all these guys and their shift kits.... it amazes me why they actually do it, 99/100 the motors dont actually mod well enough to bother getting trans upgraded.
get yourself a T5 close ratio box with tall diff ratio (4.11 or 3.9) to even it out and a ssolid centre brass button one piece clutch plate with a lightweight flywheel. tighten up your tailshaft replace the centrebearing and your gonna eat sh*t over any "stage 2" shift kit out there v6 or v8......
is it just to have something cool to say about the car when it comes time to sell?![]()
never late in a 3 0 .. uhhh ... intercooled turbo
yes i drive an mx6 turbo ... its probably quicker than yours.
I had the stage 2 shift kit installed in my VN V6 and it would shift very hard. chirped 2nd gear every time and would spin 3rd in the wet.
my friend has a 3.4.5 lsd dif in his Vr V6 and it too shifts hard and accelerates much better than before.
Ring up BOSS Racing differentials, as they'll be able to beat that quote by miles (well, a few hundred anyway).
another $500 and you'd be able to buy a 9 inch.
They also do Shift Kits, so if you go to them for both, you'd get even more discount.
Still rekon Manual is the way to go though, alot more fun!

anyway, Boss have an ad in the trader everyweek, with their contact details. They are down south, in the Lonsdale industral area.
You can also try Precision Gearboxes, on Port Rd, i've never been there, but plenty of mates have, and no troubles.

if u want to buy my box and LSD i'd be interested.
the reason i am sellin however is to upgrade to a turbo 400 auto converted to full manual, these are the best drag box and are only about $1100 to build then install so they are cheaper and better than the 4sp with a shift kit
Brought a new car on Friday VN SS 5L auto it has stage II shift Kit still needa do the high stall tho and ratio change do da track for the lsd, should be good....! Check it out and thanks for the offer about the trans and diff but just spent enough buyin the ss so thanks ne way and hope ya get someone 2 buy it, all the best with ur conversion....
