Hi. I have a pair of Italian made 42mm webers for sale. I purchased them about three years ago form an avid member of this forum. I've kept them all this time as spares for my race car, but no longer need them as I have started playing with EFI.

They were apparently kitted before I bought them and look pretty good. They have short plastic trumpets (I'm not a fan of them) but they would be fine for most fast street engines. There also a pair of air cleaners I can throw in but they need new foam filters.

Main jets 130
Emulsion tubes F11
Air corrector jets 165
Idle Jets 50-F8

Anyone interested?

Diddo. You know, apart from the blocks going in near the end of the straight, theres still heaps of vacant land around that area. Its not like it was the only place to put a housing estate! The chequered flags used in the logo of the housing estate company geats my goat up too! AHOLES!

I've had three hobbies in my life to date. Flying model aeroplanes when I was a young, flying real aeroplanes when I was 16 to 22. Then racing since then. Every single hobby has been ruined by people buying houses near these places then immediately complaining about noise or safety..."oh my god I thought the plane was going to drop from the sky and land my my kids..would somebody think of the kids boo hoo hoo!".

Guess who is now complaining about people enjoying (*enthusiatically*) driving their cars on public roads. Probably the same load-mouth mother-of-two bitch from paragraph 2.

Don't get me started on the Homebush circuit: The official attendance announced was 184,856 @ $40/ticket = $7.4 million on the first weekend! If it was a proper circuit it would have paid for itself in a few years and be open to everybody-everyday, not the lucky few for one weekend per year. And what a garbage circuit anyway...nothing but 90 degree bends on part-bitumen/part-concrete/part-manhole surfaces surrounded by concrete walls and fences.

Theres a new push for a new track in the Wyong area. See the following link from the JSCC site: http://www.jscc.asn.au/index.php?opti ... d=19:jscc-events&Itemid=2
It will be absolutely awesome to see this track be built, but I'm not holding my breathe. A similar track was planned North of Newcastle for well over a decade. The last I heard they couldn't get it through council because there was no turning lane to get back onto the main road. A pity. The council actually upgraded that road a few years back well after the submission, but before this excuse.

This seems a bit excessive to me! What do you think?

Also:

- Datsun 1000 front hubs in perfect nick. These are the same as 1200 drums hubs and has a -5mm offset compared to 1200 disk hubs. Ideal for anyone mucking around with a brake upgrade and wants a different offset. Nissan U12 front rotors are vented 256mm hat style and fit straight on. U12 rears rotors are same dimensions and solid. $20

- 6 inch subwoofer. About 8 years old but never used. Comes with a Pioneer 2 channel amp. $30

- Microtech LT-8 ECU. Apparently in working order but I haven't had it running myself. I'm not sure what these things are worth these days. Make an offer.

Bits for sale:

- Original A10 engine. Was in running order but with a blown head gasket (had a minor water leak into one cylinder). It needs a new head gasket and a couple head bolts. Easy repair. $200

- Used A10 clutch and flywheel. $20

- Datsun 1000 coupe seats, front and rear. Front is missing the head rests only, rear is complete. Both need reupholstering. $Free

- Datsun 1000 steering column to dash mounting bracket (2-piece). Also have a factory-looking plastic plate that mounts over this and permits the installation of two switches. I haven't seen one of these plates on any other 1000 before. $20

- A10 carbie and original inlet manifold. Good working order. $30

- Datsun 1200 ute brakes (not complete). Includes the backing plates, slave cylinders, mounting hardware, springs, etc. I had to ditch the shoes because they were oil soaked due to a faulty axle seal. Would suit someone looking for a rear brake upgrade without going overboard. $50

- Standard A14 inlet and exhaust manifold. $10.

All located in Maryland NSW (near Newcastle).

I'm interested. Can you explain what they are please...L-series, e-series, etc.

Group N?....Don't you have to run 4 wheel drums and a two barrel down-draught carby?

I looked into this sort of thing about 4 or 5 years back. From memory, I think the E15 rods are 133mm centre to centre and use a 40mm big end journal size (rather than 45mm on a-series). I was going to use E15 Turbo rods as they were beefy looking forged jobs.

The costs and difficulties associated with offset grinding turned me off the idea. Oh, and it was about that time that we stripped the race A15 and found two cracked journals, so the idea of machining them down 5mm sounded about silly.

Have you thought of running the E16 crank?? I think its stroke is 88mm and will negate the machining process plus suit the e-series rods perfectly. I haven't tried an e-series crank into an a-series block so don't know what difficulties, if any, you will encounter.
