Well done mate, your doing a proper job there.

Nipple help#?
:taz: dunno what to suggest mate. I'd be thinking about using a bolt extractor. What a shit.

JDM series 1 - Number Plate Size
That very much depends on how you apply the rules and more importantly how mr plod wishes to apply it. Grey area.

Yup, that's the one. Oh well I figured it out myself in the end. :lol: hopefully this reduce the crashing on the front end, rear was always good.

Project Dittohead Red
This morning I switched the front brake pads out for some Evo OEM Brembo ones, so that's matching pads and discs all round now. Investigated this upper camber arm issue. It appears that the arm indeed has been catching the mount, you can see the witness marks. The arms themselves are longer one end creating a natural larger clearance one end. So I swapped them round, this created about 3" extra travel. Not sure how I missed this on install but far happier now. I pulled the struts to allow me to move the corner freely and left them out as I've got some lower rated springs to switch in. Intercooler ducting is now complete. Slipped some 15mm spacers on the back which gave me that much needed clearance to fit the wheels over the caliper. The end is though I need new wheels, lighter, wider and a better offset. Slow progress but we are moving forward.

My clutch is going and at the worst time!

My clutch is going and at the worst time!
I dont know how fast they are to Norway but I'm always shocked how fast stuff comes from Z1. You will want an updated clutch, stock candle handle much more than 320 fwhp, new they have more strength but yeah not worth it.

Indicators on one side only??
Glad you sorted it, these kind of things are so annoying.

Just double checking myself as I'm sure I'm binding on the FUCA tonits mount. Have I cocked the instal up on these? I know there's a set way to fit them (which I can't find) I'm sure I researched it but you know...

Turbo Rebuild Thread
That really depends on what turbo it is, few hundred each side for a journal bearing turbo. If it's a BB style turbo I'm afraid most of the time that's a new CHRA which is more expensive. Sorry.

Local Turbo rebuilders
Having a pair of rebuilt stock turbos I wouldn't bother next time. Much better options for similar price or a bit more.

Local Turbo rebuilders
Are you rebuilding stock turbos? Unless you find a very cheap price I'm not convinced it's worth the bother.

Recommend a good set of lowering springs and spacers.
This is the case for Euro/UK and US spec cars, JDM cars had a square set up even on the TT. I believe there was a reason for this, something to do with Japanese law... something to do with tyre profiles I think. JDM twin turbos didn't have all the same stuff as UK etc which were a higher spec.

Project Dittohead Red
Just trying to make my mind up wether to pull the trigger on 15 or 20mm spacers for the rear, I needed a minimum of 10 for the fitment I wanted and the clear the brakes, however I currently have a camber of 0 believe. Think the 20s would require a slight flare as my arches are already rolled. I had the alignment done a spring or two back but didn't correct the Caster as they couldn't do it and it turns out they set it up as a Z31 :taz:
