Hey all im new to the skyline scene, Im a holden man myself and im looking for a weekender prety much (have vn wagon for work thats on gas so cheap to run ). Now with holdens the 5 speed is called a T5 and the 6 speed is a T56, the 6 speeds ment to take a fair bit of punnishment were as the 5 speed dusnt like it.

So what i want to no is what are the 5 speeds like in the 33 are they eqivalent of a T5 like in a commodore or they different?

Just want to no if they will take some abuse like clutch dumps and burnouts. The reason im straying away from commodores are that what i want i cant afford and the next best bang for buck i recon is a skyline because they are geting prety cheap now 12- 15 k for a half decent 1...

Im just not sure what to do. Just looking at the engine bay, chaning plugs looks like it would be a nightmare not much room around.

Sorry for the essay i just want to make sure i make the right descision

Manual trans in turbo skylines are MX-7 boxes............same as turbo VL's but with slightly different ratios

I think that the cost of them suggests that they have a good reputation as a decent box
