Bambikiller240 Posted June 10, 2004 Share #5 Posted June 10, 2004 What looks "roadster" about them? Although the picture is not very good at all, it seemsd to have a 6 cyl manifold from what I can see. It looks very similar to the carbs and manifold on my 72 Z although much of the emissions stuff is missing on the auction pieces. Bet they need at least a complete rebuild though, and seller says no shipping, pick up only!

sblake01 Posted June 10, 2004 Share #8 Posted June 10, 2004 Originally posted by Bambikiller240 What looks "roadster" about them? Nothing, I guess. Since the roadster carbs are not 'mirror image' like these, but I thought there weren't enogh intake runners in the picture for a 6 cyl. Maybe L series 4 cyl SSS?

Victor Laury Posted June 10, 2004 Share #9 Posted June 10, 2004 Can't see the link, cause Ebay is blocked here at work. But I do want to let you guys in on something. Be on the look out for original nissan mainfolds for the roadster u-20 engine with the Mikuni Solex Carbs. Since they only made 14,000 2 liter roadsters, and only a small portion of those were fitted with Mikuni's, The manifolds are now rarer than hen's teeth. And worth major dollars. yep, the manifold is worth more than the carbs. After all, they made a lot more 44 PHH Mikunis for all sorts of cars. Even things associated with the mikuni set-up, such as the factory air cleaner housing. One of these is currenly selling for $600. Pretty pricy piece of stamped aluminum!So, If your at a yard sale, and see a box of car parts, and the fella says "that stuff came off my old daatsaan roadster" " five bucks for the lot", pay the man and smile.

I wasn't trying to disagree with you, Stephen. I know nothing about Roadsters (except that they have 4 cyl engines) and was just going by what I could see in the picture. The manifold is just barely visable in a small area, and seemed to be of a similar shape (in that small area) to my Z manifold.
