custom props, floor pan mods, pump to control the torque split,clutch & bell housing adaptor is there anyhting else???
it is cheaper than that so may get it just to mess about but is it worth the hassel or would a 33 or 34 box be more worthwhile

Someone to control the pump which controls the torque split...
Something to operate your one-off clutch...

33 box is the same as a late 32 one, earlier 32 ones had a different clutch mech which is easily changable.

Cheap 6-speed 34 boxes don't exist.

All Skyline boxes are a LOT heavier than Cossie ones.

PS I believe it's more a case of cutting off the bell housing and welding a new one on, rather than the adaptor plate route..?

Do I really need someone else sat in the car to operate the pump lol

would it be stronger than such as the mullet box?
ally welding shouldn't be a problem & I have a spare 4wd box & hydraulic clutch already fitted

Mullets have been good at over 600bhp, Skyline boxes have broken at under 500bhp...
Hard one to call. Skyline one would probably be cheaper to fix when it breaks, cost you just buy another one for a couple of hundred sheets...!
