A bloke in the group we were away with at Easter owns an 80 series Cruiser & was absolutely scathing of them. Not at all happy with the work done on his transmission. Most or all of what I have read however has been complementary of their work. 
I have no idea about that unit, but I'm content with the stall speed on mine and the valves would change how and when the gears change, I'd imagine - something else that I see no reason to change.
When warm, my torque converter is now locking at speeds as low as 60km/h which it shouldn't, but I'm not complaining! This might further delay my purchase of the unit that goes in the sump of the transmission that allows full manual locking of the torque converter so that I can give it full throttle at (say) 80km/h and it just motors on without changing gear.
Still, I'd be interested to learn more about this unit and whether or not there's a good reason to justify it, or to stay away from it!

I run a modified valve body and a deep transmission pan holding 30% more ATF fluid. Read on from here:

With my powerband moved upward a bit, the stock TC stall at 2700-3000rpm actually works well with my engine mods, I therefore elected to keep the stall at stock rpm.

Do you any info on this?

I had a patrol some years back and powered up a solonoid to give full lock up in every gear

A mob called Wholesale Automatic Transmissions have a replacement Navara module for the auto gearbox. Given how mine's performing at the moment, I think I can wait before doing something like this.
