Transgo Shift kit RE5R05A (HD-2 - for a 370GT coupe *** Yes, I have read all the old posts***


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I have had a v35 for nearly 5 years and recently sold for a v36 coupe upgrade.

I have purchased the shift kit and am waiting for it's arrival.

My query is around finding a place/person in Melbourne to install for me.

All the old forums on this are 10yrs or so old so I don't want to msg those individuals who may not even like these cars anymore haha.

I have obviously called around some shops out west where I live but haven't gotten very far/they all want to see it and I'm struggling to even get a quote...

Thanks all,

Feel free to email me even if you know a place/have done it/can do it etc etc on [email protected]

Thank you for the replies gents, which shop is that Vee37? I have tried Hoppers Transmissions and Diffs and Techtrans to no avail. I'm hoping to find a shop that has maybe done it before.

Thanks for the reminder Paul, I'm tossing up between Matic J or S, but I am pretty sure from reading Matic S fluid is newer.

I have read a lot of US forums/g37 forums BUT I have seen old posts on here from like 2012 where guys in Melb were offering prices, hoping they'll reach out to me if they still do them.

I was ltalking about the previous post, referring to estimates in the US.

on the US forums they say it takes a shop 4 hours.

ask their hourly rate.

Plus fluids too 👍

Matic S is a lower viscosity fluid, if the manual specifies J, make sure it will happily run on the lower viscosity S before you use it.

Sonicii - I have read on many forums that Matic S replaced J? Is this not true, I found a shop that can do it but they say in their quote they won't use nissan special oil (i,e matic S/J), do you know much about these trans and if that will be ok?

Not exactly.  Matic S is a newer fluid.  Many Transmissions that specified J before S came out, can happily run on S, but they are not the same fluids (same with NS2/NS3 with Nissan FWD CVTs).  For example, my Infiniti specifies Matic S for the transmission, but Matic J for the transfer case as it requires a higher viscosity fluid.

Sorry, I don't know with any certainty if the RE5 can happily run on Matic S, plenty of forums and web pages say it can..

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
