That's not how I remember it.  The Quiafe gearset was supposed to be stronger.
In fact, IIRC, the N1 gearbox is not much stronger than the stock gearbox.

Here is a snip of a message from Mike Kojima:

"Well 50% stronger is better than 50% of nothing.  It
is also stronger than any other alternative like a
bluebird tranny.  I was considering making a BB trany
conversion kit but it seems that VLSD Bluebird trannys
are so rare that they are almost non-exsistant.  N-1
trannys are also even more expensive, an N-1 tranny
conversion would cost more and not be as strong."

Here is the full message:

IIRC that is not really a six speed manual box, but their silly CVT which can
be "shifted manually just like an F1 gearbox."  If you believe that, then a
transvestite must be good enough for you as well.

Let's try to get the facts straight people.
