It's in the shop now, tranny upgrades include beefed up valve body, torque converter and clutch pack and some other minor things.

Also now that the tranny is dropped, I'm now able to install the rear (front is installed already) Racingline Motor Mount Insert (MMI) which will stiffen up the engine a bit more...

Still a 2" drop up front but I jacked the back up to stock height for a more level stance. After shaving the front RLM bumper 1-1/2" I now have 5-1/2" of ground clearance up front.

So currently I'm doing research with my tranny guy trying to locate said parts. If the're out there, I'll find them...

I know you will. The way our tranny's are dropping there will definitely be a market for better parts. I plan on keeping my car for a long time, unfortunately I don't have a lot of faith in the rebuilt tranny the dealership put in my car

. I am expecting at some point, I will probably need to replace it again. By then it will be out of pocket expense, but maybe by then we may be able to rebuild them "better, stronger, faster"

LOL.

When you're dedicated to a project ANYTHING is possible, when SOOOOO many said a turbo 6th gen was impossible I made believers and fools out of numerous members of 3 different Maxima forums, these projects are not easy nor cheap so with that said, my easiest day is always yesterday...
