The trans brake is putting the transmission in 1st gear and reverse at the same time. I wonder if this could work with the 5AT or if Nissan did something to prevent that from happening.

its basically the same thing, just that you would either have to get a TC that has like a 6500 stall (retarded) or it would be a normal TC which is like having the 2-step at like 3500. the trans brake is so you can have a normal stall TC and still launch at like 6500

Probably so.....I'm at the point where I'm so tired of trying to figure out a way to make this 5AT work so I can unleash my built motor, that I'm just going to go with a th400

I sent a PM to the guy who said he knows Tony and asked him to find out what tranny he has, but the guy never got back in touch with me. The car in the vid only shifts to 3rd gear as far as I can tell and then its banging off the limiter at the end of the run. I can't figure that one out!!

I was with Julian tonight tuning my car and we did some WOT shifts. WOW. The shifts were so much smoother, the ones I didn't miss that is, hehe.
It felt like there was almost no loss in momentum and the lift off and back on the gas bucking associated with regular shifting. I definately have to work on my shifting speed though. I would definately recommend this to those would go to the drag strip or drive on the agressive side.

Yeah, I want those wheels. After seeing those wheels I've been sort of back in the market for a change in my wheels. Did you get your car back yet?

Get a new exhaust! I saw up under there... 
Are you running a catted setup btw?
That WOT box is cool, it would push ME to be harder on the car than I need to be, so I opted not to get it.

Cool. 
Did you get new clutch/flywheel? If you have stock clutch you can enjoy the WOT box right away.
Still waiting to break in my new clutch before I do more WOT shifts.
