I actually think that at Brian's time of life he has made an astute decision so fair play to him.
Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
Ok, onwards and upwards - your journey starts now Graham and it's a complete contrast to GTR ownership I'm sure.
I reckon 99% of their clients have cars with bleed valves, some pipes that scream, giant hairdryers, them electronic ECU thingies that you can now plug into your smart phone and download an APP to perform live road mapping etc:lol:
SRR are a good RR outfit, agreed. Not sure if carb tuning is something they have knowledge of TBH. Sometimes you get an old school mechanic who will tinkle with base settings of the the carbs and then hire the RR for fine tuning. Might be an option but could be doubly expensive.
You should've just done a straight swap for the GTR
Absolute Legend!!!
Piece of trivia for you - the exhaust on that car (MSA) used to be on mine, until I switched to the JDM twin pipe setup a couple of years ago...
Yes, Fujitsubo 6-2 SuperEX manifold and the LegalisR exhaust. Full stainless twin pipe with stacked tips.
very nice.... seen them on Alans replica 432 car very very nice!
That is a car I would love to have a look at, finished or otherwise.
Chaps.. Uuup Norf here we have a brilliant outfit called noble motorsports they are in chesterfield they can tackle any car.. maybe you have seen the Noble race car?
They will be looking at my tuning in the new year. its great up norf.. tha knows.
so I could sit over the M25 near Greenford and watch it on its way to you
Thanks, but will need to find some down south in my area for the future, so may as well start now.
The OEM HItachi HJG46Ws are - in principle - a very simple and effective design. Unless they are worn out ( the throttle shafts tend to leak air a bit after 40+ years...) you might find it interesting / informative to have a go at optimising them yourself. Why not? Unlike your R35, the S30 is something that you can work on yourself...
Arm yourself with some factory literature ( the factory service manual for the L20A & L24 engines has a great chapter on the carbs ) to read in bed / in the bath / on the bus, roll your sleeves up and have a twiddle. What harm?
If it turns out they are 'tired' you can get refurbed ones from Z Therapy in the USA, but I have a feeling that temptation and those whispering "...I can sell you just what you need..." voices will get you to go to mapped EFI in the end...
