okay, thanks bud. but correct me if i am wrong the more bhp you run the harder on the tranny. are there any companies that build stronger aftermarket transmissions? p.s. i drive an 1989 skyline gts-t right now, but they are getting to be so many of them out here i want something few people have

No they are types of Gear sets you can get for the GTi-R. Quafie & PPG.

I was running 333bhp on a standard gear box and it was fine till I put a bigger turbo on and I destroyed it :lol:

If you are looking for around 400bhp go with a Quafie gear set and a good paddel clutch.

as long as your not doing 6k launches all the time and you look after it they should last.
