Thanks for the replies guys, I was expecting the usual "It's no as easy as just blah blah..." replies TBH!

Mike - I wasn't aware of the Skyline's transmission being SO strong, that's quite something. I much prefer the R33 to the R32, is it a similar story with the transmission on that, and are there any other reasons for you mentioning the 32 as opposed to the 33, or is it just cost? I listed transmission in this thread because I know they need serious attention on the Cosworth if you don't want to be replacing them every three launches Very fair point about buying one already done, but it just isn't the same as doing it yourself and knowing precisely what you've done is it? Hard one that....

chip - Fairy nuff, but they don't appeal in the same way the others do!

timrud - Indeed that German one really is an animal, never really been a Nova kinda guy though!
