From what I remember people on s2ki did big turbo builds on stock transmission, the weak link was the differential which was remedied by going aftermarket.
To this day I can't think of a manual transmission that shifts as nice as the s2k.

But for 90% of the other vehicles ive driven with 200+ lb-ft torque and 250+ hp, the Z's transmission is not bad.

I was being a bit sarcastic
I used to have an s2k laying ~530wtq, trans still felt great (although it was definitely less reliable if abused).
OnCallZ, as you noted, the diff was the weak point. Ironically enough, I remedied this with a 300ZX TT diff
Were you on S2ki?
