rear windscreen wiper 33gtr

[pablo321]

just a question,

just looking at the photos of the purple gtr that crashed and i noticed it had a rear windscreen wiper

i own a series 1 33gtr v spec and mine doesn't have a rear windscreen wiper ,

is this like a series 2 or 3 thing ?

if so is there any other differences between the series 1, 2 and 3 ?

just wondering

:headspin:

Does your wiper control stalk have a symbol for the rear wiper? Maybe it was removed.

yeah there is nothing there at all

[Driver]

yeah my r33 N/a didnt have one and didnt have a controller for it

the early gtr r33 didn't come with a rear wiper/passenger air bag etc...

my gtr r33 doesn't have it either...

They were all options.

My gtr 33 S1 came with a passenger airbag (option)

No wiper unfortunately. Bit of a pain when it rains and you cant wipe the rear window

mine was the opposite came with rear wiper but no pass. airbag (95 model)

i've driven mine in light and heavy rain and for some weird reason no word of a lie the rear windscreen barely gets wet, like on my parents magna (no wiper) so i took it off...

It is only there for snow....... and how much of that do we get here?

[Driver]

i like it for when i have a dusty back window and the sun is makn it hard to see thru

No, rear wipers appear on Australian-delivered cars as well. Especially those that have sharply angled rear windows, because the rain doesn't run straight off them like it does off a vertical window.

My 95 gtr33 vspec has a rear wiper,and my mates 95 gtr came with one as well.both series 1.And both our cars only have drivers airbag.I also used to have a 93 r33 series 1 that had a rear wiper and a 95 r33 that had one.But then i have seen a few that dont have them.Personally i like the rear wiper,i also like how it has a water sprayer as well.

yes, quite true about the aussie delivered wipers... but I think you will find you answered your own question.... as the GTR etc all have sedan style rear windows, it is hardly needed, how many aussie WRX's do you see with them? but the import ones have them

[T88 ON BOARD]

HHHmmm....i think they must all have been optional then....

I dont have a rear wiper and no passenger airbag....

The only use my rear wiper/washer system gets is to judge how well you launch - the wetter the back windscreen, the harder the launch!
