain collected. the i jump in my skyline and i have a wiper and a washer jet. puuuuurrrrrre bliss lolz.

Bringing back an old thread i know, has any one used araldite or something to try and seal up the hole and put a black sticker from the inside so it looks clean? I've taken mine off and am thinking of sealing it up some how.

Apparently these fit: http://www.componentforce.co.uk/product/363/DBP77/order

MOQ is listed at 250, however im sure you can overcome that. I'm looking to remove mine purely because I never use it and don't want the weight.

to practical to bother taking off just for looks and cars that dont have them should be jelly, and it helps in heavy rain last wednesday it was pouring heavy at night and helped me keep an eye on this douche in a subaru liberty who was tail gating me in the worst possible weather and my rear tyres are not the best.

Wow, what a thread dig lol :P

People who say rear wipers are gay on r33 are "NOT" a fan of SKYLINES. +1. If u guys think that the rear wiper are ugly, why don't u remove the front wipers too. LOL. JDM for life. :worship:

And what is this with someone here pluging up the hole for the rear wiper. That is doggy shit. Embarrasing. Do it on a holden or a ford. :domokun:

    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
    • I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
    • But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.
