Its fairly complicated as you need to remove the trans sump and valve body which have around a hundred bolts holding them in. They all need to go back together in the same hole too. Read the instructions when you get the kit and make the decision then, if it seems too complicated get Craig (jetwreck) to do it, or someone local if you aren't in Sydney. It will cost a lot more if you get it wrong...

If your comfortable using spanners it's not that hard at all. One of the easier major upgrades ive done to any of my cars. When I did mine I found it to be quite easy. Just take your time, mark everything you remove and best to have a mate help out so you can double check everything you do.

No special tricks involved, just read the instructions and it's nice and easy. Then you have the satisfaction that you did it yourself.

A lot.

You'll find yourself changing gears much quicker, and a lot more responsively and when you plant your foot the changes will be very sharp and you'll get a little chirp from 1 - 2, sometimes 2 - 3, but in the wet it's anything but a chirp.

When your foots not planted its normal gear changes, but its a very noticable upgrade when you want it to be. Personally I wouldn't recommend installing it yourself. But i'd definitiy recommend getting one.

I had mine installed and a oil change with nissan matic J at my local auto shop for $300, cost me $100 labour to have it put in and i bought mine off ebays was $300 from the USA something like that, but once it was in i get wheel spin till i hit 3rd, it goes off, cherps the tyres all the way to 5th if ur nailing it to the redline on every gear shifts are really solid and fast, but one bad thing i noticed is down shifting, mine does not like it so much gives a noise sometimes (probs me shifting down at wrong times) but other then that its mint.

I'm interested, although I'm in Perth. What comes in the kit? The Transgo website is hard to get around, but I think the Transgo Reprogramming Kit is what I need. Also if this kit is installed is it neccessary to upgrade the valve body al la MV Automotives?

Sweet put me tentatively down for now. There's a WA authorised distributor according to the Transgo website but their emails are bouncing back. I'll try calling them today to see if they have it in stock as it might be cheaper for me. I'll let you know tonight whether I'll grab one a part of the group buy or not. :)

Yeh the shop i had it done in is not just any mechanic, it was an auto transmission specialist all they do is service auto's and also the RE5 box thats in the V35 is also in a few other nissans so its not a 1 of a kind and they are in cars sold in AUS so they do have experence working with them.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
