Don't even go there!!! We all know what you are laying down. By the time you upgraded your turbo and all the supporting crap to make your kit functional you are behind the curve. So good luck with that.

I wonder if Elmo drinks a gallon of Kool-Aid every day.

See video in my thread for the joke.

If there is still a slot open I'm in. Shoulders are to fvcked for rowing gears, not interested in the new Z and don't want to trade for an auto. I'll be the guinea pig on an NA car for a bit

How many miles is the cutoff when shopping for a transmission? I'll be NA for a couple more years so no worries about overpowering it for a while.

Its totally open, it never actually ended up going into production. The company that made the transmission controller that was used in Sebs car for R&D lead us on for a very long time but ultimately never did produce any more TCMs and has pretty much fallen off the face of the earth.

This means that, for the foreseeable future, it is not possible to provide any type of assistance or support for wiring and controlling the transmission. I can produce and sell the parts that allow for a physical bolt-in solution for the transmission. But wiring and controlling that transmission and shifter solutions etc, will all be dependent on the individual installer, who will have to use one of the other standalone TCMs available for these transmissions. This will take a lot of research on the matter, which is honestly going to be quite a bit out of the scope for 90% of DIYers. There is a whole lot to have to learn about to do it, and its a real shame for any human to invest that sort of time into it learning it and figuring it all out, to merely do it just once.

The hours that go into it will also make it unviable for most customers who would consider having a shop figure it all out for them, unless such shop was willing to invest their own time for the sake of learning it and supporting it. But if someone was going to be paying hourly rate for a shop to learn it from scratch and do it, we are talking about probably 10K + in time.

So for these reasons, I have sorta let it sit on the backburner not really sure if its worth producing a batch of them or not.

You may find this interesting....

After I posted the video where I was controlling the G37 gauges via the CAN bus, Daniel from SU2 Performance in Olsztynek, Poland asked for some CAN bus reverse engineering help for his TWIN TURBO 370 with the ZF8HP!!!

He sent me some CAN bus logs and in a few hours he had what he needed.

Here is a video showing the car from their youtube channel, but is isn't in English:

Here is a pic from under the car:

phunk is correct... that is the best transmission for the 370z!

Andre_ems on IG. Tuner in S. FL. is DCT swap and shifting. HR S14. Has videos of it shifting. Might want to hit him up.

LOL sorry for the misunderstanding but we have already completed the swap with a running and driving twin turbo 370z long ago. Andre learned of the DCT swaps from my facebook posts about it.

Not good. Hate it that the TCM folks ghosted everyone.
