Well done there. The stretched body is a 'must' in my opinion. It just adds so much extra comfort.

The T5 is fine, IF you use a different diff ratio. The standard R32/33 is about 4.1-4.3 and with the T5, that means it is pretty busy on the open road. Great for racing possibly. The low first gear means that it really becomes a 4-speed 'box. You can get second hand Nissan replacement diffs at 3.1-3.7 that fit into the Nissan rear end quite nicely. They are quite cheap ($200-400) and mean that the T5 is just fine in use.

There are several prior threads on this if you search them.

Keep us posted on your progress and there are plenty of folk willing to help who have been along the same or similar route with the Harrison.
