I'm kinda glad this thread went the way it did. I really wanted to increase my knowledge of Carb versus EFI and not just figure out if there's any kits or something available for it. However, I must still ask - are there any relatively simple "bolt-on kits" available for such a conversion? I imagine not since you'd need to rebuild the top-end with a different inlet manifold, different ECU, and that's all I can think of with my limited knowledge (I come from a field of Aeroplane Engineering), so I imagine there's a lot more to it than just that. I sadly have to decline all the PM's I got regarding available parts, as I am in New Zealand, meaning that the shipping charges itself would heavily outweigh the cost of the items necessary. Thank you though, I was surprised to see the number of people who had something to offer

Converting TO carb? Why would you do that? I'm not as mechanically inclined as guys here, but my dad is a mechanic (works for Land Rover currently), and is surprisingly informed about all things mechanical. He tells me that for daily driving, EFI would be the most reliable way to go and carb will bring with it some serious repercussions in terms of maintenance and whatnot. This is why I'm looking to go the EFI way.

Is it possible on the Z's? Are there any "kits" available to do so? Anyone have any information I can read upon on this? I'm either looking at a L26/L28 (seller is an idiot and unsure which one) which is currently set up with, I quote, "triple 40mm carbs etc". Any tips?

That's the one I'm talking about, I made the white arrow to point towards the one But they didn't seem right, since they looked like they were metal or something on the sides (looking at how shiny it is) and the center part is probably metal too but you can't tell since it's not reflecting like the rest. Anyone got pictures of another Z with those louvers on? Just so we can confirm they're standard in-frame louvers?

Anyone have any other pictures of louvers like these? They seem.. I dunno, different.. cooler than the regular louvers. I'm keen on a set

Thanks for posting those up! It's starting to look sweet. I can't wait to see it done, fully polished and cleaned up and all You're a neighbour to me! I'm in New Zealand

I would LOVE to see an engine bay with the "polished look". Looking awesome

Just registered to add to this thread.. Here's another V8 that would sound AMAZING in a Datsun. It's just the first 10 seconds of the video.
