D4V3 GT4 Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Having the Nismo bumper fitted whats the correct way to disconnect the washer jets!!!! DaveH Quote
Removed Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 hmmmm since they come out by water pressure (not motorised) would say taking them off shouldn't be that difficult.... BUT why don't you keep them on the Nismo Bumper??? Quote
M13KYF Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Also their is the consideration come MOT time. Headlamp washers must be present on cars with Xenon bulbs. Have heard though that some JDM have got through this law on the SVA test. Quote
D4V3 GT4 Posted March 16, 2006 Author Posted March 16, 2006 I thought the bumper didn't have the holes?? I've just delivered the box to the body shop, they said they are just gonna clamp the tubes?? What you reckon????? DaveH Quote
M13KYF Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 You may have to cut the holes out. Would seriously think about fitting them as the car could fail the MOT. I wonder the reason for no holes is because the Nismo front bumper is JAP, Their is no rule on Xenon headlamp washer there so haven't bothered. Quote
Removed Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 yeah for the Nismo kit in UK they cut the holes where they fit them over here I'd keep them tbh Quote
Space Cadet Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 The headlamp washer jet really fcuks me off!! I wish there was an on-off button or something similar, for example, I’ve cleaned the car, its lovely and polished, go for a drive and need to wash the windscreen because of a dead fly or something and then…… whoosh the front wings of the car are covered with fluid from the washer jets - just because I wanted to clean the windscreen!!!

M13KYF Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 totally agree. On the TT you could still wash the windscreen without doing the lights by tapping the stick. IF you held it down for over a scond it would also do the lights. Liked it that way. Quote
Removed Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 the washers only come up automatically if the lights are on. the first time you use the wipers. then about once every 5 times from then. if you don't want them to wash your clean car, switch the lights off Quote
Removed Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 you stop, switch off lights, clean windscreen, switch on lights, go about your business :teeth: Quote
Space Cadet Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 I'll double check, but i'm sure they still wash even if the lights are off. Quote
D4V3 GT4 Posted March 17, 2006 Author Posted March 17, 2006 No it only does it when the lights are on!! I won't miss them, the amount of times I've polished and then come a cropper when I've squirtted the windows! I Know theres an MOT issue but to be honest the car will be long gone before then anyway, I'd rather not have them. like the smiley things on this site, these two are ace, and again Quote
Removed Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 I'll double check, but i'm sure they still wash even if the lights are off. not when activating the wiper's spray. Quote
