I bought the Bosch H595 Specific Fit Rear Wiper Blade as well as the AR18U and AR21U. Worked out to $55 delivered to Australia. The last time I bought Bosch wiper blades in Canberra I paid almost $80 at Ricerbarn, so I am happy with my savings.

I just hope the rear blade is the right one!!

Do you have a preferred application method for rainex? I always manage to go overboard and it seems to make my wiper blades stick a bit.

Wipe it on in circular motion, making sure you overlap.

Then mist water on, an wipe over with a handful of folded paper towel. That gets rid of the streaky residue.

Sorry to bring up a slightly past use-by thread. Searched for Bosch aerotwins for a r32 on that wiperblades.co.uk website and it seems that it uses AR18U all around?!! Front 2 and rear all the same?? And anyone used a flat blade to replace their rears? Somehow I think the website has wrong data...

I'm sure the driver side is meant to be longer. I can't tell since mine already had aftermarket ones (refills you get from any auto store). Can anyone confirm?

If I could guess it would 20" aero for driver, 18" aero for passenger and 18" normal blade for rear. I would advise people to measure their originals if they can before buying.

My C34 S2 stagea uses the following

Front

1x 510 long

1x 460 long

Rear

1x 300 long

Sizes are approx. you should measure yours before you order.

I'll be looking at replacing mine soon too, the aero flat types look effective, I know I have these on my VW Golf as standard factory fitted and they work great.

Or to the too young to understand imperial;

Front

1x 510 long 20 inch

1x 460 long 18 inch

Rear

1x 300 long 12 inch

You had metric then you just added inches - that's imperial..

Just thought I might add. Ended up buying trico flat blades from autobahn to suit an r32 gtst. 20" fronts and 18" rear according to the book they had. Got em but not fitted yet. I will order the bosch for next time I reckon..should be cheaper from that wiperblades site depending on shipping of course.

Bosch AeroTwin Wipers can be bought from http://mycarperformance.com.au/wiper-blades/bosch-aero-twin-wipers.html they are $46 + postage

They also carry a cheaper brand for $26 delivered which have good reviews on ebay at http://stores.ebay.com.au/My-Car-Performance

Well I bought the following wipers from Ebay for my series 2 C34

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/QEEP-AERO-WINDSCREEN-WIPERS-NISSAN-SKYLINE-R31-R32-R33-R34-R35-PAIR-/300788425287

Qeep aero style for skyline. Seller was streettunecomau, Only $10 + $10 delivery, stock in NSW, had them in a few days,

1x 18 in , 1x21 in. Took 5 mins to fit.

Highly recommended. They are single blade type.

I wouldn't pay $60+ for a very similar product.

Lol I like how the installation video is for the Bosch wiperblades in the ebay ad. Have you compared to the Bosch or Trico single blade types? Seems cheap enough for me to compare to as well.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
