350z Transgo VB Question

Just recently bought a Transgo Valve body upgrade and I have a few questions I wanted to ask.

Firstly; does anyone know of a mechanic/transmission shop which can install the kit? Would prefer a trusted, or at least a person who has done it before but I know that may not be the case. I'd also like to know from anyone who has one installed if they noticed after a while more wear in the transmission itself than ordinary? I know with each modification done you will wear systems out faster but would like to know if anyone had horror stories. I've searched around on multiple forums to find a place and I've seen a lot of recommendations for this VB kit as well which is why I went for it.

I do but it could be a bit far for you if you are in Aus, the UK, the US or Christchurch. Put your hometown up.

Sorry forgot to put that one specific detail up. I'm in Perth and I can't really afford to drop the VB and send it either.

Most guys probably do it themselves - just be carefull to keep everything clean and watch out for odd parts falling out. Otherwise just ring around a few auto transmission shops for a quote.

That makes sense. For the most part I've done all mods so far myself but I don't trust myself still being a novice to touch a VB. I'll call some places like you suggested. Thanks for the info though.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
