240hoke Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Hey Guys, Ive seen a lot of talk about the honda wiper motor recently. IMO the Z motor is as good or BETTER just by looking at the size and the quality of the build. I have both and have taken them apart and compared them side by side. Just recently I got my windshield wipers working VERY well. The stock motor I had would barely move the windshield wipers and even off the car hooked to power it was very labored. I started taking the motor apart and found everything to be in great working order, the brushes were good, the windings looked great. The problem was the wiper drive shaft that goes through the housing. It was so corroded and gunked up I couldnt move it with my hand. I knocked it out with a punch and clean it up with sandpaper and steel wool, then relubed and reassembled. Took a total of 1 hour max and the motor works like new. I will take a video as soon as I can to show you how well the wipers work. The only reason I would upgrade is to have an intermittent feature but I think the 280z's had that anyway? Just my 2 cents.
