Nismo280zEd Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 yeah it's an intermitten relay pretty much, plugs in after the wiper motor. I could honestly careless if intermitten works or not on my car, i'm just glad to have wipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 305240 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Can someone repair the pic links of Nismo280zED's in process of installation? They seemed to have gone bye-bye after the site upgrade. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandonsZ Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Noe of the links in all 9 pages of this string work. However I got the jist of the information here. **** Well guys sorry to keep you hanging. The 94 Honda accord wiper motor is very easy install. I am very happy with the results. Currently i do not have the intermitten part hooked up, but i do not care to hook it up either. I have wipers!!! Anyways the install is very clean ground out the wiper arm a little to match the angle of the wiper motor bolt on the accord. Bought a nut from sears couple washers... bam wipers. 3spd wipers. With a lifetime gaurentee on the motor. Does it get much better? the Honda motor even uses the same screws as the Z motor to mount it! just have to redrill on the plate. New fast wipers 120 bucks... i'm very happy. -Ed Ok boys. I bought mine new from the local automive store (O'Reilys) here was 120 i think with a lifetime warranty. (I can check the reciept if you want the exact) This is a farely straight forward mod as long as you don't screw up. With that said this is what i did. Start off by modifying the wiper arm as this takes the longest. Upon removing the arm and motor out of the car make a note as to which side of the arm faces toward the motor. You do not want to grind the wrong side.. then you are very screwed. Now on the side facing the motor you want to take a file and file away at the metal to achieve an angled circle that matches up with the angle on the motor this takes about an hr depending how familar you are with filling. After you get the arm to match the motor and it is on the correct side you need to modify mounting bracket that the motor mounts to. Position the honda motor over the bracket the same way the Z motor mounted notice that some metal on the bracket prohibits the motor from mounting flat on the bracket. I took a hacksaw to mine and cleaned it up with the grinder. (keep in mind this was done the day before i was to go to lubbock so just getting it together was the priority, not how clean hidden plates look.) After removing this metal the motor should be able to sit flat and square on the mounting bracket. Now that the motor can sit flat notice how the three holes to mount the honda motor are almost in the same location as the Z motor was, just in a tighter circle. I put some grease where the holes are on the motor and carefully placed it in the center of the circle. When you remove the motor, the grease marks where the new mounting holes need to be. I was in a hurry and misdrilled my second hole. So i used the first one.... sloted the second and third, this ended up working very well alowing me to center the motor to my liking. After you do that all you have to do is bolt up the arm to the motor put it back in the way it came out. Easy as pie. It's easier for me to just show you how to wire it up instead of telling you, I will try to draw something up and post it tomorrow or saturday if i can figure out the new upload setup. Ok well this is the general write up... hopefully take some pics tomorrow in the light. My wiring is only temporary right now, like i said i did this the day before i left for Lubbock. Also only high speed and low speed are noted here... when power is given to both then you get your third speed. Medium i guess you would call it. I'm guessing the other slots are for the intermitten relay on the Honda, I left my Honda book at home so i can't look it up right now. If it helps you any, I do know that the controller for the intermittent wipers is a LOT like that for the turn signals; it uses the little metal strip that gets hot & breaks the circuit, the makes it again when it cools. I've been told by an auto elec that the smaller and lighter 280ZX one bolts in. That's all I know *** At least you won't have to read through 9 pages of broken links.

Owen Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I did the install a while back...just wondering, can a turn sig flasher can be used to intermittently send a signal to the wipers? I mean, it's just voltage going to either a light or a motor right? Will probably need a relay tho. Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nismo280zEd Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Wow guys... sorry to hear such bad luck, Sorry the pics don't work, I don't have a site to host them, you shoulda just pmed me for them. This install is really not that complicated. Sorry to hear the switch is outta stock, was just trying to help you intermitten guys out. I personally just like the fact i can drive through rain now. If there is somebody here who can host the pics IM me, i'll try to find the old ones and i'll edit the links so there are pics. -Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 305240 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Ed, I have the pics somewhere, because I refer to them often for others. I think I have them stored on another club or my puter somewhere. I know I have them in hard copy. My hat is off to you for being the man! I picked up my wiper motor off ebay for 10 bux. I may have to get another one. I got a 76 project in the works waiting patiently. JcWhitney sells 2 different switches on the cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nismo280zEd Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Alright, this is even cheaper and should be even easier to wire into the Z. 18 bucks for intermittent wipers http://www.apogeekits.com/windshield_wipers.htm let me know if those are all sold out or back order etc. and i'll find something else. -Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I just received the three HELLA wiper relays I ordered today. These are the ones that a link was provided for in the above posts in this thread. I ordered three of them, one for myself, and two extras, that are already sold. Now I belive I can finish up my Honda wiper motor Hybrid swap, as shown above in my picture links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
