Depends how brutal you are but not long, clutch won't like it much either I'd of thought
1998 Nissan 200sx s14a , 2000 std 5 speed with nismo supercoppermix clutch bn6 Sapphire Blue
Oh oh oh I know this!
Same clutch with 380bhp broke 3 gearboxes. Two as soon as I went on track the other driving to my gran's house...
Good luck.
Does your gran live at the end of the Nurburgring?

The box will break when you need it the most, so 500 miles from home, in the middle of the night, cold and pissing down in the middle of nowhere... with the only phone in a seedy gay bar nearby.
It will never break while you have it 6 feet from your stands....
Ha unfortunately not. I literally pulled off an island dropped it into 3rd and it instantly became a 4 speed box.Originally Posted by Chriscooke
Sr20 3k miles:
1x second gear
2x 3th gear
1X third gear of a PPG drift dog box
1x output shaft wirh a ca18
All with normal street driving. Removing the vvt helps a bit but then its not fun anymore.
Buy a 300zx of 350z gearbox.

ah shitwas hoping I wouldn't have to shell out for a conversion
About 5 runs
I killed a box with 270bhp so they can go at any power and at any time
Running 370bhp for a couple of years. Now around 420bhp, still on the standard gearbox but I know it WILL break at some point.
That's road and track driving, main thing is to not smash it into gears. It's the sudden shock of power that breaks things.
im running just under 400bhp and my box is holding out done a few track days and i do like to abuse the car a bit. i know its an eventuality though....
low speed clutch drops is what does them ive found
for drifting if you initiate in 2nd or 3rd and give it a flick and let the weight of the car help you along instead of shocking it by banging the clutch out they cope much better
No burnouts either, haha.
I think slop in the drive line is quite a big factor too if you prop,diff and driveshafts have lots of play it will amplify the shock
