GTM has put together a really complete and well thought out kit guys. We are wrapping up our VQ35HR GTM TT install, and we've already started on our VQ37 G37 TT install as well. We'll post pics and results once we wrap them up. East Coast guys, feel free to give us a call. We are an authorized GTM installation and dealer facility.

Curious about this kit on G37's with auto trans.. On 350z's, the stock trans could never shift fast enough on its own under WOT on a F/I car. Valve body upgrades sure helped or early shifting in manual mode...

Is the G37 transmission any different? Is a valve body upgrade still needed for the above mentioned reasons?

^It should be the same... I'd suggest VB upgrade for your G37.

I haven't purchased a G37 yet, but I have a supercharged 350z with a VB upgrade -and I hate it.. It is great during race situations, but annoying in normal driving. Stop and go commuting is terrible as it is always jerking into 2nd and 3rd and then back down to stop.

I guess that's the downside of owning a 5AT...

I knew I should have bought a 6MT as well.

The drive train will hold up just fine, especially since the newer engines makes less torque than the previous VQ's, at the expensive of higher RPM and HP. Just will need a new clutch that is all.
