Nothing, they are the same kit. Get Craig (Jetwreck) to do it in Sydney, he has done more RE5 shift kits than any transmission specialist.

This is now waiting on more takers.

It's a difficult situation, as most existing owners have already done the mod.

Being that your "late to the party" relatively speaking; you'll have to keep pushing other owners to get it over the line.

Is Craig organising the Transgo shipping?

I noticed some eGay sellers in the US are able to remove the parts from the stupidly oversized box. If this is the case and shipping prices come down to a more manageable level I would be interested in buying a few kits.

Slightly off the purchase topic, but i spoke to the blokes at MV in Adelaide. They were under the impression that this mod was not a great way to spend money? They also said the 5spd box had little difference where as the 4spd made a significant difference (not in the NM/PM).

Is this them speaking from a data point of view, not an owners point of view? The box is pretty terrible with response, i can only imagine it would be worse supporting more mods.

I was getting all keened up to put this on the "to do" list but now im not so sure, from this thread there seems to be a pretty strong sense of money well spent.

Take this from someone who has no financial benefit to be made, This is the best money you will spend on your M35. As I have a 5 speed auto. It changes the way the gearbox reacts completely. Much faster shifts. Less slop etc. It still won't shift instantly when you have it in manual mode, but every other aspect is made better.

This is them talking our of there arse. I've done the V35 S1 and 2(both had improvement), 350Z(improvement), PNM35 and NM35(improvement) and the R51 Pathfinder(improvement). For $600 and a 2-3 hour turnaround its a great upgrade and considering we don't have the luxury of a manual in the NM35 I'd take what i can get over standard. Personally after I did the upgrade I was shocked at how it transformed the way my car shifted. If your going to tune with this gearbox just about every tuner who knows what there doing will not tune unless the gearbox has been kitted as it will start to slip from about 220AWKW's on. Not to mention that most of our cars are up over the 100km's mark so you should be doing a service as well.

On a service just trying to change the oil you will get our in-between 3-4 lt.'s. When i'm doing the Shift kit I get out about 7.3-4 lts out of the 8lt's that comes in it....not to mention all the filters get a clean and flush.

Well its pretty hard to argue with that kind of backing! Spose ill need to book the bus in for a Tansco shift kit!

This group buy, im assuming its only to NSW so id need to ship it to SA. Will it be cheaper to get MV Auto to get the part in and fit it?

Frankly, I'd avoid MV altogether, it's not the first time they've been off the mark with NM/PNM 35 advice.

I'm not doubting their ability, just with our car specifically.

^^ This.

Unfortunately they have no clue with the RE5. Speak to Kewish automotive if you want info, they built mine twice and learnt a LOT in the process. I blew mine on the dyno at 180kw due to overheating and not enough pressure on the clutches.

First mods should be a trans cooler then the shift kit imo. At least then you know the box has all new synthetic fluid.

Unfortunately the stag is my only means of transport so having it off the road for a long period of time isnt really a viable option, and no, me and tools dont have a very good relationship. Appreciate the offer.

Thats why i was after some local knowledge, so i can drop off and pick up same day if possible.

As far as the kits go, am i best to order through yourself Jetwreck or find a local supplier?

Try DRW Automatics down at Lonsdale, I believe they've installed the shift kit in an NM35 or two.

(i've had them do work on previous cars and never had an issue with their work)

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
