N0RCALDIME Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 get a weber. YAY! otherwise i dont know Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Z therapy can rebuild them for some $$$$$$ Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 ZTherapy should sell you just the parts too. They've also got a video to show you how to rebuild them. The stock two barrel carb rebuild kits are cheaper than the weber kits, but the carb is a bit more involved. Quote Link to comment
240ADAM Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Try to get some rebuild kits for a 240Z, I think the internals for those carbs are the same. Quote Link to comment
Lozer Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 try some brit shops too they ran the same carbs in the 60's http://www.jetlink.net/~okayfine/su/parts.html http://www.joecurto.com/ Quote Link to comment
wagonsun Posted April 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 thanks for the help. i found out its 180.00 for a kit from z therapy, but i also kinda like the idea of getting a 'new' set from them to bolt on there instead. a little more spendy though... how extensive is the rebuild of a set of su's?

mklotz70 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 They're not that bad to rebuild, but you have to keep in mind that ZTherapy rebuilds the throttle shafts with ball bearings and seals. No matter how good you rebuild it, you'll never be able to compensate for a worn/wobbly throttle shaft. Quote Link to comment
wagonsun Posted April 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 yeah that is true. i did find a place here in town that will rebuild them for about 470. i think z-therapys about 630 for their setup... decisions, decisions. i guess i did just get my tax return though ;) Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Does the other place put ball bearins in the base plate? Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 http://www.minimania.com Good site, lots and lots of su parts. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Hitachi sidedrafts are not SUs. Even among hitachis there were at least four different rebuild kits... Yes, some of the SU gaskets are the same, but the rebuild kits are different. Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) You are correct. Didn't say he had Hitachis. Either way, story is the same. Get the kit that fits. Edited May 5, 2009 by ggzilla Quote Link to comment
wagonsun Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 thanks again guys. i found a good datsun shop here in town that bought up a bunch of overstock when they started to discontinue parts. doesnt sell kits but rebuilds the carbs, just gonna go that route. Quote Link to comment
