Have an old B11 Sunny which I am transplanting a Ga16DS into (kindly sold to me for a very fair price by Elvis58). Am wanting to put a larger carb on and so far all info I have points me towards a 32/36 Cortina DGAV carb. Anyone in the know think this sounds about right! Or can offer advice on a better option. I'm not trying to build a race car (obviously) but just having a bit of fun with a cheap project to keep me out of trouble:) Also, can anyone recommend anyone in Dunedin to rebuild whcihever carb I eventually decide to use! As I'm assuming whatever I use will need to get a bit of a refresh and possibly need to be re-jetted etc to suit the application. Cheers to all that can help:)

So go with the Cortina carb ya reckon! Manifold is just the standard GA16 jobby so will need to get an adaptor plate made up which shouldn't be too hard. You mean the old E13 donk! It runs brilliantly.but shes a bit sluggish with a passenger or 2. Apparently the GA16 is (almost) a straight bolt in. I reckon with a well sorted Goat carb on it I might be on to a winner! Can you recommend anyone up Stratford way! ;)
Does anyone know if there is a weber carb chart or diagram available that has the mounting specs/ bolt, stud dimensions to work out what matches ! For many of the Nissans; a weber32/ 34 dtml is the suggested replacement.

I would try the Nissan SSS carbs as they are larger jetted to the sport version and should bolt on.
