ahaha What's wrong with the w/s?

Both my R33 and R34 happened to have the smoked w/s when I bought them so I never really had a say in the matter, they were in good condition so I left them on

I like 'em! :D

Only got 1 on my 33 and I had trouble locating just one to complete it, so I'll buy pair later on.

As for the 32, I bought pair thinking it'll fit the sedan but realised it is different (d'oh!).

It's really a shame cos I liked them.

I had them on my car for 5 years and finally decided I needed a change. I took them off and cleaned up the mess with soapy steal wool. Bear in mind I have the four door so there is a chrome strip they are stuck to. Anyhow, took them all off as there are four and what a difference. The car looks more modern and no annoying wind noise. Much quieter on the expressway. Plus the clips do get loose and now no tiny little rattles.

G'day all,

Yes a thread revival...

I've bought a pair for 33 other day, but missing few plastic bits that holds the clips on windshields.

So, where do I go to get them from?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

I like them. I always thought they'd stop water from dripping onto your power window controls when you use the window washer.

I was wrong.

They dont protect water from running in when the windows are down a little? terrible

But yea, feel your pain as well. I always thought the weathershields would help

Still would be interested in a set of the R34 GTT

my GTT came with the dark redish slimline ones on both sides. IMO they look crap and are next to useless as when it rains, water comes in anyway... but I've no idea how to take them off as they're clipped hard in and I think there would be rubber insulation missing where they're now and I don't know if anyone can actually fix that or how much it'd cost.

i got mine from supercheap, just go and ask them for the weathershield clips separatly. you probably have to wait a week or 2.

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
