Guy's, I just thought I would give a massive thumbs up to Joel at JD Transmissions @ Cleveland. I met Joel years ago during a payment and parts exchange with Whitey at Mt Cotton. Back then Whitey was singing his praises but I didn't get around to buying an auto for my VL as it was sold shortly afterwards. I then moved onto my current ride which is my R33 GTST. Over the past couple of years I've been umming and ahhhing about getting an Auto for it but that's about as far as it got. As my car is my daily I didn't really want to go a Glide so I called Joel for some advice and before you knew it plans were made for a 4 Speed 300ZX box to slot in place of the 5 speed. My car has a 26/30 in it with a Garrett 42R on top (Previously had 580@ wheels) and as such requires a 5 grand Converter in it(The Converter Shop Converter). Anyway Joel gave me a quote and I dropped my car off. He took care of the whole manual to auto conversion for me(He sourced everything) and I just picked it up today. Unfortunately it was raining today so driving it under boost in any gear was just kicking my car sideways and generally scaring the sh!t out of other drivers so I haven't had a chance to see it really hook up. (They reckon rain all week (yey)). Anyway the main reason for the big thumbs up was when the bill came it was exactly what he quoted which as anyone who has built or modified a car would all be aware is as rare as Rocking horse Sh!t in the mechanical trade. The Car even with a 5 Grand converter drives beautifully and was to make it's way to Willowbank on Wednesday but with this weather I doubt it. Anyway Joel if you read this.....thanks alot man I really appreciate it . I look forward to seeing what it doe's down the quarter and look forward to Powercruise.

Hahahahaha told ya bill. His a good man old Joely. I was ever so happy with what he did for me with my old VL, the engine was mint the gearbox even better. For what its worth people just pop in and see Joel, a top bloke and I know he has looked after a lot of us CT boys in the past. +1 for J.D. Looking forward to seeing your skyline at PC mate.
