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:

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

Andy

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:

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
