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!

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

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.

i thought we were talking about this.

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.

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
