How much are you looking to spend? These have risen in price alot over the last year or two

Hi...I have Brand New 50mm Mikunis, with mikuni manifold, linkages and stacks. Asking $7,500 for the set. (these are brand new, never used). Ping me if interested. I have 2 sets left for anyone else that may be interested.

 

Thank you.

[gerrardq]

Budget depends of variables, case by case evaluation on what's on offer.

[gerrardq]

$7,500 is ridiculous, thanks for the offer, I'm sure someone can see the value in them.

 

Cheers

Cheap actually. The same people who see the value in them know that Mikuni's and Webers don't look the same I suppose? But since you posted a photo of Webers and not Mikuni's I'm guessing you don't see the value. No problem.

But if you like, refer to here so you know what you're looking at.

It sounds like a late set of webers (new) would be your best bet.

I picked up on the pic of the webers too and had a little chuckle knowing that someonr would say something but, I have to agree with gerrardq, $7500 for a set of triples is ridiculous in my mind.

2 sets!?!?! That's just greedy

It's all dependent on context for a period race car and race engine 50mm Mikuni's are rare enough that they demand a Premium price, they always have relative to other 44's etc.. Given the recent rise in values of other S30Z cars and parts it's no surprise that the 50's have shot up.

 

Even 44's are now fetching $3-4K AUD sometimes more..

 

As for how they all perform, I'd love to see back to back tests between Weber, Mikuni, SK, Solex, SUs, Dellorto's on a dyno and on the same engine being road driven to see how they all compare in terms of progression and drivability / stumbling / AFRs and of course power band etc.. but perhaps that's a dream? From what I've read most people rave about the Mikuni's.

[gerrardq]

Google has failed me when getting the image on a phone, whoops.

I had in mind of spending up to $3k, $7.5k amazes me!

Not interested in webers.

[240Z_au]

Thanks guys... If anyone has any links to brand new 50's with manifold being sold, anywhere in the world, let me know please. I want to buy them all and have a monopoly on Mikunis

[Enzo]

Good investment. Everything goes up with time. If I had spare cash I would be doing the same.

I have a pair of Type R 40mm Mikunis that I was looking to find a third matching body to make a set of Triples.

 

Would consider selling them for around $800 as a pair only.

If brand new, I'll take them.

[andyk_79]

If brand new, I'll take them.

Ummmm, am I missing something here? Would suggest that there haven't been any brand new sidedraft Mikunis for cars for a VERY long time

[gav240z]

No used, but in excellent shape (from what I can gather). Last 3 photos in this specific post.

CHEAP!!

I wouldn't let them go for anything less. If you can find the, buy them.

They are also not for whatever set up you'll be using anyway. If you require 50mm Mikuni's, it's a big dollar build!

 

My advice would be to go for 44PHH. They are MUCH better than 40's!

Just remember you get what you pay for. If you get them for anything under $2k. You'll expect to spend anothr $1k on getting them right.

There's been many stories about buying "rebuilt" and needing to have them rebuilt!

[gav240z]

I agree, however I think 40's can go alright also. Especially if running an L24 (not a larger L28).

Thank you, I'm guessing it is difficult to find a matching one?

[gerrardq]

This forum is awesome! I am well out of my league with Z knowledge and I really appreciate the help, 

 

I understand now that the 50's are the holy grail but my build and budget will never justify them, 

 

Would I be correct in assuming a mildly worked L28 is going to be complimented best by 44's if wanting to run triple Mikunis?

 

I have 2 complete engines, a L26 with N42 head and twin SUs and the other is a L28 with N42 and twin Hitachis, what's the thoughts on these Carbs and is the N42 the right head to work with? 

[gav240z]

Found a few, just none at a price that was right yet!

 

Search for ソレックス on Yahoo! Auctions (That's Solex in Japanese).

I'm not going to say what is best for your situation but what I can say is this.

I run a mild L28 with 40mm webers.

With 36mm chokes it was dyno'd at 216hp at the wheels, on the same day with 32mm chokes it was dyno'd at 210hp

When changing from 36 down to 32 chokes I gained 10hp at 3500 rpm, where my motor runs most of the time.

40mm webers are cheaper and more plentiful than their larger siblings, often round the $1.2k mark.

For me, if you are running a street car that dabbles in track work and is built at a budget, 40's all the way.

If you're building a hi-po L series, where 50's are justified, sounds like a very exxy build, I would be looking at injection personally.

If you want some Japanese carbs get yourself some oer/ sk carbs. You get then new for about $600 each from Japan. Stuart Wilkins and Peter MsDonald swear by them. Also there is a place in Melbourne that sells the 45 webers 152g which have a more progressive transition from idle to main circuit (apparently) that are $550 each.

[gerrardq]

What would be a reasonable price for a triple inlet manifold and linkages if I have 40mm Solex Mikunis?

I have found 4, 2 on a Toyota and 2 on a Mitsubishi, for what I have been told they are all matching.
