farfromparadise Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 HI Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction... I need to get some new Needles and Jets or nozzels for my original Hitachi/SU carbs off a 1973 240z... when looking for the nozzels i was told that the 240z came with hitachi carbs not SU however in the handbook i have they are labled SUs.... i was just wondering if someone could clear this up for me as i'm unsure as to what i should be looking for.... Have contacted the main carbie group up here in Brisbane and they told me to hit up the forums as they are unable to locate them.... Any help would be greatly appreciated... Cheers Josh Quote
Huw Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 ok, this is how i understand it..... The name SU refers to Skinners Union, they were originally created by some british chaps, and were used on a lot of the English cars..... The datsun carburettors are a japanese COPY of the SU's. So technically speaking they are Hitachi SU's.... the best explanation of them I've found was on: http://zparts.com/ As far as nozzlesetc go, u can get the nozzle for the fuel bowl from Nissan, you can also get 'fuel miser' kits from some carburettor shops. I got mine from a place down in Cheltenham Road in Melbourne (will try to remember name) think it was round $80. anyway, hope that helps. better stop procrastinating and do my asignment :-) Huw Quote
