Built 7AT or ZF8 Conversion

FrankEtier

I just put a VR30 7AT in my 370Z. Got about 200 miles on it since the swap. So far I'm happy with it. Super easy swap, almost plug and play... My VR30 transmission is completely stock from a 4k mile Q50. I have the fast intentions billet flex plate and a external transmission cooler. May look into internal upgrades on the VR30 transmission later on if I feel it is lacking or if it gives me any issues.

THE BULL

That's a huge price difference in just wanting a faster responding transmission.

The sad reality is that most likely that same feeling will persist with the VR trans.

You cannot beat having another gear plus proven work from the DCT. If you're planning on 800whp and plans on constantly utilizing your best bet is to invest in the expense of the BMW because the VR is still being discovered.

The issue here is ONLY VHR owners will be able to prove how much torque it will actually hold. The added displacement with the VHR means it will see boat loads of torque more than the VR at the same HP.

How is shift speed and qualify vs the stock 370Z 7AT?

So far compared to the stock VQ 7AT it is much firmer shifts and seems to be faster shifting.

With IPT valve body on my vr swap, my tires chirp and traction control flashes real quick every WOT shift in at least 1-3 and I’m awd. It’s lighting quick and firm, instant grab.

How much did this set you back?

This will probably be my next move when my 7AT craps itself...

My only problem is this: it's nearly impossible to find people that "care" and do quality work on vehicles they don't own themselves.

Who did the work on yours? I'd rather drive my car a few states away, drop it off, rent a car, drive home...let them have it for a month, so they're not working on it while drunk/hungover/angry at the world.

Might as well do it yourself. It's probably the frustrating install you can do to your Z. And that's coming from someone who has a BP turbo kit...
