This great part and more are now available at uniqueautocreations.com !

Hey everyone. I've been meaning to make a wiper motor cover for the S14 like the S13 one I made but I have a problem. I don't own / have access to an S14 so I don't have a motor for the mach up. So rather than going to the wrecking yard and buying one I thought I'd see if anyone was interested in sending me their spare motor they might have laying around. I need one in good shape, no dents, cracked frame, busted connector, etc. but it doesn't have to work. Whoever gives me one I'll send them a cover in return at no cost to them for hooking me up. Just know that I won't return the motor as I need it to put the mounting holes in the covers.

It should take me 3-4 weeks to have the first run made as I am still working on the S13 Cup Holders right now. I just want to get this project going too being there is a lot of set-up time between stages of the fabrication process.

Here's a link to the S13 wiper motor cover Ad so you can get an idea of what it will look like. http://zilvia.net/f/sale-items/440645-s13-wiper-motor-cover.html

Thanks for your help.

Blueshark's motor should be here next Monday so I'll be able to start on them next week. I imagine the price should be about the same, so no worries there.

Just another brace you can buy

The wiper cover is still a nice finishing touch to those that don't wanna spend $200 and/or run these.

That's a really clean bay. Now I understand what it is. Thanks

I received the motor from blueshark on Friday and I started on it today. I got it cleaned up this morning and began to take all the undercuts out of it. Right now I have a rough form of what it will be. Next up is lots of plaster work until I get the final shape out of it. I'm hoping to play with it some more this next week.

Could someone post a couple of good pics of the motor installed on an S14. There's a body seam on the firewall that looks really close to the bottom of the motor and like I said earlier, I don't have easy access to one. I just need a better understanding of how much clearance I have down there. Thanks

Thanks! That's pretty good. Man that thing is close to the seam, but what about the other lower bolt. The one in the shadow. Is it that close too? Looks like I have my work cut out for me.

This is what I've got done so far. It'll be the model I use to make the form for the final product. I'm still a couple weeks off before they are ready.

Oh and you have enough space between the body seam and the motor i was looking at it the under day you have atleast half a inch clearance all around

riprodder
04-17-2012, 06:57 PM
Thanks for that info. The two motors seem to be the same form the pictures but the connector is definitely different. What, did Nissan decide that the cleaner looking Zenki motor wasn't ugly enough, so they stuck some wires out of the case and tacked the connector on like an afterthought. Usually it's the other way around. I guess I'm making Zenki motor covers then.

Great idea!!! Wish I came across your thread a lot earlier. Let me know if I can help with anything because I have both Zenki and Kouki wiper motors that I can lend to you for FREE! I'm right down the road from you. :coolugh:

haha fuck, I'll buy one and hack it up to fit. Or I'll just do an ultra elite relocation of that ugly ass connector pin to the inside of the cabin.

I've made some good progress this week. I now have the first prototype cover made and am meeting a fellow tomorrow to test fit it. If it goes well, then I can start making the production forms I need to make multiple parts. I'll post a pic tomorrow of what it looks like if I get the chance. We're getting close!

Here's some pics of what they look like. You'll have to excuse the pic of the one installed. I couldn't get the right light on it and my camera kept flashing, but you can get the idea.

I wish they covered the entire motor like the s13 one but oh well still looks cool.I will just texture coat my motor to match the cover then. Let me know when to shoot you over my address.

Actually both covers leave the round black section open. I designed it this way so it wouldn't overhead while in use. Also sorry to say but I think it's going to be another week because I've been car shopping this week and haven't made much more progress. I'm glad to see everyone so excited though. It's nice knowing that I'm making something that's not just cool to me.

If I coulda seen this earlier, I woulda told you if you wanted to see my S14 Kouki.. So you would have a better idea.. Im located in S. fort worth area, and im very interested in one.. let me know bro

riprodder
07-26-2012, 07:15 PM
Sorry but I'm not planning on making one for the Kouki. The way the connector hangs off the body makes it really hard to make a cover for it but you can still have the clean look of the cover by retrofitting a Zenki motor and wiring connector onto your car.
