This set (sorry for the poorer quality, flash was on the fritz) shows the car with the lower quarters sprayed in color where the body kit will be mounted up. Inner areas and jambs have also been sprayed. The MSA Type II body kit is causing a great deal of grief, with the side skirts in a horribly warped state right out of the box, and the rear bumper cap assembly has some of the rougest, most uneven edges I've seen. There will need to be some significant customization to get this to fit correctly.
We decided to split the side skirts at the front fender line (not shown). Since we're using panel bond, we didn't want any flex of the body at that joint to cause cracks down the road. Also, should I ever need to replace the a fender, I won't have to rip out the whole skirt.
The rear spoiler looks good on this car, I like it a lot!

I would probably do them in pairs, then each pair goes to a common shaft.

Part of running a single shared throttle shaft was for a super clean look- like how datsun_tokyo linked above has it.
I also still haven’t decided on the manifold- but was planning on the TWM one- seems to be the cleanest and allows me to run without all the linkages.
With that said I’m interested- I’ll shoot you PM.

I have common under mount bar mount I could sell you, with either teflon or brass bushings. You would need arms, but it would be the best for actually balancing them. Just a thought.

That car is one of the main reasons I’ve even considered this. I have been in touch with him- unfortunately the language barrier is tough. Might need to recruit an old autox friend who is in Tokyo now to translate. The owner of that car did express that he much preferred the HSRs over OERs and that he was never able to find the right tune with OERs. Looking back through his thread he had PHH 50s on there at some point - but that is a very built engine - 3.1 I think with custom head etc.
Did a little more digging and thinking on this last night - I think mechanically the hardest part will be the common throttle shaft - it looks like each carb has 3-5 holes on the shaft. 2 for pins for to hold the throttle stop and accelerator pump levers; at least 1 maybe 2 for the return springs; and the main threaded one for the slide lift. With some patience and precise measurements it’s shouldn’t be to terrible, but not a cheap if you mess one up and have to start over on a new stainless shaft.
