Message	My Z has about 55k miles on it and started having problems w/ it. I took it to a local shop here in raleigh that specilizes in Z cars - they diagnosed the issue as 1 injector being bad and the other on the way (firing only some times). Anyways Im going to replace all6 injectors and have 2 questions. 1. They are telling me 22 hrs of labor to do the work - does this seem right? 2. since Im replacing the injectors Im going todo an upgrade to the 555's. Anyone have any opinions of the Nismo 555s? (or what are the best 555s to upgrade to? Also - right now there is a SuperChip in there - if I put the 555s what is the best chip to upgrade w/? The JWT or the Ash?
