mlracing.co.nz Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'll see if I can dig up some photos of it and we'll see if it's the same - had a pretty hard life. Was the fastest car I'd driven until a friend got a WRX STi Type RA.Haha cool, I think it used to have white 17s on it or something as well back in the day. No doubt it's had a hard life but it's still kicking! How'd you get to Rocky Auto? Very nice. Good to see those mats in that Rocky Auto car Had Ewan drive us there, that was my first trip over.

jsnapsnz Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hah what a noob, I've now "discovered" the discussion links Seeing your Hako makes me think fondly of Watanabe-san @ Fun2Drive taking me for a spirited hoon in their rental Hako. Not sure if it had the L28 but it sure went well, would leave my AE behind - "Six cirinder is best!" - I might just agree with him Are you on the hunt for an OS Giken head?

kyteler Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 40's would be too small for a big cam'd L28, buuuuuuuddy. Not so sure I would trust that piece of info about them. Will be interesting to see how they go but I would say at a guess that they suit your current motor better than an L28 with a cam but even so, they'll need tuned regardless. Fuel & air differences mean you will not get away with leaving them closed if you want any useful performance from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlracing.co.nz Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'll just clean them up and jam them on the L28 see how it goes. No major (except for the cost) if I need to take them off and replace them with something bigger. Also did play with the idea of putting them on the current L20..

kyteler Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Definitely try them on as quickly as possible... I now expect to see some L20 triple carb dorts videos very soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam-B Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 You sure the original wiper motor is totally fried? Its pretty unusual for electric motors to completely die but i guess your car is pretty old. Ive had good success pulling motors apart and cleaning them, normally the armature gets clogged up in the gaps with carbon where the brushes make contact. Clean the copper up with really fine wet dry 1200 grit and get all the gunk out of the gaps with brake clean. Might be worth a shot before trying to make a S13 one fit (and that looks way off to be honest) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example if the wipers are not on the windscreen then it will go but still shittily, however when the wipers are on the windscreen sometimes it can't even move them. I could take it all apart and have a poke, and it's definitely still an option. I agree, I think that S13 one is a no hoper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakesae101 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 have you checked all the power feeds and switches ect or tried powering directly to make sure its getting all the juice it needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Or re grease all the joints in the linkages? Could be dry and binding up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Do all of these things but then also keep in mind that even when new, they wouldn't have performed as well as modern wipers. Because old car. Just be thankful they're not vacuum operated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 vac wipers are fine, as long as you dont need to use them while going up hill or ever i had the same issue with wipers not working when touching the screen on a morris 1800 turns out the battery was stuffed and the generator was barely keeping up probably its an issue with an earth, best to poke around with a multimeter and confirm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlracing.co.nz Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 What would be the recommended way to test the earth/circuit? Just make sure it's getting solid 12v? Or would it be better to test for resistance? I still reckon there's a problem with the motor anyway, it looks like the original one. Also lols about the vacuum wipers, I remember my mum talking about those and said it was pretty scary when it was raining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
