I wonder if these are the Kobe Seiko 8-spoke wheels that Alan was referencing?

 

NB: No Watanabe logo..

Yes, they are the Nissan Race/Sports Option magnesium 8-spokes manufactured by Kobe Seiko. They were first listed for the 432-R to be paired with the 432-R's overfenders (so they actually pre-date the 240ZG).

 

These are the ones that everybody and his dog mistakes for RS Watanabe 8-spokes in old photos...

Didn't realise Great Wall utes contained any steel components  :)

Anyone know of any other pickapart wreckers where you can take the parts off yourself in Sydney.

There doesn't seem to be many around and none with the seals like they get in Vic. of "everything you can carry for $50" type deals.

not ebay, but spotted these, triple Mikuni 40mm carbs with intake manifold

 

what would these be worth here?

I have a pair of that style of 40mm Mikuni's, I was going to source a third to make a set of 3 and offer them for around $1,500 AUD.

ah right, but i assume without the manifold? just trying to get an idea of prices on things, and see what my options are when i start to upgrade things on the L26.

I have been planning to bring stuff in for a while but my contact in the US still hasn't given me a price list with everything we chatted about when I was last over there and to be honest I haven't pushed him as I've had expenses on my end recently and still have a couple of outstanding bills to cover. So in the short term no, but my point of contact over there knows the seller so next time I've over that way I'll see if I can go past and see what's in stock and if I can arrange to ship to a port within the US for import here.

 

So short answer is not yet.

Long answer is in future yes probably.
