The shop is called IPT racing (or something) in Wayne, NJ. Here is a link to the address:

Apparantly these guys do full tranny buildups. If they are good, then I don't need to work with someone half way across the country to upgrade mine. Has anyone ever dealt with them, on Z/G or any other car? Any kind of input on them is appreciated.
The only other local one is Level10 (enough said)...

 

Never heard but want to know very important.

 

Oh man, I'm in the same boat...South Jersey here...I'm excited

I am going to call the later on today. If I get them to put something in writing for me, I will post it up here...

 

I have talked to these guys they are in the same boat as every one else. No clutch packs besides the oem parts from nissan.But they sound like they are straight up no B.S.(LEVEL TEN)......They said the clutch plates are made by raybetos and are in development 3-6 months out..

 

We REALLY need a 5AT sub-forum. All the good 5AT info like this gets scattered across different forums.

 

Amen and halleluyah!!!

 

I agree !!!

Did you notice that their web site doesn't mention 350Z's?

I know...
I cannot say for sure that I want mine to be the car on which they will discover what can go wrong..

 

I have spoken with the John over in IPT. They will e-mail me with the detailed description of what their plan is on the Z's 5AT.
At the brief description, they add extra clutches into the clutch packs, cryo-treat the metal parts and fully re-work and re-calibrate the valve body. The car will be in their shop for about a week. I think for the NY/NJ/PA/CT crowd, if these guys are as good as SGP, this is a good alternative to shipping the tranny half way across the continent, no?

 

Who does SGP use to do thier valve bodies ? I know they dont do it in house

 

If I had a dollar for every time I wondered, I'd trade my Z in for a Carrera TT...

 

I take it they dont share that info...on who does it for them

 

They don't. I think they are paranoid that 350Z owners will start contacting that shop directly and saving themselves from bending over and paying 1100$ for something that should not be more then 600... (no offence)

 

Well... what do they know that we don't know? We have the internet, phone book, or a map. We should be able to find a company that does the work just like they did. Sounds like a good idea.

 

IPT has done a ton of auto trannies for imports. They have built a tranny for 9-sec automatic eclipse, according to their site. When I spoke to them on the phone asked them to type up the description of the tranny rebuild and e-mail it to me. Whoever wants to, PM me with your e-mail addresses and I will forward the stuff from IPT to you. This way we can share the info and keep the moderators happy.

 

What became of this?
