sco_aus Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 The R200 will be more than strong enough, remember Skylines have just a short version of it and there are GTRs holding a lot more than even 300kw. A whole 280 for $1000? Thats not bad, depends on the condition, but yeh they are selling pretty cheap so it sounds good. Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted February 23, 2009 Moderators Posted February 23, 2009 If you see some pics of some zeds on the HybridZ site with fully tubbed, V8's doing massive wheel stands, I think the diff should outlast cockroaches on this planet. Quote
