Nm35 Stagea Slushbox

$500 for installation and Oil is a good price imo......but no more than that!.......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.

have fun!!!

I've read that guide before and it doesn't look too, cough, daunting.

My local guy knew the gear box, but didn't spend anytime reading what was involved with the kit, hence the price range. Been caught before tho, ends up being $990 + GST, not $500, lol.

4 hrs should = $280 to $400 ($70 - $100/hr) plus oil. So $500 would be the absolute max that the job is worth IMO.

Meh, just gonna do it myself, even if it takes a whole day.

Sweet. I'm going to order one also.

[bigkevracer]

I ordered mine. Wasn't going to but you mentioned Paypal and I knew I had money left in my account...

Guess I better suck up to dad to give me a hand too... looks like a bitch of a job!

[Jetwreck]

don't forget you will need about 10lt's of oil.

and a whole box of tissues if you get it wrong!

[bigkevracer]

Yep I've got oil. I'm hopeful it won't go wrong!

What's the go with your changeover version? You do the hard core valve body modding and we just fit it?

Backup plan if dad doesn't want to do it is get someone like MV Automatics to do it. No idea what they'd want to do it though.

yup...you send me your kit(or I can supply at your cost)....I'll do the upgrade to the spare and send it back.....you change it over and send me your old one.

that way your car's off the road for the minimum amount of time.

[Jetwreck]

or you can just send down you VB with the kit....whatever you prefer...I'm easy!

[slippylotion]

So your price is $500 for the kit supplied and installed? How much just to fit the kit if we supply it?

Im thinking of finding a shop here to fit it if I decide not to have a crack. This way I will get some sort of warranty and back up service. I assume you won't offer any type of warranty if the kit turns out not to be installed correctly? Not saying this will happen, just looking at options if a shop only charges a small amount more and it comes with a warranty/backup service.

Well obviously us being in Adelaide, Craig's just going to fit it to his exchange VB, or yours if you send it up, and you have to install it in the car (which still looks like a shit job...).

I wouldn't think you'd need a warranty with Craig, but if the shit hit the fan I'm sure you'd get looked after.

[slippylotion]

by "installed" I thought it would be understood it was the kit to the valve body.

Im not saying he can't/won't do a great job, Im just looking at all my options.

What type of workshop does your old man have?

[Jetwreck]

The vb is not that hard to get out....there is a remove bid on YouTube!.... It the next part that's tricky

[slippylotion]

Yeah I had a look at that vid. Is that the first shift kit you have fitted?

Im keen as hell to give it a go but always a little wary if it all goes south and need another valve body or trans.

[Jetwreck]

My father does not have a workshop.....I use a mates workshop to do work after hours....just because he has a hoist or two.

[Jetwreck]

I'll have to pick up on this later...I need to catch a plane

Sorry mate, that was direct at bigkevracer.

[bigkevracer]

Sorry mate, that was direct at bigkevracer.

Dads a diesel mechanic, workshop at Dry Creek. He has a shed out the back he uses for his rally cars, with a hoist. Thats where I do my stuff.

Im not going to stuff around. Im sure he can do it, he just might not want to. If so Ill call MV.

[slippylotion]

Nice, hoist at home, what more could a guy ask for.

Yeah Im thinking of asking MV to fit it also but Im not sure if he would as he doesn't think a heap of the kit for some reason. When I spoke to him he didn't say he would fit it if I wanted, he just said it not worth doing this kit and gave me no other option. Very weird. I hope he would fit it as having a shift kit previous;y done by him I know his work is second to none.

Time will tell I guess.

[scotty nm35]

His loss, No chance the box will hold the torque this engine can produce without it, 4 of us have proven that now and Cihan will definitely ask for it to be done before he will tune another.

[slippylotion]

So how is the shift kit performing now that its been in for a bit?
