Aww! I had more to say. Jeez you got it bad. We got 3 cats. Our black ninja (mummy cat) got 3 large rats last summer and one was inside eating the cat food. It was then cornered under cabinet and shot. Bigboy (the son) caught 2 mice that we know of. I just love repairing rat chewed cables...not! OK, what was the topic?
All Nissans are racecars.

Andy has no carb manifolds left, in fact I think Pedey is using a "raw" and new unused Redline I owned.

Pedey the carbs look shit hot! You're on the right path, stick with the torque inducing intake manifold but design your own headers, use a flange to match or better your intake manifold thickness (this is important, thin flanges buckle and release), line it up good and talk to Anthony or Ricky regarding pipe length and design. Then coat them so you dont get the heat issue boiling your fuel.

Our car is using a beautiful japanese made (unsure of brand) inlet a little shorter than a redline but more suited to injection and certainly not as "sandy" as the redline is out of the box.

I do have an old exhaust manifold that would fit but it would only be good as a filler for now, small primaries, light flange and suffering from overdoses of AVGAS.

I knew you sold that one to Pedey ;) I was stating where all mine had gone ;)

Sounds like a plan Andy - if Peter wants to get the car going quickly with the aim of getting a new header then he should take you up on the old header you have there ;)

Pleased you are happy with the ITB and intake I sold you. As for brand....it is not a Kameari like most think - they just happen to sell them. They are made by HARADA SHOKAI

So I have attached some images of the different intakes - I could not find an image of the Sanyo/OER/Mikuni (they look to be all the same casting/design) however there is 2 x Sanyo type ones for the S30z and others for the Skylines aka KGC10

We went out and saw Peter at Custom Chambers today, he brought up a good point - as it turns out even if someone had something I could use it most likely wouldn't work due to our Z being left hook and the steering shaft fouling on the headers.- He's going to make up a fresh set.

right forgot about that for a bit - very good point then his turned headers should work as they are a replica of the USA version aka LHD.
