Hi Dudes,

With the continuation of stripping my interior back, I am looking at removing the rear wiper mechanism. Car never came with a rear wiper & have no need for one. Problem is, there is obvisouly a hole cut in the windscreen to allow for it.

Question is -

Has anyone had their rear windscreen replaced for any reason?

Can u get one without the hole in it?

If so, where from? Windscreens O'Brian???

Cheers in advance guys!

Konect - I actually did call em but they were like WTF is a Cefiro. Tried explaining for ages but unfortunatley owning an import can cause some issues when talking to Aussie dealers. I also checked thru every 29 pages of the Cefiro section to see if the issue had be covered off previously...to no prevail....

So the lecture about calling before asking really aint required buddy! Don't jump to concluions that I have done nothing to find the info first. Even if I had just simply posted.... im sure some people would be more than happy to provide constructive feedback / assistance. If that frustrates you, well each to their own...no need to pipe up about it dude!

Just thought someone may of had better luck communicating with a company and able to point me in the right direction....u know HELPING out fellow Cefiro owners!

Resin - The hole that the motor goes thru to move the wiper across the windscreen. Obvisouly some Cefiro's came with the rear wiper option some didn't (I assume urs didn't Resin)

Reason why I can't have a rear wiper is

1. The actual thread for the wiper to connect to is rusted to the BS, so unable to be used

2. I dont want a F*#king rear wiper......

f**kme it seems you cant post a simple question here without getting flamed.... so much for being a forum for helping each other out!

Ouch. I was being constructive in a 'funny cuz its not me way' :blink:

Anywhoo is there more than one Windscreens O'Brien place around ?

You want contructive...I went through all my paper work and found the receipt for my windscreen.

Product: 231097

Decription: Nissan Cefiro A31 Sedan

Says on it the parts had to come from Padstow (head office)

Maybe you could give them the part number and they could link it to the car and then the back window.

Konect - Now thats the shinizle.... thanks buddy. I could of possibly :blink: taken the comment the wrong way....I just cracked the shits searching thru all pages in this section making sure it had been covered off, with no luck, then called Windscreens to get some useless mofo MONKEY on the phone, so patience levels were at an all time low! So thought might post up & see what happens.... then the first post i asking me to search first then ask..... just a funny comment with the wrong timing.

So apologies buddy if your comment was made in jest.... :)

Thanks for looking it up dude, will give em a buzz tomoz!

I remember seeing something about this before. Just get a rather large gromit, and some sikaflex. $5 done deal. Might look a bit dodgy but hey, its a drift car, and I am sure you could spend the $200-1000 some glass mob is going to charge you on something much better.

Well I ended up calling Windscreens O'Brien's main 13 # instead of directly calling a local outlet. Guess what..they knew what I was on about! :( :sorcerer:

Now it turns out that they do not stock the rear windscreen. Had about 20 front windscreen in stock, but apparently they have to specially order one in from somewhere.... $$$$$$$$$$$$$ :O

So i was told to call my local outlet..... ha :P and get a quote!

So I will try a different local one and try my luck.

But guaranteed that it will cost heaps like Dave said.

Also im sure they are not going to be able to verify whether it is one for a rear wiper or not!!

I wait to stand corrected....maybe Konects assitance with the product # may help out. Any ideas of how much it cost u Konect?

I think i may end up doing like Dave said.....Gromet & sikaflex the biatch up.

Will report back once confirmed pricing etc....so people will know for future reference!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!

      Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
