What was it like to fit? Fitting instructions included?

bit of a PITA....I am sure after I do the next 2 things will be a lot easier..........destructions come with it.

you don't even notice the shifts on light throttle

.........full throttle there is no clunking or harshness.....just super fast and precise!.....keeps the power rolling.

My gearbox would not change into 3rd at all unless you completely backed off and 2nd was flaring.....now it shifts without even thinking about it.

P.S. I have to admit at about half way I was a bit scared about the thought of drilling ect....didn't help that all the workshop guy's were laughing at me and saying they would not even attempt it.

Do the changes on full heavy/full throttle too hard or chirp tyres on changes at all?

Sorry for all the Qs just chasing as much info and still trying to understand MV's decision on the kit.

no chirping and no destructive gear changes anywhere......I am putting out over 270AWKW's and I had no issue's.

I would agree.. the more I read the more frightened I became.. Solution.. stop reading. lol

Completely right. Only start reading when you've cracked it open & there's no returning. So, are you going to tackle this as a DIY?

I've started ringing around my local guys to see who sounds most confident & if they can do it for less than ~$250 - 300, this will be my first non DIY mod :O .

Well, I heard back from a shop that does a lot of Transgo work. His sugestion was for me to buy the kit online (derr, was going to anyway) because he can't buy it that cheap thru his supplier.

Then his price for installation was somewhere between $500 & $1000 (unsure as to the extent of the work) but that included filling it up with their Valvoline trans fluid. I DON'T THINK SO. :spank:

Looks like I keep asking or another DIY project is on the cards.

$500 for fitting including the fluid isn't that bad I wouldn't think? And I've had no issues with the Valvoline trans fluid, just make sure they're using the Maxlife version, as that is the Matic J compatible one.

Anyone got a link for the fitting instructions? There are videos on the web site but I can't find the exact fitting instructions. If it's not too bad I'll just get dad to do it.

I take it this is where the price difference comes in for Craig's changeover VB. Worth it if it's going to be a hassle!

$500 for installation and Oil is a good price imo......but no more than that!spank.gif.......it's about 4 hours work with the correct tools.....but 1 stuff up and your screwed!

try this when pricing......tell them it's a 350Z auto...that they will understand...it's the exact same shit.

    • It’s not driver training though, it’s just an online questionnaire and $65 
    • Almost certainly no. In Vic they have this crazily restrictive set of rules for mods that is usually interpreted as "no more than 2 modifications to the intake system". And they're not real hot on upgraded turbos at all, let alone high mounts. That means if you fit a bigger (particularly front mount) intercooler (which is, of course, almost impossible to go without) then you're already down to one other mod allowed. You'll really benefit from hearing from someone from Vic who knows the real state of play. Even better, speak to an automotive mods certifying engineer from Vic. You can actually read the rules from the govco websites yourself, too.
    • Well, I'm not clicking on a link to f**king bookface (never have, never will), so I can't really know what the complaint here is about, but.... There's nothing particularly wrong with forcing people to have a higher license category to drive super/hypercars. Note that the laws are not about modified cars - only listed standard cars, because there are not supposed to be cars modified enough to meet the law's category limits anyway. If you have a modified car that falls into those power limits you're already in trouble anyway. What is wrong is the bullshit on-line "test" to get the upgrade, instead of any actual work and training.
    • Meh Don't have Facebook anymore but watched a YouTube about it, they also talked about them not being able to use and "sports" modes, not really sure how they would enforce that apart from logging the Db for the cars that have exhaust valve activation in sports mode Apart from all the high end sports cars and supercars that make the sort of power they are talking about standard, I cannot see it bothering anyone else, unless of course road side tests now include having a dyno and scales on site to test the power output vs weight What is it? 500hp per ton? And if the only additional cost is $60 or so, as the video stated, I cannot see that being a war stopper for the people that outlay a few hundred thousand dollars on a performance car In fact, I see it would be a ego boost for some, because they have a "special" drivers licence for a "special"person with a "special" car And if I did have a modified car that made over the limit, there's no way in hell I would apply for a "special" licence, I could see the authorities checking your licence against your rego, so if old mate applied for a licence, but owns a, say, R33 Skyline, that may trigger an inspection of said car as to why, and how, that old mate has a R33 that would fit the bill of making over 500hp per ton Again, meh, not something I believe will be a real issue to 99.9% of people
