Hi Guys
Looking for an S13 windshield wiper motor or if anybody can recommend a suitable replacement. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I contacted the agents and they quoted me R3461.17 incl. :shock:

Bargain. Buy two so you have a spare.

Yep, seems my baby is worth more in spares then as a car. Had her for 8 years now and hate not being able to drive her when it rains. C-thru does help a little when the boost withdrawal gets too bad.

Thanks Rat and Riekert. As far as I could tell their not the same.

If you have owned it for 8 years you should know better than to look for a new one in SA.

Import a new one, but that would be my last resort. Take it apart and rebuild/repair it - it is probably something small like a bad connection or worn out brushes.
That is the only advice anybody can give.

And for the record I also have a spare rear one, LOL

I am sure there is a scrapyard with a Sx in somewhere in Sa.

Thanks for the advice guys. [smilie=200sx_200sx.gif]

Took the motor apart and the plastic gear inside disintegrated. Found a guy on gumtree that rebuilds wiper motors. If I dont find a second hand one I'll probably have it rebuild, for now I'll be aplying liberal amounts of C-thru if the weather does not play along. :wink:
