SteveJ Posted June 7, 2013 Share #109 Posted June 7, 2013 The swap for the 73 240Z, 260Z & 280Z is something I'm going to be looking at in the future. I am interested in getting better integration with the intermittent function. At least I can test my theories out on the 240Z & 260Z.

Jim_Reaper Posted August 1, 2014 Share #110 Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Hey all. This has been an exelent source of information for me so I thought I would share. I had a wiper motor failure and replaced it with a Cardone assembly. In the process of exchange I stumbled on a way of wiring this into my 72 without a relay and still maintains the park feature.5 prong Acura harness orientation: Looking at the plug-5--4--3- -2--1-2007 ACURA Integra DATSUN1: Low speed - Blue/ White2: High speed - Blue3: Ground - Black.4: 12v constant - Blue/ Red5: Intermittent - Jumper to #1 for Park signalBlue/Yellow is omitted from Datsun harness and not used.Blue wire on wiper motor needs to be cut and isolated on the switch side.Just needed to notch the shaft a little and it works flawless. Cost $72.00 Canadian taxed and delivered from E-Bay and there is very little wiring to do and no relay.Manufacturer Part Number: 76505-SR3-A01, 76505SR3A01 Reference Cardone Part Number: 43-1423 Edited August 1, 2014 by Jim_Reaper Forgot some information Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/26561-honda-wiper-motor-upgrade-for-the-240z/?page=10#findComment-452621 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I came looking for too, I searched but didn't really find what I was looking for. Please, someone correct me if I am wrong. I think you can pretty much mount it anywhere you want. I'm thinking that I may mount mine to the wiper motor with a hose clamp similar to how the original Z relay is done, inside the bag and out of sight for a more stock look. I got the 6-pin connector from Vintage Connections and plan to encase the new wire back to the Datsun side in heatshrink. My grommet is roached so this a good opportunity to replace it too. I am concerned a little about how hot the motor may get during use and melting the relay though, so I may engineer some kind of insulator/stand-off for it so it's not lying directly on the motor.

REMNANT Posted May 30, 2017 Share #113 Posted May 30, 2017 Great article. Thought I would try to fix my original. turns out it was the copper commentator the brushes ride on was corroded. Also the plug...after sitting 32 years in a barn. Found this quick fix on the filthy plug. CLR soak. 20 min. Here is a before and after.

REMNANT Posted June 13, 2017 Share #114 Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) If you can't get to a bone yard or pick a part...I found an awesome fix for slow early z wipper motors. First I cleaned inside the motor. Commentator and brushes. New grease where needed. And then bi-passed the LR power lead to motor with direct 12v from battery with 30/40 relay and 30a fuse. Works amazing...even on dry window.
