The Nissan 300ZX and Skyline (GTS-T RB25 variant) are both the same box and have held way over 700bhp in a drag application. The Supra box (V160/V161) is a variant of the G280 and is strong box. The Toyota R154 is also a strong box.

Speaking of a 265, how did you mount yours? I'd love to know since I want to do the same thing for my 104.
265 was in my diesel.
+700nm torgue and sudden tractionpeak in 100km/h, over and over again was too much. Now im driving my diesel 265 also but this one is not as old as broken one was. By the way there is no need to release throttle while changing gears whith this new box.

Now im looking transmission to my M104
