Usually, the time spent shifting, is more than the gains you get from the shorter ratios.

my main question is, has anyone ever done it? is there a 6spd tranny that will bolt up to the 4g63t?

alright the 6spd talk ...SHUT UP.... its retarded seriously it is lol. why the hell do you want a 6spd? I hate when people say that because its just to say "i got a 6 sd" its not that cool. and seb even the shortened gears are not a good thing.. Ever see and STi or Evo MR in action it is quick funny to watch. Ever wonder hy MR guys swap in a 5 spd? most of the MR owners bought them only for the 6 spd now they are taking them out. THEY SUCK. the supra, 3s, vettes and some other high end cars its different they have longer gears. Short gears suck who wants to make a 1320 pass in 5th gear? that is a whole lot of slowing you down shifting.

No offence but saying lets put a 6 spd, is one of the most ricer over used comments in the world and it bugs me so I have to jump on it. Just because its 6 gears doesnt mean its a good thing... in most cases it doesnt.

Mike, take it easy. Not everybody knows that so don't be bashing them. TACT is the word i think i'm looking for.

JP i can't believe you really asked this question.... 240 is one of the most well known cars in the tuner world. Yes they are good cars, yes they can make good power. Swap a sr20 into it and ur good to go, its a VERY simple swap which can be done withing 4-5 hours. You can also swap a rp25 or rb26 into them but IMO they are not worth the money just to say you have a skyline motor.

I would definitely get it . Those cars have some serious potential.
