Hi guys,

I have had a v35 for nearly 5 years and recently sold for a v36 coupe upgrade.

I have purchased the shift kit and am waiting for it's arrival.

My query is around finding a place/person in Melbourne to install for me.

All the old forums on this are 10yrs or so old so I don't want to msg those individuals who may not even like these cars anymore haha.

I have obviously called around some shops out west where I live but haven't gotten very far/they all want to see it and I'm struggling to even get a quote...

Thanks all,

Feel free to email me even if you know a place/have done it/can do it etc etc on [email protected]

Thank you for the replies gents, which shop is that Vee37? I have tried Hoppers Transmissions and Diffs and Techtrans to no avail. I'm hoping to find a shop that has maybe done it before.

Thanks for the reminder Paul, I'm tossing up between Matic J or S, but I am pretty sure from reading Matic S fluid is newer.

I have read a lot of US forums/g37 forums BUT I have seen old posts on here from like 2012 where guys in Melb were offering prices, hoping they'll reach out to me if they still do them.

I was ltalking about the previous post, referring to estimates in the US.

ask their hourly rate.

Matic S is a lower viscosity fluid, if the manual specifies J, make sure it will happily run on the lower viscosity S before you use it.

Sonicii - I have read on many forums that Matic S replaced J? Is this not true, I found a shop that can do it but they say in their quote they won't use nissan special oil (i,e matic S/J), do you know much about these trans and if that will be ok?

Not exactly.  Matic S is a newer fluid.  Many Transmissions that specified J before S came out, can happily run on S, but they are not the same fluids (same with NS2/NS3 with Nissan FWD CVTs).  For example, my Infiniti specifies Matic S for the transmission, but Matic J for the transfer case as it requires a higher viscosity fluid.

Sorry, I don't know with any certainty if the RE5 can happily run on Matic S, plenty of forums and web pages say it can..

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
