The transmission cooler can be made with parts available locally. Combined with a good aftermarket radiator, should be a cool combination, which is probably needed if your boosting.

I would be interested in a Level 10 clutch paks kit, torque convertor, and valve body. That with the other parts could be done locally and be a killer combination. Not sure if I could do it though, as I need to read the manual.

Thanks for doing the legwork on this question. :tup:

I asked Pat from level 10 if their kit includes 'shim plates', he told me they do have 'steel plates'. I am guessing they are the same thing.

If you want the Level 10 Valve Body, you have to send in your VB to them. They only do it inhouse. Torque converter you can purchase on it's own from them.

So atm my trans upgrade will be something like:

F.I. Flex Plate
Level 10 Rebuild kit
Locally upgrade torque converter from here or order Level 10s TQ converter
19 Row Trans cooler
Line pressure adjust via UpRev

I wish I could do a VB upgrade, but it would cost me too much to ship my VB to LVL10 and back from Australia. And unfortunately no transmission specialist I have talked to so far in Australia can do a VB upgrade on the Z's 7AT. :(

I was told 4200$ for the 1khp upgrade but that was almost 2yrs ago now

I sure have tried them. As a matter of fact I have been reffered to them by many trans specialist here in SA, but unfortunately they will not and cannot do the VB upgrade.

There was a guy on a Navara forum a few years ago, who wanted to upgrade the VB on his JR11E7 gearbox, same gearbox as our Zs, and he went to MV automatics aswell but MV don't want anything to do with VB upgrades on our veichles. Don't know why... :(

But I did speak to NizPro in VIC, and they said they will attempt to do the VB upgrade if I can leave the car with them for a few weeks. But the thieves also wanted $8K to do it.

So I just said good bye.
