Oh yeah, I heard about some company that makes sequential 6-speeds for Skylines. I think it's called Hollinger, but you probably already looked into that.

Yes, we have checked on the dogboxes. They are a good tranny, however, it puts us into a class of racing that we do not yet want to be in. We are looking probably towards the end of next summer for that upgrade. We have also looked at 5/6 spd replacement gearboxes. The Hollinger cost typically at a minimum $12,000 USD, in the land downunder, and more here in the US.
Shipping to the US by Ocean Freight, not including Customs Importation Taxes was about $3,000 USD. Then you have to pay port charges, taxes etc on the purchase price of the vehicle.
