Any of you guys had any issues with your wipers?

There seems to be a little slop in the mechanism that when running on intermediate the wipers stutter on return. Not sure if its just the cheap blades or if its wear in the motor assembly its giving me the shi#s.

No trouble at all, infact the smoothest operation i've ever had. I know what you mean, the wipers on my truck are doing that when there's not much water on window, really annoying! I'd splash out on some new blades.

Just put a new blade on, I replaced it the first day I got my car...

As I was going

BOSCH Areo Twin blade is the best I have ever used...

450mm and 530mm is what you need for a perfect fit for our car...

i bough them for around $ 25 each at supercheap auto!

cheers.

I haven done any more research into my problem. I just dont use the intermitant. Its very weard as some times I think thyat it is the way it is controlled. Now and then I will get a quick 2 wipes in the int function.

I was going to pull them apart and see if I could reduce the slop.

By the time I get around to it I wont them anyway

Mine had this problem when I bought it, I pulled the mechanism out and found the plastic ball cup was worn/broken. I replaced them with rose joints, then they worked smooth.

I have one spare plastic cup now.

The assy isnt hard to get out to check.

The problem with me is that I dont have time to be messing around with it.

I will try to get onto it this weekend.

Whats a rose joint?

Thread dig, but very relevant.

I have a similar problem, and possibly the same cause.

When the wiper changes direction at the bottom of it's travel there is a clunk. Shifting the wiper myself lets me move it about 100mm at the tip. I expect there is a linkage or the above mentioned bush flogged out somewhere giving the joint play.

Any guides or information on removing the assembly from under the plastic cover?

Guys, this is a common problem for 2001-2003 stageas and skylines. you don't have so much dirt on the roads - so your wipers don't used to be as tired, as ours, and it is not common on your sterile roads)

you have to clean power distributor on the wiper's motor to remove gray dirt from the separating point oin the line, supporting the periodic duty!

just look for some pics

this is pic of my first Stagea. don't look at dirt - a wash engine room once in 3 month, but it has no affect...

That's not the issue with his though, the white bushes on the arms flog out on some cars allowing the blades to flop around like a slapper's arse. ;)

Never seen those contacts being a problem on the 80 or so V35's/Stagea's I have worked on, can't be a very common issue... Perhaps it's the snow buildup on the blades in winter over there causing excess current draw?

Scott, difficulties in translation) i missed with a problem)

the problem i wrote is only for 2001-2003 cars with mileage over 200 kkm - probably, you are right, hard work with snow matters

white bushes are too easy to find as a reason, for our severe circumstances)) - in Russia original spare arm with two bushes is around 10USD, replace and forget

      Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable

      RB25DET Neo Rebuild

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -

      Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
