Hi all, i need urgent help. my wipers just turn on themselfs after cleaning out my egine bay with the high pressure cleaner. the fist mark on the wipers dont work (ie slowest wipes) but the rest seems to be responding. they just turn on themselfs and its F**king annoying having them on while driving, this only occured recently.

i let the egine cool b4 spraying and i made sure i leave it there for like 2-3hrs b4 i start the egine again.

PLease help, i know it was not a good idea to spray water into the egine bay, but isnt that the best way to clean it?

any help would be great apprciated.

THANKS!!!

my rear wiper only works sometimes when it feels like it (once ive switched it on..) pain in the ass.

did u cover all electrical systems when u did it?

u probably farked something and its arching over the water?

nope didnt cover anything, well that a stupid mistake ive made, but i think ive fixed the prob.

i found the motor that moves the wipers, unplugged the clip,dried it with the blow dry, and there's a relay close under, turned that upside down *water drips out* :S. dried that too, and now the fisrt wipers mark moves when i wanted to :P YAY!!! hopes it F**king stay that way, the missis got very PMSi when we were driving in northbrigde with the front wipers going while its not even raining. LOL NOW thats cool (wipers certainly ****ed up my night)

things that pissed me off at first is that none of the fuse were blown so i knew i didnt arc anything, just the water bloodly set a few things off.

BTW jason, these are my front wipers soo i think pulling the fuse on them during winter is a VERY BAD idea.

holy crap you guys are psychic..

i was gonna post the same kinda problem.

My drivers side wiper shit it self the other night. Doesnt seem like a fuse thing, but like its mechanically stuffed. I was going down the free way with them on, and the driver side just extended all the way over the edge of the windscreen.

Once i brought it back down, it doesnt actually wanna move any more. The other wiper moves as per normal, with the 2nd one dead.

Any ideas as to where i can get get it fixed/repaired?

Prob broke one of the arms (under the black plastic at the bottom of the windscreen) same thing happened to me about a year ago, easiest to take the bonnet off to do it (on an R31) but you can struggle with it still on, as i did (was about 9pm, and was going to rain the next day, and had no-one to help with taking the bonnet off...)

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Think I found another reason to buy the Q50 rather than the skyline import, seems that unless you get the 400r the other models such as the GT miss out on the decent brakes and don't have the flappy paddles on the steering wheel to change gears. Its my day off work today and the Q50 listed @ the dealer in Brisbane that I mentioned in my 1st post looks like it sold as its listed as no longer available... Would have checked it out but can understand why it sold as it was a bargain price.

      There are fixes for this. In industry we use compressed air for everything. It is frequently wet, and many things cannot tolerate it. So there are various forms of driers available that you can install. The simplest option for something like this would be a dessicant drier. Much cheaper to replace some silica gel than actuator cylinders.

      That's a solid update mate, well done at WA FOS. You may already know this, but the actuators on the paddle shift are a service item and are sadly not that reliable. As I understand it they collect water from the compressor (condensation) which then rusts the bores/pistons in the actuators. A mate of mine had no end of trouble with them in one if his circuit cars, apparently it's a 'known issue'. Buy a couple of spares at great expense to ensure you never have any problems with the ones you've got! Any clues about what the new WTAC rules might be? While faster cars are cool the Pro class arms race has got to the point where you wouldn't even bother entering without a $1m budget and even then I don't think you'd win.

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      https://nissan.epc-data.com/skyline/er34/3945-rb25det/trans/317/31940N/ The pictures of the part you're talking about is clearly not just one solenoid. You can see another picture of it here: https://www.alltranz.com.au/shop/drivetrain/automatic-transmission/RE5R01A/product/9305/ The 4 speed automatic in the GTT is Nissan corporate stuff. You can search up similar jobs done on a Frontier or Pathfinder with a RE4R01B to get an idea for what the internals are going to look like and the procedure like this:
