Datfish Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I fought this bitch for awhile before realizing it is not correct for my L16 73 620. Been apart for 5 years...now rebuilding. Looked at pics online and this one’s nose is too small, solenoid is in wrong place (hits dipstick) barely fits in but I never got the top bolt in. It HAD to have been on there...can’t believe I didn’t notice how wrong it was during tear down. i’m Gonna order a new one I guess. https://imgur.com/a/6IXnM 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Get a gear reduction starter from a 280zx or a Maxima. 1 Quote Link to comment
Dolomite Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 If you had the trans and engine apart recently , try slightly loosening the trans bolts a little. I’ve had problems getting the starter bolts in, they went right in after I loosened the trans, the thin plate between the two can get slightly shifted and cause problems. This obviously only applies if you’re positive that’s the starter that was in it beforehand. 1 Quote Link to comment
Datfish Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 The nose is so small it doesn't even fit the opening anyway, so unless it's just the outer radius jamming it.... it doesn't even fill the hole in the plate, some of it remains exposed with starter inserted. It's a really tight fit anyway, and I don't like it hitting the dipstick. Does it look like a Maxima starter? I have to remember how to make the imgur pics show up without clicking. 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 TSI Automotive has nice Gear reduction starters(brand new Denso) for a L motor 1 Quote Link to comment
Dolomite Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 It’s similar to the maxima starter but the solenoid looks to be clocked differently. My maxima starter solenoid doesn’t interfere with anything. 1 Quote Link to comment

Datfish Posted April 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 I wonder how it ever ended up on there...weird 1 Quote Link to comment
