Level 10 will sell the parts to you so you can do it locally.

From a curiosity side, is this something a person can DIY with the right tools & time. Or even with the parts from level10 you need a good knowledge of transmissions?

Level 10 PTS Nissan Bulletproof Rebuilding Kit RE5R05A,RL4F03A,RE4F04A,R44F04B,RE4R01A,RE5F22A

Note that this is not for beginners and requires special tooling specific to transmission make and model.

yea unless you work on transmissions everyday then i don't think this is a DIY project lol i would never dream to crack open a tranny case and go to work myself.

I could be wrong but wouldn't those ART pipes blow with more heat from the twin turbo since they are resonated? Thats why everybody use either straight down pipes or test pipes

I am only learning.
Fastest way to learn. GO FI and learn haha
so no ART pipes on Turbo application ?

Would i be able to keep the akrapovic CBE and replace only the rear part ?
or is it recommended to replace the entire thing ?

You can keep the CBE. Just make sure to go either straight down pipes or test pipes no resonators in that area cause is close to the engine and overtime the resonators will blow and you're have an unnecessary headache. And yes 3" is best for more power but 2.5" is find.

I guess I should have said that wasn't our 7AT, I linked to show it's not a DIY thing to do.

Leroydsouza · 01-21-2015, 12:17 PM

eh ill sell the ART before getting the turbo

I have been quoted 3.5k from Level 10 for rebuilding the transmission which includes the core.
If i do get the parts from US shipped to me, What kind of umm experience would be necessary to 'upgrade' it ?
Or do you recommend me to ship core, Upgrade and ship back ?

I would go with either AAM or FI.
doesnt matter as long as i get to 500 whp with reliability.

Honestly, for the price (minus shipping) I would just ship your transmission to them.
Think of the shipping cost as insurance that if a local guy 'thinks' he can do it and screws it up you just lost badly. Level10 has been doing 350z transmissions for years and now has 2 done for the 370z.

Ah i wasnt aware they been long in the business. Thats good to know.

Honestly it just hurts , I have an approximate on shipping, It costs me as much as the transmission itself to get it done lol..so i am looking at approx 6k atleast excluding the installation of the transmission and removing the transmission out lol

OUCH really

JWillis72 · 01-21-2015, 12:59 PM

That can go both ways, if there is a problem you will have to ship it back to them.

Leroydsouza · 01-21-2015, 01:09 PM

noooooooooooooooo
why would you say that sir ?
That only messes things more in my head.

JWillis72 · 01-21-2015, 01:35 PM

I'm having that debate myself right now. I have been planning to send mine to Level 10 but the shop that works on my car pointed out that they have a local shop that has done some monster GTR trans and if I had trouble they are right here to fix it. I still don't know what I'm going to do. So far mine has had no trouble but I'm not at the 500whp you want.
