Well if the tranny cooler is worth the money SGP wants for it im in. But i want more information on it. If it has a fan like the one you showed us does witch i bet SGPs does i will more than likely buy it.

Thanks Glen

The B&M is half the price why would you but the SGP one?

Well maybe SGPS is better thats why i wanted to find out. If its not as good as the B&M one i will go with that one, because the tranny cooler i have now does not have a fan on it like B&Ms does.


Thanks Glen

I'm a little concerned about removing the VB in my garage while on jackstands. I'd let the local mechanic do it but if SGP doesn't have a core exchange I'd have to leave the car there for over a week. He would have to leave it outside and it won't be there in the morning.

I just don't want to get it out and wish I didn't. The service manual doesn't say anything about it. How do I catch all that fluid? I only have 5K miles on it, can I use re-use it? Should I get new gaskets? Are they even available?

There are a lot of unknowns.

I'd really be interested in being added to the list too. Let me know the pricing, would like the TC and possibly the tranny cooler as well. Thanks for keeping me posted Fairlady.

B&M has made a name for it's self in a specialized field. Hell I wish they would start ripping into the internal of these trannys

Yes it it safer for us to use manual mode since the tranny wont reconize all that extra power that is added by the FI kit. This is what i heard from some member in the forum with some experince.

Yea guys but the B&M tranny cooler is just the cooler SGP's is all the hoses and fitting it a complete kit. When you by the B&M you will need to get everything.

What im going to do is ask SGP is the specs on their and also if we can just switch their tranny cooler for the B&M with the fan.

Also interested in the VB, but I think it'd help alot of us if there were a core exchange program.

I have a B&M trans cooler on my G35. Haven't had any problems with it.

Please ask SGP, because 400.00 for the tranny cooler is to HIGH!!!!!!!! even if they are includding the hoses and fitting.

Can you inquire with them if there's a socal shop they work with? I'm sure there are more than a few socal people interested, if it's coordinated this way I think more people will bite.

Very interested in the group buy, but may back up due to lack of info. Need to know price, if theres a core exchange, and how long does it take? Otherwise, you can count me in.

add yourself to the the list and put maybe on the side.

Whatever names or on this new list are the people im counting on. This is something serious. i will get all info on monday and it will be posted here.

BTW everybody is intrested on the VB correct. If anyone want the TC or tranny cooler that will be taken care of later am i correct.

BTW put what you want on the side like i said so many pm's got me going crazy and confuse guys. Sorry about that.
