Its fairly complicated as you need to remove the trans sump and valve body which have around a hundred bolts holding them in. They all need to go back together in the same hole too. Read the instructions when you get the kit and make the decision then, if it seems too complicated get Craig (jetwreck) to do it, or someone local if you aren't in Sydney. It will cost a lot more if you get it wrong...

If your comfortable using spanners it's not that hard at all. One of the easier major upgrades ive done to any of my cars. When I did mine I found it to be quite easy. Just take your time, mark everything you remove and best to have a mate help out so you can double check everything you do.

No special tricks involved, just read the instructions and it's nice and easy. Then you have the satisfaction that you did it yourself.

A lot.

You'll find yourself changing gears much quicker, and a lot more responsively and when you plant your foot the changes will be very sharp and you'll get a little chirp from 1 - 2, sometimes 2 - 3, but in the wet it's anything but a chirp.

When your foots not planted its normal gear changes, but its a very noticable upgrade when you want it to be. Personally I wouldn't recommend installing it yourself. But i'd definitiy recommend getting one.

I had mine installed and a oil change with nissan matic J at my local auto shop for $300, cost me $100 labour to have it put in and i bought mine off ebays was $300 from the USA something like that, but once it was in i get wheel spin till i hit 3rd, it goes off, cherps the tyres all the way to 5th if ur nailing it to the redline on every gear shifts are really solid and fast, but one bad thing i noticed is down shifting, mine does not like it so much gives a noise sometimes (probs me shifting down at wrong times) but other then that its mint.

I'm interested, although I'm in Perth. What comes in the kit? The Transgo website is hard to get around, but I think the Transgo Reprogramming Kit is what I need. Also if this kit is installed is it neccessary to upgrade the valve body al la MV Automotives?

Sweet put me tentatively down for now. There's a WA authorised distributor according to the Transgo website but their emails are bouncing back. I'll try calling them today to see if they have it in stock as it might be cheaper for me. I'll let you know tonight whether I'll grab one a part of the group buy or not. :)

Yeh the shop i had it done in is not just any mechanic, it was an auto transmission specialist all they do is service auto's and also the RE5 box thats in the V35 is also in a few other nissans so its not a 1 of a kind and they are in cars sold in AUS so they do have experence working with them.

      Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
