    Yeah i would go with the spool and diff gears. Manual conversion would be nice though.

    well, tbh not really man, im selling a manual conversion its for a series 1 vn (6 bolt) but thats going to a guy in sydney and hes paying $600 for it (plus postage) there not really that dear mate. and putting them in isnt that complicated either, if you can take a trans out, surely you can put one back in.

    hey man don't get a minispool I've got mates who have nearly been killed coming down to roundabout's not being able to stop not speeding eaither.

    the car just kept going forward being pushed by the diff the car written off lost insurance due to diff and rushed to the hospital.

    i would not recommend it. There is plenty of stuff you can do with $700 like shift kit,k$n filter, bigger throttle body, racing chip etc.

    hope this helps cheers leebo

    nothing to do with a minispool, they obviously made a mistake and cut off a car (not giving way to the right)


    to OP
    gears and spool
    get a set of 3.7 or 3.9 out of a skyline and a spool
    these will be the best bang for your bucks

    ask stealthy if you have any questions about spools, he will be able to help
