Hey Guys,

Not sure if any of you will remember me, but my silver baby was a gift from my mum. She bought it from a husband-wife couple that had been driving it minimally years back, but about four years ago she tarped it in the driveway and left her (poor thing)

Any case, I replaced the starter, master and slave clutch cyls, and fuel filter. Unseized the engine, and got the brake pads/shoes off as well. But we could only get her running by spraying gas in through the carb constantly.

In any case, I send out a plea to all those who've upgraded their stock Nikki's, if anyone has a working carb for a 1984 GS 12A, please e-mail or post here. I'd love to get my baby running this summer, but since I wanna port, I don't want to shell out the 733 USD for a Holley intake kit before I have the money to port it.

Lol, and I forgot my e-mail address of course:

vipernicus42@hotmail.com

Thanks again guys
Jon

 

i've got one off an 85. how much you wanna pay, and how much would shipping cost ya?

i'm in dallas texas

 

Sounds good, but I would rather something closer, since those things are frikken' heavy, and to send one to Canada.... well it would probably be cheaper at that point to get one from Mazda!

Name a price and figure shipping to Canada, postal code J9H 3V9, and we'll see, it may be my only course of action...

Anyone else?

 

These carbs look like a nice setup to me. I was actually going to buy them, but unfortunatly I had to use some of the $ to fix my brake system, so I could no longer buy them

Not even close. A stock Nikki carb from mazdamotorsports.com at DEALER COST is just under $1200 USD. Your best bet is buying an overhaul kit and rebuilding the carb. They're only $38 CDN at PartSource, so the investment isn't massive. Failing that, there should be scads of RX-7's in boneyards around your area for you to scavage a carb from.

 

The RX-7 Heaven in Gloucester is the only place with Rex parts because they buy them from all the junkyards. I called them and they have no carbs available.

Coldy13 - Thanks bud, but I'm not looking to make a huge carb investment until I get my engine ported, hopefully next year or the year after. I'm just looking for a stock nikki, or even someone in the Ottawa-Gatineau area (or even within 2 hours drive) that can teardown and rebuild mine! Or hell, even better instructions than the shop manual has (my carb doesn't look the same as the one there)

Any case, thanks everyone, if anyone comes across something closer, I'm still looking.

Jon

 

The more I talk to people about it, the more it seems that the carb is probably rebuildable....

Anyone within 3 hours of Ottawa willing to give me a hand? It'd definitely be worth some money.

Mine seems different from the one in the Heynes manual, and I'm confused to all hell about rebuilding it myself.

Jon

 

I have one and im in michigan

 

Michigan's not bad, you're right up close to the boarder

How much are you asking, and what year/model car did it come off of?

 

p.m. me, its an 84 gsl

 

you might want to post that in the canadian forum, more chances you'll get replys there.

 

i have one of a 85 GSL 12a its still on the motor, seems to be all in working condition i live in canada BC

 

Thanks guys (messaged Fenix_sr and V8Kilr)

If anyone else has offers, feel free to make them.

Also, are there any differences between:
84 and 85 Stock Nikkis
GS and GSL Stock Nikkis

Jon

 

I just installed a weber 45dcoe, i have a nikki that ill give ya for 30.00 + shipping...Came off an 85 GSL... Let me know.

 

Anyone know the weight of a Nikki, for shipping purposes? (roughly)

Jon

 

20 - 30 lbs is my guess.. ****** is heavier than it looks!
