Hi! Not sure if I'm correct here, just joined the group.
A solid 2 months ago I bought a lovely 1997 300ZX Z32 in a beautiful purple color. It's been a great car so far and I love it with all my soul as it's the first sports car I've owned since I am only 20 🤣
I did encounter a problem yesterday after work though. My front windshield wipers always worked with no problem, showing no signs of giving up. Then, on my way home from work, as I turned them on in the rain, they swiped once and then stopped working. I pulled over to check if turning the car on and off would solve it, which it didn't. I was able to freely move them around but as soon as they reached the top position (vertically infront of my view), they blocked there completely.
I replaced the fuse and checked the relay, both of which don't seem to have any issues. When I try to turn the wipers on, all I hear is the motor or the relay seemingly clicking twice before going quiet.
The washers however work, and tge rear wiler as well with no issues.
What could the problem be?

Chaps:
Its time for that big service for my Z. From what I can find this involves...
Spark Plugs - what type do I get fitted (Std/Hot/Cold)? Im running stock +Induction +Cat Back Exhaust.
Fuel Filter - easy enough.
Oil & Filter - again, nothing new here.
From the list of 'front end of engine' bits....
Timing Belt
Auto-Tensioner
Thermostat
Water Outlet Hoses (x2)
Water Pump
Water Pump Gasket
Alternator Belt
A/C Belt
Power Steering Belt
Cam Seals (x4)
Main Seal
Intake Cam Sprocket O-rings (x2)
Intake Cam Sprocket Springs (x2)
Main Crank Sprocket
Crank Rear Spacer
I assume all this IS neccessay. Advice/comments anyone? Any stuff not woth doing? Any stuff that should also be done?
Also, inspection of
Fuel lines
Brake lines & cambles
Brake pads & rotors
Transmission fluid & differential gear oil
Steering gear & linkage, axle & suspension parts
Steering linkage ball joints & front suspension ball joints
Super HICAS linkage on turbo models
Exhaust system
Again, anything from anyone elses experience that should/could be done at this expensive and worrying time?
Just looking for your input/experiences with this guys incase theres anyhting Ive missed or should look out for.
