240Z: Door back in for alignment, Blower motor reworked, new NOS parts
This post is going to be a little summary of the weeks happenings. I have some more good and bad news from the bodyshop first:
The good thing: My Panelbeater yves put the door back in for aligment and thus it still has a lots of panels missing, a door already makes the car look like – ummm – a car again 🙂
Then the bad news: Someone crashed into his car (the one below is the one who hit him), so he’s currently suffering from a whiplash injury and of course his recovery his priority first. Not sure what that means for my car. probably will not be worked on for a while again…
The very next day my Buddy Stev visited a guy who is currently selling a lot of NOS datsun parts:
He brought this little Oil pressure Sensder unit for me, but i have to check if it’s really for the Z since i have the feeling my ones look more cylindric istead of this “Church-bell” design.
And then i reworked the new Blower motor (See last post), to fit my needs. First removed the old Motor cover which was silver.
Painted it black with some rattle can spray:
Ordered some new rubber grommets which will fit since the old blower has different hole sizes.
Here i have them installed together with the metal sleeves from the old blower inside:
Here you can see the old insulationg foam ring and i wanted to recreate something similar.
And here’s my result. boaght some foam-tape and installed it. Doesn’t look as nice as the original one but since it will not be visible once installed im fine with that 🙂
And last but not least i had a little running-test with a 12V DC supply just to see if everything’s fine. and it is 😀 – Blower motor: Completed!

it seems the blower fan is not the right one. i have the same motor and it is blowing air the opposite direction.

Sure it will work perfectly and in the correct direction, once you switch the wires 🙂
see my post about it here: https://www.jdmjunkies.ch/wordpress/2016-03-05/240z-honda-blower-upgrade-motor/

It’s not about switching wires, the blades on the fan itself are in reverse direction compared to the z ones.

Actually I bought mine based on this built thread, once I got it I found that it won’t work, This one for Integra and we need the one for th civic.

Wow that sounds great. however i have two complete sets of doors that are in quite good shape so i think it’s not worth to have doors shipped across whole europe 🙂
However do you have other NOS bodypanels for sale? might be interrested, specially in floorpanels, chassis beams, inner fender wells, rear lower panel etc… but generally i’m interrested in anything 🙂
