Need to get this done for my missus 180SX as well. Was useful for me... wanted to hit up Autobarn at Chadstone as the manager appears to be a fellow SAU member and the staff there are a helpful bunch

Just went to Supercheap and Autobarn, they both sell aero wiper blades for like $35-37 each....

So I think I'll be getting from somewhere else..

But I bought some Rain-X stuff tho lol

Oh also, do I need to use both Rain-X repellant and washer fluid additive for windscreen? Or is one of them enough?

If you use RainX I woudn't even bother with washer fluid additive, and like chuckie said, with RainX you can almost get away without wipers, it just beads and rolls off with any amount of speed

I find that RainX with silicone balde is awesome. I think the silicone blades were like $18 from Supercrap

Oh ok... Well I got some Rain-X 2 in 1 spray with glass cleaner & repellent ($15) and some washer fluid additive ($10).

Then I'll be getting a full set of aero wipers on the weekend, fronts & rear ($45), or should I just buy some cheap silicone refills from Supercheap?

Yer, not so sure the spray on ones are the go, just rainex in the small bottle. :thumbsup:

bosch twin aero is what i used on my GTT, great wipers.... 100% recommend

they look much better too and last for ages - i never changed them for as long as i had the GTT and they worked just as well at the end as they did at the beginning

i also clay/polish/wax or sealant my windscreen as well, can never have too much sheeting action on glass :D

Just an update guys. I bought a full set of silicone aero blade for $40 (like the Bosch ones), front and back.

And man.... They are AWESOME!

Because the aero blades are SO MUCH lighter than my old metal framed ones, they make absolutely NO noise while wiping, can't even hear the wiper motor!

And they don't leave any spots or streaks at all.

I'd definitely recommend them :D

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
