I'm loving this thread so far. I've got a project of my own going at the moment (not a Datsun) that I'm tackling in a similar fashion to you. It' s nice to see things from another perspective.

I have to call him tomorrow, so I'll report back with my findings. Come hell or high water, I will have those carbs.

As much as I love this thread, the carb saga really has my attention here. Do you have any legal ground to base a threat on?

If that's the case, I'm willing to become an "in-person" customer for as long as it takes to get what I want. I got air miles, and I can work from anywhere.

If this happens, please get video.

I'm down for a phone call. I'm way too far for a visit, but I'll happily look angrily into a webcam if someone wants to drag a laptop to his door.

Come back to us!

Any progress made with carb man? Are you currently running from the law after assaulting carb man with a pipe?

Minor update

I'll be in California from June 20th to ?? in July - at least a month. I have to work my normal schedule, but nights and weekends are free. I am now going to order everything on my list in advance. I should have enough time once I get there to make adjustments and do one, maybe two more orders, so this time, I'm prepared for the unforseen.

The HSRs arrived in CA yesterday.

It's happening, guys.

Hell yes.

That competition wheel is dead sexy, but 500 bones is pretty high. That second link is a little more reasonable, but yeah, I agree that the stock wheel is a bit much. Looks like it might not be far from rubbing on your thighs which is no fun.

So happy to see more updates on the Datsun. I'm eager to see how you get those carbs synced up. Multi-carb setups always seemed a bit daunting to me.

I looked at every other steering wheel ever, but the appeal of having one that matched the shift knob and was a competition repro (well, they both are) was just too juicy to pass up. Now I just have to wait for it to get here from Glorious Nippon.

Both items, for reference:

Man, those are pretty. I really like that wheel.

Well... that's not good.

I feel you on the custom brake poo poo. Plumbing can be a right bitch if it wants to be.
