Yea I had a shift kit and transcooler sent to me from MV Automatics from Adelaide, as part of the SAU group buy. Installed in Hyperdrive as I was doing other things with the car. Forgot how much it was, but you can have a look at it from the group buy section, I think they're still doing it.

As far as Auto shops in perth, I have no idea, would be great to find out because I plan do to other things to the autobox.

Yea bought the kit as I was approaching 200Kw. The kit was fantastic, maybe a tad brutal on the 1st to 2nd changes.

I also ordered a new filter and gasket kit from MV Automatics. Should give them a call they answered all my questions..

As long as you maintain the gearbox well it could actually handle a lot of power and live a long healthy life. Not sure how long it takes to install the shiftkit but its not that difficult apparently. People from the group buy manage to do it in their own garage as you dont need to take the gearbox out. I just cant be bothered not to mention I dont have a garage haha.

As for my exploits I think I made a post sometime ago

i was thinking of doing the same thing after i get tune and injectors was gona try my mates uncle who owns some auto place in osborne park. Either that or get the kit from MV and install it myself as my dad owns a workshop so i can do it on the hoist there if you get one too maybe would could do a group install

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
