$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.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
