Traktion Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I know this is a stupid question, but... What wiper blades does the 350z use? I looked in the manual and couldn't see a mention of it. I just went to Halfords and they didn't have them in their book. I asked at the counter and then he went off to get them, only for me to realise they were the wrong ones (too big!) when I got home. Is it something to do with the R2 and R3 on the blades?! Forgive me for being dense, but I usually just nip down Halfords, find it in the book and add them to the car.

davidbaker8130 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Drivers side is 20" and passenger and rear are 18". If you want some really amazing wipers, have a look here http://www.priracing.co.uk/section.php?xSec=39&jssCart=7215cbbbe80c22555ddba8baf6fc2bb1 Not cheap but they somehow coat the screen so that the water just beads off - bit like RainX.

Traktion Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Halfords sold me 20" and 21" for the front Thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Cadet Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 PIAA blades are wicked - good advice. (Their light bulbs on non-xenon cars are awesome.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Which ones did you buy? The satin black or carbon fibre? Did you go for the Sporza version? Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim I went for a Sporza for the drivers side and plain for passenger side. Both in black. Carbon ones look good too. Personal preference I guess.

rickya Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I also need some new ones & wil probably get these ones but am waiting for this extreme hot weather too cool down a bit. Sticking expesie new blades on in this weather would reduce their life unneccaraily plus its not raining at all these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I like the look of the carbon one with spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennydies Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi, looking on the PIAA site, which blades are used the cureved ones or normal ones....?

Traktion Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 I eventually got around to getting the new wipers, but I think they've sent the wrong ones. I asked for 2 PIAA wipers, one with the spoiler (driver side) and one without (passenger side), but I've been sent two without spoilers. I looked at the invoice and they're both priced the same, which makes me think something has gone wrong with the order. On the site, I could *only* choose one with a spoiler due to its size, so I've no idea how it has gone wrong. Anyway, will the wippers be fine anyway without the spoiler? If it works fine and I've not over paid, I'll just stick them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 can't you send them back? If they've screwed up the order i'd ring up and complain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traktion Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 I could, but if they do the job, I have better things to do with my time than phone them, arrange postage etc. I've not been overcharged anyway (I'm wondering if I messed up my order myself now), so as long as they're not going to fly off at speed, I don't mind. I think I'll just stick them on and see how it goes - I've never noticed the passenger one flapping in the wind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
