OK Nurgburg convinced me that an autobox is for town traffic jams.

 

What's the conventional wisdom on a manual box upgrade in terms of which box, costs etc?

 

Is there a 6 speed box out there?

 

thanks Chris

I would stick with it until it blows.

But if it blew next week - I'd still have to ask the question - so I'm trying to get in ahead of the game.

 

The box will probably last for ages yet - the car has done about 58k miles so far.

Some people have spoken about fitting the 6 speed box from a 350Z but a friend who has a 350Z is on his 3rd box, they are apparently a weak part on a 350 and would surely be even more susceptible to failure on a twin turbo.

Interesting. I wonder what is considered a strong box for a Zed with around 330bhp?

 

Maybe A Supra - OR non Jap box, Tremec T56?

How come you want a 6-speed bud? :)

Just musing - if it's worth changing to a manual why not a 6 speed?

Fair enough :) Is there advantages having 6 gears?
