$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.

have fun!!! :P

I've read that guide before and it doesn't look too, cough, daunting.

My local guy knew the gear box, but didn't spend anytime reading what was involved with the kit, hence the price range. Been caught before tho, ends up being $990 + GST, not $500, lol.

4 hrs should = $280 to $400 ($70 - $100/hr) plus oil. So $500 would be the absolute max that the job is worth IMO.

Meh, just gonna do it myself, even if it takes a whole day.

I ordered mine. Wasn't going to but you mentioned Paypal and I knew I had money left in my account...

Guess I better suck up to dad to give me a hand too... looks like a bitch of a job!

Yep I've got oil. I'm hopeful it won't go wrong!

What's the go with your changeover version? You do the hard core valve body modding and we just fit it?

Backup plan if dad doesn't want to do it is get someone like MV Automatics to do it. No idea what they'd want to do it though.

yup...you send me your kit(or I can supply at your cost)....I'll do the upgrade to the spare and send it back.....you change it over and send me your old one.

that way your car's off the road for the minimum amount of time.

So your price is $500 for the kit supplied and installed? How much just to fit the kit if we supply it?

Im thinking of finding a shop here to fit it if I decide not to have a crack. This way I will get some sort of warranty and back up service. I assume you won't offer any type of warranty if the kit turns out not to be installed correctly? Not saying this will happen, just looking at options if a shop only charges a small amount more and it comes with a warranty/backup service.

Well obviously us being in Adelaide, Craig's just going to fit it to his exchange VB, or yours if you send it up, and you have to install it in the car (which still looks like a shit job...).

I wouldn't think you'd need a warranty with Craig, but if the shit hit the fan I'm sure you'd get looked after.

Sorry mate, that was direct at bigkevracer.

Dads a diesel mechanic, workshop at Dry Creek. He has a shed out the back he uses for his rally cars, with a hoist. Thats where I do my stuff.

Im not going to stuff around. Im sure he can do it, he just might not want to. If so Ill call MV.

Nice, hoist at home, what more could a guy ask for.

Yeah Im thinking of asking MV to fit it also but Im not sure if he would as he doesn't think a heap of the kit for some reason. When I spoke to him he didn't say he would fit it if I wanted, he just said it not worth doing this kit and gave me no other option. Very weird. I hope he would fit it as having a shift kit previous;y done by him I know his work is second to none.

Time will tell I guess.

His loss, No chance the box will hold the torque this engine can produce without it, 4 of us have proven that now and Cihan will definitely ask for it to be done before he will tune another.

    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
