R33 Wiper motor.

:-\ Wondering if anyone has fitted a R33 wiper motor into a 76 260Z.

I fitted a wiper motor out of a Honda Civic (93?) to upgrade my one. It's a lot faster but parking the wipers is abit annoying.

The other option Dimitri is to do what I plan on doing, never drive your z in the rain

[Zedman240®]

Thats always the plan but as you know with Melbourne weather, you leave with the sun and come back with wall clouds and large hail in the arvo!

Very true mate.

 

Another option Alan is the honda civic wiper motor, this writeup says its for a 240z though not sure how it would go on a 260

Is there a faster motor that will self park?

[Zedman240®]

My Civic one does self park but it does it slightly on the high side. If you turn it on and off at the right point, they sit nice an low.

Was it hard Dimitri?

  Thanks Dimitri for info, whats the drama's in fitting this . With the Civic unit can I use the existing actuating arms to wiper blades. Tried to get    access to thread suggested but no luck.

It's a bit hard to explain, but when they park without my help, and sit a tad high, when I go to switch them back on, they keep travelling down for a split second then start the upward stroke as normal. If I re-adjust the arms on the spindle, the wiper blades will hit and run over the windscreen seal then travel back up. It must be the timing in the wiper motor itself that needs adjusting. Not a big issue for me, as long as the wipers work well, that's all I care about.

Nope, just have to re-drill 3 holes in that metal plate that holds the original wiper motor and all the original zed arms and linkages bolt up. A little wiring is needed; just make a new in-line plug in from the original loom to the new motor. I'll try and find the thread on here somewhere..

Found my thread about it;

I still have the wiring loom schematic on file if anyone needs it.

Thanks again Dimitri, got a circa 93 Civic motor in xclnt cndtn for ($30) Ebay. Checked out Atlanticz site & your thread also. Your finished job was more impressive especially the wiring concept. Can you possibly give a more detailed description of how you achieved this result.
