Times have moved on, A gearbox repair does not have to cost an arm and a leg anymore.
With so many specialist GTR tuners out there offering various upgrade packages, its safe to say the gearbox failure issue is a thing of the past.
I would strongly recommend looking into it, its a car worth owning and turns heads where ever you go.
With a few choice mods such as Y pipe or exhaust system it sounds brilliant.
Spend £1500-2000 on it and have yourself a 650bhp daily monster.
