Cost of Transmission Rebuilt

It's not like the Z AT is some magical transmission. But like virtually every other aspect of the car, the demand dictates the aftermarket market. The Z doesn't sell many cars in first place. Even fewer have ATs. And far fewer go boost. So it follows there aren't a whole lot of companies willing to throw money at R&D for AT built transmission option for the Z.

There are a number of guys who just tune down the torque to accommodate the stock AT weakness.

2.) Order Exedy performance transmission clutches from Z1 or a Level 10 rebuild kit

3.) Find local torque convertor shop and rebuild to desired stall speed

4.) Order transmission flex plate from Fast Intentions(may be able to get something comparable somewhere else ... haven't checked)

5.) Order Valve body from Level 10

6.) Add up the expenses and realize that Level 10 isn't that expensive after all. One stop shop with warranty. Notice that Level 10 has most of the parts and expertise in the Nissan 7AT market.

Do your research and decide on your own what course of action is best for you.

Good luck.

And super charging is easier on our auto transmissions.

But Keep in mind, I don't drive this car and beat it to death, I don't drag but maybe street race with friends here and there. I want that kick when I need it

I'll never will again and will buy the GTR instead.
