grepin Member 109 Member For: 18y 29d Posted 04/02/07 12:05 AM Share Posted 04/02/07 12:05 AM Hi all.New to the forums as I am looking into an XR6 T to replace my 4wd and 300rwkw Skyline. Going back to one car and need to tow a boat plus have something to have some fun in. XR6 T seems to be the best choice especially already having turbo experience.Anyway I will probably end up with around $29000 to spend. Now this will only get me into a BA 4spd auto. Is the BF with 6spd worth the extra 10K or maybe I could bolt up a 6spd to a BA later.The idea of a $25k BA and slapping $5k worth of mods to it is appealing.

But if it were me I would go for the BF with the ZF... Oh that's right I did http://www.flickr.com/photos/mowog/377217594/I also have an SY Territory AWD with the ZF and it is just an awsome gearbox.

did_4m41 Member 26 Member For: 18y 17d Posted 04/02/07 06:07 AM Share Posted 04/02/07 06:07 AM your situation is almost same as me. I won't buy ZF 6 spd at the moment (by considered this, money is real factor of course). what I mean is the new falcon is one year away (hopefully), so I think new and stronger ZF 6 spd should be there. anyway, just my opinion.
