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

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:

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
