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)

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
