Another way to do VB mod?
From what I can tell, people are having a really hard time getting the VB mod from Mobiltek. Now, what exactly are they doing to the VB? Reason I ask is because couldn't someone else figure out how to do it? Just curious. I myself have never seen the VB mod, so I could not replicate it. We gotta find more places/people to do this stuff, cause if only two places are doing it, and there are a lot of people wanting the mod, we could be waiting for a LONG time.

See, that's what I'm sayin'. I deal with vendors just about every day at work, so if one doesn't have the accessory I need, I go to another. I can understand that there are definately fewer companies that do VB mods than those that sell cellphone accessories, but either way, there has to be more people out there that do this stuff....we just don't know about them yet. Maximus75, let us know what you charge, who's done it (who you've done it for), etc...

I charge $375 and my customers drop there car off for one day. (drop off in afternoon and pick up in morning) I had been trying to get this tranny tech to do it for a resonable price and to come to my shop for some time because he is very good. He owns his own shop and is very busy but we were able to agree on a price. I never thought about it but I would be willing to do the VB if sent to me. Once I recieve them it's only a day turnaround.
We've done 4 Maximas only one guy from the board, Raf2kmax, and he is very pleased. We've also been getting inquires from the Altimas.net guys. We're doing one tomorrow. You can EM me at MaximumTuning@msn.com
or call the shop @ (516)-676-8470
I would also consider a discounted price for a group deal.

seximagtr - well let me talk to the guy on the board and see what he has to say, and I'd be happy to have mine recalibrated by you, especially if it only will take you a day

But I'll repeat it again:
If you drive your car down to Texas, he can do your VB in a day also.
Some people are lucky and they're in NY and can go to Jeff's shop. Other people across the country seem to think that they can take out their VBs, send it to Jeff and it'll be sent back. I'm just letting everyone know that this "one-day turnaround" is only if you take your car into the shop.

There's no doubting that clee...I think that we just need another person to be able to do the VB mod. If 50 people want this done, and all 50 send theirs to Don, then it will take him quite a while to do it. If there are two people that can do the mod, then then turnaround rate will be faster. It's good to know that someone else does it.

While I do give him credit for offering to do VB mods, his VB mod is relatively "new" compared to Don's. While there are plenty of positive reviews for Don's VB, there are only a few reviews so far for Jeff's VB.
Not all products are the same and Jeff's VB and Don's VB might be similar and people are all excited that there's another person doing VB's now. But they have to realize that the VB's probably aren't exactly identical.
For example, for a long time, Cattman was the top dog for y-pipes. Now, everybody is supporting Warpspeed with their y-pipes. Hey, who knows, maybe by this time next year, when someone asks who to go to for their VB mod, people will say, "Let Jeff do the VB mod."

bump update
i rode in cmac's max and the shift was very fast... Great modification and i acutally saw 2 vb mods done in less than two hours, thats b/c the maximas one 4th gen and one 5th gen was also getting something else worked on while on the ift... buti think jeff and his tech guy can get a maxima mod done in half an hour. or so.. i was talking to the tech and he seemed very educated and was telling me information on how the vb works, while he was doing the proccess. cool guy , wish i had the money to save my tranny.
and 3 months latter, and the demand is still growing. and there have been people driving from WI VA NJ CT DC PA all around to see jeff and all where very happy, and said that it was worth it. Comgrats Jeff AKA Maximus75, Your the North East heros for the maxima owners out here. And The tech guy has hands like a surgeon, and does effective work, also giving you a badd asess ride.

Re: bump update
I believe I am the only one from WI.........for now. Jeff did excellent work, and I am looking forward to see his showroom in 5 years or so (right, Jeff?).
It took me one hour less to drive back from Long Island....
