The shift times are only half affected by the valve body, the auto controller is very slow in sending the signal to the VB and sends a ramped voltage, especially to the lock up clutch. Opening the valve body does make it quicker and firmer once the voltage is there and allows more pressure to be run if needed but it wont make the shifts instant when you hit the switch.

I don't think mine has that much of a pressure increase from stock as the extra clutches allow sufficient torque transfer at the moment.

I went for a ride in Aarons, but didn't get to drive. It felt a lot better than mine, but I'd imagine it'd feel even better when you're driving.

I'd be interested to see how the Trans Go version compares to the RVO version Aaron has. I think the RVO one was cheaper too wasn't it?

From memory it will be about the same price depending on how much I get the Kit's for and depending on what deal you get from RVO.....I nearly did the RVO but I changed my mind as I preferred the Transgo spec!

Either kit is fine though....Aaron and Jethro are quite happy with theres and they are putting out good numbers.

the only comparison I have is with scotss. but his is a built box, so its very different.

If Aarons kit is just upping the pressure I would assume that could limit the life and reliability of the trans, unless the pressure hasn't been lifted too much but then it might not get the desired results. Its definitely better to go a modified valve body than just upping the line pressure. From what I know thumbsup.gif

a shift kit isnt just upping the pressure. its a shift kit.

Rvo make their own kit with a spinning lathe and other tools. which is why its alot cheaper than the transgo

this.

people will prefer trango for the name, and back up they get from the public. If i didnt find RVO(and didnt wanna be a test mule) I would have gotten a transgo kit.

but as said, Jethro and myself are happy with the RVO kit.

How much cheaper?

can you tell us what RVO do to make the shift kit work....and I'm not being a smart arse.

guy's below is a short read for you....just so that you know why the shift kit is important when you do start winding up the power......no pun intended with the Transgo site either!

ill give em a call and find out exactly what they do.

but when i was looking for transgo shiftkit installs at the time I was doing it, the cheapest quote i got was something like $850 where as RVO virtually halved the price so yeh give me ten minutes lol

I know what you are talking about with the pricing....I got quoted a supply and fit for the Transgo from my gearbox place of $850.

Kit in Australia(And he has dropped his price $150 from last weekdry.gif) : http://www.ebay.com....c#ht_2769wt_907

Kit out of the US: http://www.ebay.com....b#ht_1336wt_907

yeh i think the Aus one is what i found when i was doing mine. but if you guys prove the transgo to be the goods, and i decide to keep the stag, i might convert

Whats the diff between the US one and the one from your OP? Why is there a price difference (not having a go - just curious)

You spending cash for no reason again Aaron? :rolleyes:

if i keep the car. might as well

there is no difference, which is his point lol

i thought we were talking about this.

Hmmm, let me see. $320 or thereabouts for a transgo kit delivered from the US- takes about a week to WA.

Or $650 for a transgo kit delivered from over east- takes about a week and a half usually....

So, save myself over $300 and get it quicker? Decisions decisions....

Story of our lives. When I converted my arx to a normal stereo after the bose stuffed up, I needed a standalone AC controller board. $550ish from Nissan here- and they'd have to order it in. OR less than $200 delivered from a dealer in the US and it arrived within a week. Unfortunately companies set their prices per country according to sales volume- we simply don't have the volume here to compete price-wise with internet sales from the US.

Jethro can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think is point was why is there a price difference between the US ebay one and the one in the OP. There's probably a very good reason for this that I have no idea about... something missing no doubt.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
