I want to buy some tubs?
The gt525 is the largest 4 bolt fixing tub you can fit.bolts straight up and is good for 360-380 at the back wheels with supporting mods.Im running a pair and have fitted a pair to Joelys car and hes really impressed also.My dad runs 500s on his and these spool a bit lower down the rev range and are also a good turbo.

Clutch Suggestions
Mikes os giken is as light as a stock clutch.I was amazed after driving it then pulling the engine to find a triple plate clutch.

Turbo problems?
£2500 is rather steep to say the least.It can be done much cheaper than that without cutting corners ;).

Removing crank shaft
If you try and force the sprocket youll risk damaging the oil pump.The pump is three times dearer than the sprocket so id just drill through the sprocket then split it with a sharp chisel.

SARD injectors..........
Wish id done some searching two years ago.Venoms are litter.mine are coming out when i get time.mine flow fine but the smell of fuel from the constantly leaking injector is a nause this time of year.They have only done 1200 miles.

whats people's opinion on these 555's ?
Bought mine quite a while ago before i heard loads of negative stuff about them.Sodding things flowed ok but NO 6 injector sweats fuel where the plug is attatched.Fookin litter i reckon.:rant:

Pulled over for my plate today
Imports can only have non standard front plates ONLY if the bumper has no provision to do so.This is fine for MOTs but the police check vehicles using the construction and use laws which are different.hence the reason you can pass an mot but get pulled outside the test station by police and get a 14 day rectification for a defect.Crazy or what !!

Drivers Door Dropped.
The old trick was to open the door and grab it from underneath and lift upwards a bit at a time till the hinges bend enough and the drop has gone.Always worked on fords.Had many three door fords years ago and the doors always dropped.

Running a New engine in - How long ?
The manufacturers use larger tolerances on ring clearance than machine shops do to account for the fact that joe public will drive it like he stole it fresh out the showroom.Every 300zx was run up at the factory from new and taken to its max speed before delivery.

Big thanks to greg and shunter....

Running a New engine in - How long ?
500 on running in oil then a few hundred on mineral then change to the oil of your choice always works for me.No boost restrictions, just no labouring of the engine or hard revving without load and she wil be fine as long as you have faith in your engine.
