Hi all, ive got these really daggy looking wipers (ones with the rubber covers) on my S1 33, the covers are all weather damaged & ripped and the wipers themselves smear the windows really bad when it rains , whats the best way to replace these? can the part be sourced through nissan? anyone know parts numbers?

Cheers,

Sam

hey, i'm new to skylineaustralia. this is my first time answering a question, however, i'll try my best. Why don't you just go buy some new windscreen wipers? Does it have to be Original Nissan? Just asking thats all. I would replace them asap due to your safety..

The wiper blades themselves have this weird hook and clip system on them, ive had a look at a few non-geniune ones and none of them would be compatible. It would make things easier if i could do it that way, but it doesnt look like it'll happen. :thumbsup:

I have WRX wipers on my R32.

Its a newer design that has two long thin metal blades holding the rubber in place rather then the little metal clip on the ends.

The result is no flop when the wipers change direction and a clean wipe.

So WRX wipers clip in place of the nissan ones with no probs? where abouts did you get the WRX ones and at what price?

Cheers,

Sam

For the weathering damage to the cover. Sand it back to get it a rough finish and cover the entire wiper arm with a couple of layers of black engine enamel. As for the wiper blades the R32 ones at least are just the same as every other modern wiper blade. I used Ford ones which are easily attainable from almost every car parts retailer. Don't be stupid by going out and buying new wiper arms when you can refresh the old one and make it look new again.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
