Was all set to go but the weather kept me away - soft I know

To keep the carbs from slipping down under vibration I fitted a support spring which kept tension on the top connecting rail of the carbs but still kept the vibration isolation.
Also fitted an O-ring between the the carbs and manifold ( same size ID as the silicon connecting hose ) which stopped any metal to metal contact.
Because I'm sqeezed for space in a Clubman 7 the carbs bowls were a little close to the headers than I'd like, so they got heat wrapped and a heat shield also for good luck.
Mik - what accelerator cable did you use ? - mine was a combo corolla/ suzuki to keep it low and under the hood

Had front and rear calipers, discs and suspension arms given to me so if anyone in Melbourne wants then or knows a Skyline owner ?.
Pretty sure they are off a non turbo R32- FREE - obviously pickup only
Photo to follow if anyone is interested - PM me

I saw this video too - bet he come off the bike a few inches shorter :0 - incredible

For the fuel pressure I used a standard faucet style electric fuel pump but found the pulses were bouncing the floats causing it to flood so I put it a smaller return line back to the tank and it worked a treat. I then ended putting the pump down the back of the car down low because I had issues with it self priming. - fixed
Jets are 17.5 pilot and 125 mains but have 5 more sets coming up to 155 so I have a choice when it go to dyno.

These are 36mm Mikuni RS flat slides with pumpers on a A15 with forged pistons, big valves , big ports ( bigger than a GX! ) Wade 140 cam, H rods , Crank - rods - pistons - A12 flywheel and 190mm clutch all balanced.
It was a job and half to make the manifold and all the other bits, but it came up a treat.
It pulls like a train and haven't even had it dynoed yet. You might have gathered i'm a little chuffed - so sorry about that.
This might bring on some hate but Im never going to bother with Webbers/Dellortos/Solexes again ( jets, emulsion tubes ,air corrrectors - all too complicated and expensive )

Thanks for that - on a aprevious post I was trying to get a 190mm plate with the 24t spline but the only suppliers were in the states that didnt ship to Aus so I'm looking down the 200m route
Cheers D

Techwiki says the flywheel needs to be machined to take the Pulsar 200mm clutch. Does this mean re-drilling the cover plate mounting hole positions as well as surfacing to take the larger plate?.
Cheers

Awsome - thanks very much for that - couldnt find it on techwiki
