| Uprated Gearbox Hi a friend on mine has a R32 gts turbo i think? (2.5 turbo lump) it has in the region of 600 horse at the fly and is used for drifting but its keeps dropping 3rd gear which i supose it to be expected with a standard box lol what are the options regarding uprating it im not well up on skylines yet but i do want one and am learing lol i was thinking a straight cut syncro box might be an option but who makes them? Thanks Si |

| Depends on budget and what you want to do with it really. HKS make sequentially transmissions that could handle 600atf, then there is PPG too. Or you could stick a GTR box in it. |

| Hi there we drift a good few rb25 and rb26 with 500 to 600bhp Mine own car has 500+ i find a rb25 box is fine if your not to aggressive with it. Also not to use a crazy clutch or when your clutch kicking this will not last long with 600 bhp. This is the cheapes way we sell tested boxes from £350+vat or can get useed os boxes paul |

| drifitng would hurt any gear box any way and uprated one designed for that type of abuse would be your best bet, if the bank allows it!! |

| drfiting will always kill 3rd gear on the GTSt 'box, won't be much better on a gtr box either for that matter! |
