does anyone know how to go about deleting the rear wiper?

speedhunters have been doing a feature on sedans and haulers and featured a few stageas this month - this one today looks ultra clean, and makes me want to delete the badges and wiper on mine, but i'm wanting to know if anyone knows of a bung kit to suit?

I have those blanking caps on Yahoo auctions for sale before

Not hard to make your own. Once you remove the motor from the inside you will be left with a approx 15-20mm hole thru glass.

make a cap from something and glue it on.

I think that if you remove it you will get a defect, just like Silvia owners do if they remove the wing caus they remove the stop light part.

You would have to check each State's laws on rear wipers on wagons.

^^ I think the only issue with the removal of a wing with a stop light in it is the loss of the 'eye level' brake light that you are required by law to have.

Would be interested to know the legalities of removing a rear wiper

Yeah i have seen them on yahoo japan fairly often, I think it's just a rubber plug of some kind.

I have heard of people being defected in NSW for removing a rear wiper, if it was there from factory. Same for removing the rear washer nozzle thing.

Seems like something that would only be picked up if a cop was really intent on raping you though.

funnily enough, i hate not having a back wiper when it's raining :P

there was a little rubber "nipple" on the back of mine covering the wiper bit... but it fell off so now its a bit of silicon!!

not sure what I can cover it with now.

yep, after driving to work in the rain and realising i used my rear wiper twice, i'm thinking it's not worth getting rid of. i love the practicality of this car, i should stop thinking of ways that reduce that.

my ls400 had 5% tint on the rear window and it was vergining on downright dangerous in the wet,

even during the day i couldn't see a single thing out the rear window - i was too afraid to change lanes, and merging onto the freeway was like gambling with your life!

still, it's a damn good looking rig.

still got that m35 wiper mike?

I hate the f**king little thing, you use it and then it highlights how dirty the car is cos you've got a clean n on the rear window...

Im de-baging mine in the next few days and will look into wiper removal.

Any tips on de-baging?

haha, i think your sentiments are clear!

every car i've debadged i've had success with just heating the area with a blow dryer to soften the glue, then sliding a piece of fishing wire behind the badge and use a gentle pulling/sawing motion. they come off pretty easy. then to get the remaining glue off use some wax and grease remover and just dab it on, let it sit for a minute, then wipe off gently (don't scrub, you can damage the clearcoat).

then hit it with some polish and then wax, and it should be good to go. worst that can happen is you mess it up somehow, and you have to stick the badge back on.

i know it's not deleted, but the alternative to the standard wiper is to swap it for an m35 one like i did

Mike, does the wiper from an M35 bolt straight on, and does it cover the same sweep area when it's used?

*goes to steel one from Jetwreck's car while it's off the road*

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
