    in Parts Wanted

    Posted

    I have some lowering springs for a 280z I bought some in a suspension set, and when I removed the suspension off my car it was all aftermarket already., Ill have to try to find the time and ill get some pics for you this weekend or next I have finals this week and next.

    Word ive done 3 on 280zs and they've all worked with parking and int. But then again every car is different, they might have wiring issues or have some weird motor from the cars listed above. Who knows but even if $140 is more than i paid on my honda motors, its still not that bad.

    Looking at buying a 1977 280Z

    You gotta judge your area and how frequent they come up. Down here they are semi frequent, I have found a real rust free original paint 77 280z for $700. It didnt run, but with a couple hundred it did. Then I just picked up a 71' 240 with minimal rust for 1300, and it ran. My secret is just waiting and watching. If they arent frequent then it might be harder to find the best deal, as every car that comes up will have more interest and itll take forever if you keep passing on them. Good luck and imo z cars are worth alot more than they can be bought for.

    Ill double check this when I get home just to make sure im remembering it correctly, and Ill add a diagram of what is what incase your wiring is different and you have to figure it out,as its easier to figure out a circuit difference than the difference in car make/models.

     

    Sorry I decided not to further complicate things by adding another diagram, as Ive done this mod 3 other times just using my last post's diagram. I picked myself up a 71 and a 72 240z so I should be attempting this again soon, and Ill relay any differences between the models, other than whats covered already.

    Hello Folks, I bring 2 pieces of good news. After looking at multiple spider legged 91 civic motor, I started doing some digging. It turns out I can verify the motor is the correct motor in a 92+ civic, which broadens the scope to:

    ACURA INTEGRA GS (1997 - 2001)

    ACURA INTEGRA GSR (1994 - 2001)

    ACURA INTEGRA LS (1994 - 2001)

    ACURA INTEGRA RS (1994 - 1998)

    ACURA INTEGRA SPECIAL EDITION (1995 - 1996)

    ACURA INTEGRA TYPE-R (1997 - 2001)

    HONDA CIVIC CX (1992 - 1995)

    HONDA CIVIC DEL SOL S (1993 - 1997)

    HONDA CIVIC DEL SOL SI (1993 - 1997)

    as well as 92-95 civic dx and ex's.

    Now with this list there is a word of caution: The wrong motor might still be on the listed cars, but in the right place. So take EXTRA care The spider motors were inside the engine bay and didnt resemble thr right motor making it easy to spot them right away...The wrong motor is not the spider type but resembles the right 3 legged motor very closely. They are both under the plastic trim near the firewall/windshield I pulled the wrong motor out of a 94 civic. One difference I noted before I pulled out the second motor, is that from the back/top of the motor the right motor has its wire bunch going on top of its neck while the worng one didnt. the right one also has 3 mounting holes in a triangle while the wrong one only has 2 and a 3rd post with no threads in it. Study the pictures of the right motor before you go. Having a motor built in 2001 in a 70s car....Priceless Also these motors have the right shaft so you can just drill the mounting holes and bolt it in.

    And next piece of good news... Here is the wiring for a 280z using stock delay module:

    77' Datsun 280Z __________________ 92' Honda civic wiper motor

     

    ---------------------------_________Pin 86 -----blue/white

     

    Yellow/black--------Pin 87A ________ Pin 87-------blue

     

    ----------------------------________ pin 30--------Chassis Ground

     

    Blue/red----------------pin 85---------pin 85----------green/black

     

    Black----------------------to------------------black

     

    Blue/yellow----------------to-------------------blue/yellow

     

    Fast, slow speed, intermit. and park all work with this setup. Ill double check this when I get home just to make sure im remembering it correctly, and Ill add a diagram of what is what incase your wiring is different and you have to figure it out,as its easier to figure out a circuit difference than the difference in car make/models. You can also buy a 4 prong relay if its all you can find instead of the 5, just put 280z yellow/blk and civic motor blue on the same 87 prong. Enjoy those bolt in 2001 motors that work with all settings and stock windshield wiper stalk control hehehehe AWESOME.
