I ran 410bhp/400lbsft torque on a ver 6 type r box i ran a 11.9 at santapod and it had plenty of drag abuse and held up to it fine but I think if it had any more torque it probably would have let go

^^

The V6 boxes are 'rumoured' to be stronger than the earlier ones, think Martyn from Enginetuner has been running in excess of 500+ in his with good knows how many drag launches in it, it did let go eventually though.

i thought the boxes were the same in the v5&v6 apart from the limted's which had the option of a longer 5th gear???

The v.5/6 (or is it only the v.6?) 'box casing is stronger, being an 8-bolt TY754 rather than the earlier 4-bolt TY752...

(I think).
