I saw the post about him killing the engine at Dono, but the above sounds more serious than that?

Come on Craig.........

Of course Broms gearbox *worries would also be addressed at the same time

* On the day before Donnington, he posted up that he did not think his T5 box would last the day (at full boost).......he also said he had other plans if/when it failed.

Doug,
So he's going to put a 318iS engine in it (which is what came out of the Redline car) .

So a 3.2 Evo engine with GT35 - . What about the VANOS etc - can the S8 control all that, or is the VANOS being scrapped?

He should go for the full Skyline conversion though, 'cos at least that engine is designed for turbo-ing and there are loads of bits available .

Actually, as you say the Skyline Engine & Gearbox would make A LOT more sense..............loads of tuning options
