    4 boxes = $1000 w5# = $1000 just upgrade it so you can thrash it harder.. IMO everytime i slapped the t50 box i was worried.. Now i am worried as i need more power to utilize the w58 box

    my opinioun is this........... No matter what car brand or anything if you kill the standard part say more than 2ce then up grade cause often just replaceing with the same part can often end up costing more than the upgrade itself in the long run. spend the money now and get a strong box aka w5x you will never worry agen.

    Just wanted to ask... my W58 has some kind of traction control module on it... Don't know what it takes readings of, but it definitely exists, lol. Does this point to this box being out of something in particular?

    Where will it stop? Will it ever be finished? How will it go? Why am I not wearing any pants?

    electronic speed sensor, most like out of ga70 or n/a series 1 jaz80 supra others all use a cable speedo drive im pretty sure, jza80 boxes have a remote shifter housing thats mounted with big alloy brackets ( same brackets and housing as a V160 and jzx100 R154
