What was it like to fit? Fitting instructions included?

bit of a PITA....I am sure after I do the next 2 things will be a lot easier..........destructions come with it.

you don't even notice the shifts on light throttle

.........full throttle there is no clunking or harshness.....just super fast and precise!.....keeps the power rolling.

My gearbox would not change into 3rd at all unless you completely backed off and 2nd was flaring.....now it shifts without even thinking about it.

P.S. I have to admit at about half way I was a bit scared about the thought of drilling ect....didn't help that all the workshop guy's were laughing at me and saying they would not even attempt it.

Do the changes on full heavy/full throttle too hard or chirp tyres on changes at all?

Sorry for all the Qs just chasing as much info and still trying to understand MV's decision on the kit.

no chirping and no destructive gear changes anywhere......I am putting out over 270AWKW's and I had no issue's.

I would agree.. the more I read the more frightened I became.. Solution.. stop reading. lol

Completely right. Only start reading when you've cracked it open & there's no returning. So, are you going to tackle this as a DIY?

I've started ringing around my local guys to see who sounds most confident & if they can do it for less than ~$250 - 300, this will be my first non DIY mod :O .

Well, I heard back from a shop that does a lot of Transgo work. His sugestion was for me to buy the kit online (derr, was going to anyway) because he can't buy it that cheap thru his supplier.

Then his price for installation was somewhere between $500 & $1000 (unsure as to the extent of the work) but that included filling it up with their Valvoline trans fluid. I DON'T THINK SO. :spank:

Looks like I keep asking or another DIY project is on the cards.

$500 for fitting including the fluid isn't that bad I wouldn't think? And I've had no issues with the Valvoline trans fluid, just make sure they're using the Maxlife version, as that is the Matic J compatible one.

Anyone got a link for the fitting instructions? There are videos on the web site but I can't find the exact fitting instructions. If it's not too bad I'll just get dad to do it.

I take it this is where the price difference comes in for Craig's changeover VB. Worth it if it's going to be a hassle!

$500 for installation and Oil is a good price imo......but no more than that!spank.gif.......it's about 4 hours work with the correct tools.....but 1 stuff up and your screwed!

try this when pricing......tell them it's a 350Z auto...that they will understand...it's the exact same shit.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
