Nice PM's guys.

May I suggest that the first mod should be a transmission cooler?

Leave the fun stuff until later, they need a trans cooler over here.

Doesn't it get as hot in japan as it does here? Also, I'm ganna make a guess and say they have far longer traffic jams?

I haven't put a trans cooler on my car yet and it hasn't gone into limp mode. Not saying he shouldn't, but I think if he's not going to modify it or tow, it should be fine right?

If it absolutely needed anything wouldn't it be better having scotts bypass mod or VB upgrade?

Looks like my first mod will be the Transgo Shift Kit, through Jetwreck.

How does the transmission cooler benefit?

And what's Scott's bypass mod & VB Upgrade?

VB upgrade is the Transgo shift kit.

Scotty's bypass mod is a cooling system add-on; this allows the cooling system to be purged of air extremely easily (this is one of the most annoying jobs on the whole car, and is critical to the safe running of the engine). It also cooling water to circulate from a dead area in the back of the block, back to the radiator. This allows temperatures to stabilise very quickly after a high load event.

This mod is literally worth it's weight in gold. :wub:

The coolant bypass kit is not very heavy mate, it's worth more than that. :P

Thanks Dale, glad you like it.

No, Japan's summers are not as hot as here and their cooler months are definitely colder than ours.

Decent trans coolers (hell, even small horseshoe shaped "coolers") have been found to extend the life of markedly and IMO should be on every car - feel free to ask EF Falcon/Futura owners who have their transmissions sealed from factory.

You are correct though and yes, I am a forgetful idiot. Scott's coolant bypass is without question the first thing I would install if I purchased another VQ (unless it has it from factory).

VB upgrade? Nah, not that high up on the list of things to add to a fresh PNM35 although I do appreciate the improvement it makes... hell, it is still behind roughly $3-4k of mods on my list.

We've already got a trans temp regulator type set up anyways... i guess, Also isn't a theory behind VB upgrade is that because there is less (slip or friction) so there is less heat generated between shifts?

Heh, not trying to come at you bro... I also forgot those mods in my #22 post in this thread :P.
