AC? proper seats? nav? Radio?

get them all out of here it isn't a sports car if it has those.

not to the extreme, but a torque converter based AT sure doesn't belong.

and it still beats the MT version apparently.

I cant see any advantage of the MT compared to the AT other than the MT feel of shifting. even after francorchamps

well, the 'feel of shifting' as you put it is a big part of having a fun car, not rear wipers that are only halfarsed functional vs a rear view camera.

Yep, we all removed ours and you guys are trying to put them back on

I put mine back on and use it all the time since I park on a hill and the Z is my daily.

I suppose you refer to a guy being AC or AC/DC. And your insult is that he is AC? Wow, how times have changed.

I plan to remove my rear wiper. As i did with my 350. Never liked it. Plus it's weight savings(lol). Looks cleaner though. I bought what is believed to be called a faucet stopper or plug from home depot and had it painted the same as the car. Looked good to me.

Here is a schematic of the JDM rear wiper. It's attached to the hatch itself. You probably do not need to order an entire JDM hatch, you can probably drill a hole into your car and have it installed. More likely there will be markings underneath the US hatch panel that will show where the hole should be. You need the motor, the wiper assembly, and then any wiring will be completely custom. The rear wiper in Japan should (if I am not mistaken) have a relay or fuse that controls it, so you would more than likely need to wire up everything to a blank spot in the underhood fuse box or independently wire everything up with a new switch. Unless you do custom work, you will not be able to have the rear wiper controlled off the steering column stalk switch. It's A LOT of work... But if anyone is truly interested we can get ALL of the parts etc in from Japan!
