Yeah I'll have to do a ring around tomorrow. So many decent deals on stuff at the moment, just a lack of funds and knowledge on the M35s!

or just take your car off the road for about 4 day's and send me up the VB!

bet you I still work out a lot cheaper!

Hey Craig can you still do a change over unit?

I can...but have had a rethink on it.

In other words I would prefer not to as I would want to test the exchange units in my car before sending out......this would be a bit of a PITA!...e.g If someone had a bad Solenoid in there VB and didn't tell me the next person to do an exchange would get a bad solenoid and would be pretty pissed about it. I need to think up some kind of a system where this wont happen!....at the moment I have no ideas but am willing to discuss.

I'd be looking into an Express Post box; that way you're getting back the same VB you sent; even mark the VB & solenoids before you ship if you're worried.

Just depends on turnaround time; Express Post to SA seems to be around 2-3 days; also, you can track the package. It's not hugely expensive, (VB weighs 4-5 kgs) and insurance (loss or damage) for $650 is $15.

A courier service might be quicker; less down time.

Food for thought.

I'm willing to use my company's TNT account and that is overnight but I need to pickup and deliver from an address that is manned from the hours of 8AM to 5PM....we can just add it onto the bill....would be about about $20 each way from what I charge you.

PM me for further detail if you want please....or ring me!

Express Post should be overnight Sydney to Adelaide normally?

That's a pretty good idea Dale, would think it would work out well for most people.

When I send Sway Bars; it takes 3-4 longer to get to SA than delivery to WA.

Weird...

That was weird Dale, but those sway bars were heaps heavier, and a very odd shape.

Usually when I post express it's overnight to anywhere in the network.

I think Express Post for 4-5kgs would be pretty close to the $20 for TNT.

When I post link kits; I normally do Express Post (it's cheap, and has tracking) and Auspost won't guarantee next day to WA, SA and North Queensland.

The TNT option definitely sounds like the go.:thumbsup:

looking forward to a weeks break on this now as the next 4 kits wont be hear for a week.....I recounted....thats 7 NM35's and 1 PM35 I have done.......4 since Wednesday.

On other news guy's if you want kits I am after another 2 to add to the next buy.....to keep shipping costs down.

guys.....no takers on this....will be the last buy for a while.

Is it worth doing on a stock car?

Do you mean totally stock? As in nothing changed at all?

Dale's car is still stock turbo but with exhaust and handling mods and he found a big improvement.

I can not advise against my car as it is far from stock but I am very happy with the result.

Cheers

Yeah, Definitely.

Spot on Andy; the difference is simply a night and day improvement. I have nothing but good things to say about the shift kit.

Absolutely no downside with regard to normal light throttle driving, and when you want a solid shift; you've got it. Honestly; this is the way the car SHOULD be.

As both you & Craig have said; the difference is just compounded when you are dealing with greater than stock power levels.

Cheers, Dale.

It's been 4 days now since Craig (Jetwreck) did the work on putting the Transgo components in the VB part of the gearbox. What a difference it makes!!!!

Though, it the kit isn't much to look at for your money, it's worth every cent.

As Daleo said in his posting, the transformation is stunning. No more backing off when gear changes occurring, ie; the standard box just eases up on the

throttle when it changes gear. This was disconcerting when you are hammering it. This behaviour is a thing of the past now.

During normal driving, the changes are not noticeable but when you accelerate and particularly between 3000-4000 rpm, the changes seem almost silky smooth.

Thanks again to Craig for the work. :worship:

I'd recommend this to anyone with a NM35/PM35.

Found this while I was shopping tonight, funnily enough after Craig and I had a conversation on people overcharging for parts: http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=1198&Car_Type=G35&UID=20110915052013118.210.201.250

It MUST be better :nyaanyaa:

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
