Oh yeah, what does every one think about the Supra, 911, and Skyline? Pretty awsome cars huh? They have Getrag drive trains also.

Not to take this too far off topic, but the only Skyline with a Getrag gearbox is the 6 speed R34 GTR. The 5-speed R32 and 33 were Nissan transmissions, and they have major issues with shattering the entire 3rd gear. The 6sp in the 34 is not very well regarded among Japanese tuners due to the thinner gears and, I belive, syncro problems
The only reason you never hear people bitch about Skyline transmissions is because they have at least 4 complete gearbox replacments available.
The Supra guys can't get syncros either (at least, not easily), but apparently theirs are designed better in the first place.
As for the Porsches, how many are modified for significant additional power compared to ours? How many are owned by old, retired doctors that only take them out on Sunday and never get above 65 mph?
