Just got a quote from MV Automatice to fit the Transgo kit, $450-480 for fitting, pretty happy with that. Also getting a price from my brothers work mate that is a qualified trans mechanic.

Still tossing up if Ill have a crack myself, doesn't look too hard. Either way would like it fitted in the next couple weeks.

Yeah it includes fluid. That's my thinking also. From Craig it would be about $250 installed and returned to me plus about $100 for oil and my stuffing around to remove and refit the valve body, and the car off the road for what would end up taking a week. I can drop the car off to MV on a Thursday and pick it up on the Friday all done for $450-480.

Craig is a great option for guys living near him but I think MV is a better option for us SA guys.

Bahhhaaa.....Btw....did a VB for steve in Qld....vb taken out Sunday night by him the picked up and sent to me on Monday via TNT(my account)...he had it back and ready to install on Wednesday morning.

Just an FYI!!!

Yep, the service was awesome.....thanks again craig!

Removing and reinstalling the vb really is quite easy, it's just messy and transmission fluid is seriously stinky. I took craigs advice and left a drop sheet down, then tossed it afterwards.

It took me a little while to get the fluid levels right as what I assumed was the cold level (the cross hatched area on the dipstick) meant that once hot, the levels were totally wrong and didnt line up with the "hot"'markers......

Once that was sorted though, the car is sooooo much better to drive.

Better in drive, better in manual, super smooth on light throttle, nice and firm when you get your foot into it.

In short, get Craig to modify the vb and do the removal/Instal yourself!

If anyone was umm'ing and ahhh'ing about getting this, DO IT!!

Sooo much better. Thanks to Craig and Iian for doing the work :)

Also sorry for doing an Andy hahaha.

Time to source some awsome.

You offered to try and unplug it when Craig wanted to throw my valve body across the workshop. That's enough to get some credit for the work lol.

Maybe that's why craigs is tempremental and forgetful, it doesn't want to remember its past lol

Guys just letting you know that there is now an installer in Victoria (Scott) and radelaide (Paul). Kits are still available through me and I am still trying to get them cheaper. My next order is ready to jump on.

Craig, can you organise an installer in Newrybar?

lolz.......next time I'm up at the farm I could show you.....then you'll be trained! :P

Do I get a certificate?

What are you doing next week? I might pull mine apart this weekend & send it to you if you can fit me into your schedule.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
