You probably paid around £4k for it. It's a dogbox, everytime you change gear its already wearing out. This is where spares are important.
They were at the time the cheapest upgrade to a GrpN car then cheaper than an FFD for upgrades close to GrpA.
Just check first gear ratio, some of them were almost a second gear they were than tall.
Good luck with it. I hope it lasts for you.
The Skyline is a very cheap high power handling option with better features if you need that kind of technology.
