bamble Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hey All, I am looking for a reliable mechanic in Wellington that isn't scared off by carburetors. I have a datsun 1600 SSS that I am looking to get tuned (orig L16, twin SU carbs). Also potentially looking for a suspension place too if you have recomendations. Any ideas? Cheers, -- ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyteler Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Find yourself the local British car enthusiast garage (MGA, MGB, etc). They'll hate that you have a Japanese car but they will be able to tune your SU's so crisply that it won't matter their thoughts about the car itself. That's how I got mine done. "Blardy Japanese SUs" but he got them running so well it was ridiculous. I'd spent hours myself trying to sort it using books and my derp brain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
