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*

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
