New Zealand Datsun Club

so my beast is now up and running, im extremely happy with the end result of me and my dads hard work and time.

so i pulled my wheels off to polish and paint the parts i needed to as they werent looking too grouse and i found out they are actually genuine ssr longchamps, awesome rims! heres pics up close before and after.

had a little bit of an impromptu race against my friends '97 ek4 civic with a screaming b16a the day we went to pick it up and my good old twin carb datsun was right beside his honda the whole way he had nothing on me.

Good shit dude!

Nice work! Are you happy with the new motors power over stock?

hell yeah, it wasnt slow from factory with the twin SU carbs but with the big cam and exhaust and dellortos just everything done to it, it pulls much better, it definitely throws you into your seat and i love scaring new "fast" cars

super happy with it just i do admit she costs a bit

ok so had my car on the dyno yesterday and jesus my carb jetting is so up the shit my air fuel ratio is just crap so at the time i made 60kw at the wheels but with alot of room for improvement with the right carb jetting and resetting the valve clearances

I think 45mm sidies would be best for what you are trying to do. Unless you've chocked them down heaps you won't have enough air speed. Bigger isn't always better...

i have 40mm with 28 chokes which i have been told is fine for what i have by the carburettor tuner in my town, its just too rich is all

40mm sidedraughts with 28mm chokes is pretty much what the stock 1171cc SSS's came out with so I would seriously question what you are being told. Have you talked to Franklins and got their advice? They are a great company to deal with.
I'm running 32mm chokes in my engine ( now out to 1500cc ) and that probably is getting to the limit of the 40mm sidedraughts.
I would have thought that twin 45's would have been about right or at the very least 32-34mm chokes on the 40's.
Cheers
