Rebuilding a carburetor (especially a Hitachi VC42) requires you to be great at jigsaw puzzles... 
But they can sure look (and work) nice when they're done:

Where did you get your parts? I'm looking for a rebuild kit and a new screen that goes on the fuel inlet fitting

There are three rebuild kits for the Hitachi VC42 that I am aware of (there may be others that I am not aware of)mattmctree@gmail.com wrote:Where did you get your parts? I'm looking for a rebuild kit and a new screen that goes on the fuel inlet fitting
1) Fuel Miser part number HT409 out of Australia
2) Keyster part number K11-040H out of Canada
3) Nardek part number 70-7 out of Australia
Unfortunately, I don't know where to get ANY of them... Even the mighty google turns up blanks.
All 3 companies still have active websites, so maybe a call to them directly might turn up some leads?
Regarding the screen on the inlet fitting - You can probably get by without it if you use a high quality fuel filter...

I went out and took a look at my Hitatchi carbs and noticed that the one is a vc42-4a. Isn't the original carb not a vc42-1? The second Hitatchi looks the same but the name plate is missing from the side

Most of the original Patrol carbs I've seen were VC42-4's...mattmctree@gmail.com wrote: Isn't the original carb not a vc42-1?

Currently there are three carb rebuild kits on ebay.com.au (Australia). I think if they are for VC42s, but not certain
Here are the links
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISSAN-PATRO ... Swa-dWtiCd from Colombia $29US + $14US postage (to Australia I assume)
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-OEM-QUAL ... SwZ8ZW2nJM from Australia $111 AUD + $12 AUD postage
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Carburettor- ... Swys5WV8eM from Australia $98 AUD + $7 AUD postage
The 3 kits do vary a fair bit in what they contain.
The last one, 4WD Products are a great supplier of brake parts for G60s.
