I am running those hitachi carbs on my 1600 at the moment
I hated them at first as they are a bit of mucking around to figure out how to tune them
i think i have some links somewhere at home to su tune up sites let me know if you need them
anyway once you figure things out they are fairly easy to tune & balance by ear
a tip though, tune them rich rather than lean.
i would only use them as an intermediate carby though and i am eventually going to upgrade to double webbers or quad mikuni's, they just wont deliver enough fuel for a full race engine the way that you will want. also some of them can be hard to get parts / jets for.
but yes they are cheap, check out ebay & you will often see them in australia & america for sale.
I got rid of the bit of curtain rod that my car had for an exhaust system (i think it was the original size) & i installed motivator extractors into 2 1/2" then finally into a 3" tail pipe & lukey muffler. This didnt increase power but improved revability & made the car rev higher.
if you are going to put a very high performance engine in you car & want 3" exhaust you will have to enlarge the exhaust hole in your rear suspension (if your have a 1600 (510 series independant suspension)) & then have it stiffened.
you will have to send us some photos of your car at the track !
good luck Jeff

Mohit,
Welcome to us "Aussi" Datsun lovers. I am sure some of us will be able to help you get your 1600 atmo engine going harder. Do you have access to a multi carb manifold and carbs? A pair of 45mm Webers jetted to suit your engine is a good start.if you can get them.
The factory "SSS" twin hitachi carbs, manifold, airfilter and throttle linkage is a good lower priced road use option. These can be found in Australia usually for about $A150.
Inlet manifold and exhaust improvements will help breathing, followed by head porting and a "bigger" camshaft and valves, everything to help it breath better.
Because it will rev harder with better breathing you should balance the pistons, rods, crank and fit a lightened and balanced flywheel.for reliability if you plan to use higher revs (above 6000).

think it's the same as my FJ20E ones, the goes from the engine mount up to 2 points on the inlet, also there is another one that goes from back of alternator to inlet too, I might be able to take some pictures of them if some one wants, i have a set off my spare engine
Anthony ps yes these are factory braces

I spotted a very neat brace which I presume is a factory item, supporting those long inlet runners on an FJ20ET. anyone got one they wanna get rid of, as I'm fearful of eventual cracking due to lack of support on my car. IIRC braces bolts to side of block, not to the car like some DIY set-ups which would have to be flexible mounts.
