Started a new little project with my bro to install the two spare FCR41’s I have to his newly rebuilt 510. He sourced a Nissan SU manifold for only $50. I spent time yesterday sand blasting and cleaning up the ports with a dremel lol. My first try at porting, so hopefully it’s ok. It’s going on a stock L20B with a brand new V912 head running a 72 degree cam. Mikuni couplers will need to be ordered but I think they’ll bolt straight on to the manifold studs. We might also have a look at port matching the manifold now it’s been buzzed a little. Looking to run it with the gold Keihin ‘power blade’ velocity stacks. They’re 50mm long, 65mm at the opening and run a blade half way through the stack. It’s meant to improve air speed at low to half throttle. The hardest thing will be fuel supply as the FCRs run plastic T pieces that are held in by the adjacent carb, now the spacing has changed we need a new solution.

Hi Guys, Having put up with a dicky starter motor for a while it was time to look for a new one. I have 3x 40 plus year old starters with issues and I was quoted an amount to fix them which was more than buying a new one. I ordered a gear reduction starter from one company but he cancelled the Ebay order saying that couriers would not pick up from his address because of the Covid-19 situation. I then ordered for another company which supplied me a nice starter which was smaller and lighter than the original. $140.00 plus $22.50 standard delivery from Thomastown in Victoria. I think it spins the engine quicker than the old starter. I'm stoked. If anyone is in the market for a new starter I would suggest that they look at these. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Starter-Motor-Nissan-240K-240Z-L24-2-4L-260C-260Z-L26-2-6L-280C-L28-2-8L-Petrol/282603946312?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 Happy motoring David

Thanks very much mate. From my research or your posts, I thought so too but wasn’t confident enough to tell the guy what I thought. Thanks for helping make sure I didn’t waste my time going to see it.

Hi Iridium plugs are all about longer life. Changing plugs in some modern cars can take a few hours. As an example, the BRZ/86 requires you to loosen engine mounts in order to have the plugs clear the chassis rails. Cheers PB
