Zs-ondabrain Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share #26 Posted December 31, 2007 Dave, ezzzzzz Would you mind posting some pics of the correct (and incorrect, particularly vis a vis the output shaft and the "spider legged") motors so those of us off to hunt the local JY will have a field guide of what works? Thanks, Steve The 91' Honda Civic has the correct motor but here's a few shots to help get the correct motor. The motor on the right is the Honda motor. When you get the motor home, hold them side by side. the slots on the shaft should be aimed the same way. ( / ) ( / ) When you find the correct motor at the yard, save the 3 bolts and the washer and nut from the motors shaft. Dave.

Zs-ondabrain Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share #27 Posted December 31, 2007 PLEASE DISREGARD THE DIAGRAMS ON POST #22!!The Diagrams on Post #22 are incorrect and have been modified to correct the Universal (J.C. Whitney) delay unit and the EQUUS 9030 delay unit.After installing these units into my 240Z and Justin54321's 72' 240Z. I discovered a flaw in the Diagrams. Because of my "PARK" relay, their instructions do not apply. So I have modified the diagrams to show the correct wiring of those 2 units. Not having installed the HELLA unit as of yet, I can not be sure if it is correct or not. So I changed the HELLA diagram to what I think will be correct.J C Whitney delay diagram for Honda upgrade 1mb.bmpEQUUS 9030 wiper delay full diagram under 1mb.bmpHELLA wiper delay unit into 240Z with Honda under 1mb.bmp Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/26561-honda-wiper-motor-upgrade-for-the-240z/?page=3#findComment-232559 Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundmasterg Posted March 16, 2008 Share #28 Posted March 16, 2008 This is a picture of the incorrect motor, which did come off a 1991 Honda Civic. I'm off to the wrecking yard to see if I can find the correct one.

Zs-ondabrain Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share #29 Posted March 17, 2008 yup, that's the wrong one, Look for the tripod, not the 4 legged spider. The picture in my post from (12/30/07) is the correct one Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/26561-honda-wiper-motor-upgrade-for-the-240z/?page=3#findComment-240866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR-Z Posted March 17, 2008 Share #30 Posted March 17, 2008 Dave, you're the wiring guru. Thanks for your work on this. I a '73 with the unique combo switch. Would the wiring diagram you supplied above be applicable to my car - (my wiper motor plug on firewall).

Zs-ondabrain Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share #31 Posted March 17, 2008 Not 100% sure. I know it'll work properly (with my relay) but the intermittent part would have to be studied. It's all about the timer. I don't personally know if the 73's intermittent timer is on the Datsun motor or in a seperate box, somewhere in the 240Z.Dave Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/26561-honda-wiper-motor-upgrade-for-the-240z/?page=3#findComment-240915 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoHawk Posted May 22, 2008 Share #32 Posted May 22, 2008 I have my motor out & apart right now. I want to give itto a restoration guy for new brushes & such.Do you think it might be possible to just swap the motor can & armature for a newer one?

I'm off to the wrecking yard to see if I can find the correct one.GregI went to Pull-A-Part today, and the only wiper motors I could find are these 4-legged spider ones. Every 91 Civic I looked at had the incorrect motor. Has anyone identified exactly which model Civic the correct motor comes from?

Zs-ondabrain Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share #34 Posted May 25, 2008 If I can find time (or if anyone else can) I'll call Honda Service on tuesday and have them do a Cross refence on the correct part, to find out what other hondas that motor came in. That should answer this age old question, I hope.Now I need to find the part number.Dave.

soundmasterg Posted May 27, 2008 Share #35 Posted May 27, 2008 Check the '91 Accords also. They will have a motor that works just fine, with the only caveat being that you have to grind down the shaft a bit. I did this for mine since I couldn't find the correct one ouf of the Civic of that era, and it works just fine. I got it installed yesterday btw.GregP.S. Still working on the delay circuit idea Dave.
