Wiper Replacement

[uneekwahn]

Which wiper blades have people successfully replaced theirs with in an R33?

Mine are getting very sticky and crap and I think it's time to replace them, but funnily enough can't seem to find a specific blade for the R33.

I got some from supacheap, they were like universal fit had fins for 3mm and 6mm or something like that, was a whil ago. But they work excellent. They were called "Big Grey", got them because my paint is GMG, there are black or there are a few different coloured ones. Cheap too.

[dan_the_man]

Or just go to nissan and ask them which ones to use...

[MacGuyver]

Yeah I've seen those "Big Grey" ones too. Big W sell them also, they even sell them in a set of 3 so you can replace your front ones as well as your rear one. I got me some blue ones! Looks pretty shmick, but they are more expensive than the regular black ones. I think most of them are all a universal fit aren't they?

if you go corner of william and horse shoe bridge, they have two homeless people wipe your windows with news papers, they are good too. will cost you $2 though....

but serious note, get yourself with silicon green blade from marlows aka super cheap' in vicpark

[Br4nchi3]

Yes the silicon ones are good, high performance wiper blades add +2hp

[uneekwahn]

Thanks to those that provided valuable suggestions

I just went to my parts department - got asked if i needed fat or skinny ones and done ..... seems toyota ones fit nissan fine too.

there are 6mm, 8mm, and 6/8mm ones..

im pretty sure my 33 used the 8mm ones, but if you buy the universal 6/8mm ones you dont have a problem

[Br4nchi3]

Yeah 6mm and 8mm sounds more realistic then what I said before, my '94 R33 uses the smaller fins or the 2 sizes (6mm?) I just checked.

Jason - this thread is clearly your finest moment

ps $1.95 single refill replacements from supacheap as someone else mentioned, they last about 1 winter then summer comes and they turn to diamond and cut your windshield up

[Br4nchi3]

Yeah the "BIG _Insert Colour Here_" ones are $10 from memory, they are silicon style. I wish I saw the 3 Pack ones because I havent replaced my rear winshield wiper, not that I use it much anyway.

[uneekwahn]

Thanks guys,

I got the BIG <Insert color here> (silver specifically) blades and they're awesome.

They make my ride look so sweet!

Thanks again.

Warm, kind and sincere regards,

Jason.

Yes

[madbung]

The only comment on wiper blade that matters is Buy steel backed ones!! why? coz they actually keep working to a r.w.c standard longer than 1 weekend. Plastic ones can't apply the same pressure between blade and screen and after a short period are no longer effective, making them defective!!
