Rear wiper mod on S14? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

scottyb · 09-27-2006, 11:32 AM

Has anyone done a rear wiper mod on their S14? I really want one but I've been searching and can't find anyone who's done it.

My idea would be find a JDM S14(yeah right) or USDM EVO wiper and have a windshield shop cut a hole for it, then wire it up myself.

Anyone got better or cheaper rear wiper ideas?

Find someone in europe and get a rear wiper from a euro s14.

that sounds like a perfect idea.
get the nissan one so it bolts up all nice and fancy.

There are a few on ebay not long ago. They rear window with motor and blade for tons of cars.

FinalDrive · 09-27-2006, 12:04 PM

jhot gets them from time to time
check ebay!

Slidin240Wayz · 09-27-2006, 12:07 PM

JHOT +1...ebay

scottyb · 09-27-2006, 12:24 PM

I don't know anyone in europe, but it looks like I'll keep my eye on JHOT, if nothing else I'll buy one of the Soarer ones they have.

Thanks guys.

I don't suggest cutting the hoel in the glass. I would just be too worried of it cracking.

ps spend the money once

^^thats what i was thinking. Are you willing to buy a whole rear window?? That is just redicules.

If you want to be JDMizzle tight, go for it.

chmercer · 09-27-2006, 01:55 PM

haha you mean UKDM tyte or somthing

they didnt get that shit in japan

DoriftoPnoy · 09-27-2006, 02:20 PM

well if its euro it'd be DTM

MOUNTAINGARAGE · 09-27-2006, 02:27 PM

just use rain-ex...its cheaper

unless you want it for the look, then just use a stapler or duct tape.

scottyb · 09-27-2006, 03:14 PM

Rain-X is a good idea, but i really want it because I hate not being able to see out the rear when there are drops all over it, I just think it isn't safe.

It seems like SUVs and minivans are the only vehicles that get rear wipers here, but it really makes sense for cars too.

I hadn't thought about what it would cost to replace it if the galss cracked, probably a lot with the defroster and all.

Oh well, rain-x it will have to be....

redsuns3838 · 09-27-2006, 03:16 PM

actually they did get rear wipers in japan. just not on all S14s. guess it was an option since its on both kouki and zenki models.

and

even if u did the mod, after u throw some rain-ex on it, ull end up not needing it anyways =P rain-ex is awesome, except at low speeds that is.

struka · 09-27-2006, 09:38 PM

i would love to have one because i think it looks soo good with it

Drift Motion · 09-27-2006, 10:10 PM

argh..i need a wiper on my hatch..
mayb ill give rain-x a try
every morning, i cant see shit out the back with all the water/fog on the back..

projectRDM · 09-27-2006, 10:25 PM

Rear glass is about $780 retail from the dealer. You can't cut/drill a hole in it since it's standard auto glass and shatters on impact, the suggestion to try that is absolutely fucking retarded.

As for the UK/JDM parts, everything bolts right in and you'll just need to wire it, it's simple for those with a brain and an FSM, though I have to agree with others, it's looks like shit and a bottle of RainX costs a whole lot less.

!Zar! · 09-27-2006, 11:28 PM

The only reason I see anyone purchacing that is to be jdm cool.

I know if that came stock on my car, I would remove it.

Just look at all the s13 fb guys. haha.

Purchace some rain x and be happy.
