www.altousa.com click on new products..then click on infinity/nissan RE5R05A
They have a kit specifically for the Z/G

Edit, clicked on the Nissan link. I noticed the Nissan kit is not under their high performance section although the PDF specs out higher load capability. What else is involved in "building" a tranny other than replacing these clutch packs (outside of VB, TC) Why is it $4K to do this service when those packs sell for ~$700. 15 hour job or 500 dollar hour is the question
Anybody build their own tranny on here?

Here's the other thread I posted. This is where I got the responses to them actually having enough issues to close up shop.

I don't drive my car very often, but when I do, I beat the f*ck out of her. She's still running strong. Forgive us "nut huggers" for sharing our experiences

Not everyone tells the whole truth either.
FYI - I witnessed your little escapade at SGP Boostedtrack350. Not gonna mention specifics, but I was not surprised in the outcome.
Everyone has the right to get upset when they are wronged....but bitchin at the waiter before you get your food is never a good idea unless you like eating loogies.

You need to take into consideration the amount of time and money we invested into SGP and not having shiet to show for it. In addition to this, the lack of customer service!

He stated the obvious. Now he's a nut hugger because he had a good experience with SGP and says what he is thinking? Get real. Anytime anyone goes against the grain, everyone on my350 attacks. RK is not the guy giving you problems Quick...shift your frustration somewhere else.

900 for tranny parts (Alto, nissan, misc parts)
250 for vb parts (transgo)
300 for tq parts (whomever)
~1450 give or take for parts
650 for vb labor (based on average of VB upgrades from different companies)
~2100 subtotal for parts and vb
~1900 labor to rebuild tranny. Let's say $100/ Hour. 19 hour job. Keeping in mind, I would imagine specialized tranny work hourly rate is more than general automotive hourly rate.
seems a little high I guess? Eh

It's deeper that what you make it seem to be. We're not talking about people ordering an intake, hose clamps or Greedy oil that have not received their parts yet. These are fully built motors, transmissions and stolen property that customers are out of 1000' and 1000's of dollars. I don't see how you can condone any of his actions because of a few satisfied customers.

Please show me where I defended anything Mark did. You reading the same thread I am? Don't start calling me out unless you wanna get into specifics. You've withheld a ton of info that I haven't said a damn thing about.

You say that sh*t like I haven't spent $50k on my car. No one is disputing the lack of customer service...just the single sided stories that I have witnessed first hand.

Isn't it ironic that you and Robertk are the only ones who seem to good luck with him? Where's everyone else?

How's the Autobahn block doing? Still knocking? Yea, the same one you were selling on here. Pretty shady.
What about those turbos on the SFR kit....no filters, turbos shot, wiring hanging out everywhere. Seems like you have bad luck at every shop you visit. I saw your ride the day you dropped it off.
How many shops touch that car before you went to SGP? TONS. Shop hopping at its finest.
Not saying you didn't get delt a sh*tty hand at SGP. I saw your car after the brake fluid and hurricane...shitty deal, really. I went through something similar, but Mark made it right. It didn't happen overnight, but it got handled.
I have a whole bag of this sh*t...should I elaborate?
