Yep change it out and treat that RB20 gearbox gently and start saving your little lunch money for a RB25DET gearbox.
The RB20 gearbox is know to be quite frail when you load it up behind the RB25DET motor.
That way, after you change it out, you don't have to cringe when you give it a boot full worrying about breaking the RB20 box.

Very nice sedan there.
Is that your partner driving ?
Well tell her to smile . . . shes driving a Skyline !
And stack another Skyline on top of the one you've got just to see eye to eye with the guy next to you !
America, the land of the giant trucks.
Ives always liked the series 2 sedan front bumpers than the coup.
Looks more finished than a couple of round trailer lights on the front

Oh thats gotta hurt !
Another sacrifice to the Gods Of Speed !

Have done this several times now.
Best method without breaking the outer section is to put the whole thing into an oven at 85 degrees for several hours to soften up the urethane sealer around the edge. Then you take a bunch of 5 cent pieces and insert them under the clip tabs around the garnish to keep them up and unclipped. Then you've got to gently pry the two pieces apart being very careful at the corners as the clear plastic will break very easily. You have to do this progressively as it tends to cool down very quickly so you've got to put it back into the oven multiple times to heat it up again. Then you need to wash off the urethane with toluene so its perfectly clean for reassembly after you put in the new light strip.

Try one of these:

Is that at the wheel HP ?
I have personally seen a R32 GTR with with 334rwkw run a best time of 10.66 in QLD and then run it in NSW for 11.2s with street drag tires.
You've got around 361rwkw so you should make it

On now that brings back memories cause I've actually done that !
Admittedly it was with an old school supercharged inline Holden red motor six.
Scared the poop out of me at the time when it went

Oh my god !
"Wouldn't press it if i was you."
That's going against human nature !
Its in humanity's make up to press that button.
If there the was a big red button marked:-
"END OF THE WORLD BUTTON DO NOT PRESS"
Before you could turn your back . . . . . . someone would just to see what happens.

Ho damb ! You beat me to it !
I was gonna suggest something like this but R32 style :

Yep !
Many years ago, i think it was Slick50 or Nulon, ran a promotion where they treated a motor with their silicon additives, drained he motor dry, sealed it up and proceeded to drive it around Australia.
So your right you may well be OK.

At the risk of being flamed mercilessly.
Use this until it pops ! :

Man resurrection of the thread after 7 years !
Yep your mechanic was right . . . however I've also used a Chinese manifold in the past and it suffered warping and cracking.
Had it re welded and supporting pins put in from the turbo flange to the head flange for support as the weight of the turbo combined with the heat tends to warp the thin tubing. Then got it machined flat.
Or you can save up your lunch money and buy a high quality exhaust manifold and you wont have to worry about it ever again.
Or just run the one you've got UNTIL you can get a quality manifold
Or . . . . . . Nup I'm done . . . . .

Now where is that spot on the wall I keep bashing my head against ? . . . . . . Oh there it is . . . . . .
-
Now that is a superb result and it will now longer be in your mind worrying about a possible dodgy con rod when pushing it hard !
-
What gearbox are you running ?
-
Get that rod crack tested !
If that's a crack your stuffed if its a fault in the forging/casting of the rod, it may be ok . . . . .
However if the rods faulty in any way it will lunch your engine !
You've gotta ask yourself are you feeling lucky ?
Cause I don't remember if you've got 5 or 6 good rods or six . . . .
So are you felling lucky ?
( and now apologies to Clint Eastwood / Dirty Harry Movies )

In the end ( after a lot of fiddling about ) I went with a Whiteline solid 27mm front and a R33 GTR 27mm hollow on the rear.
-
So how'd it go ?
I know it was raining in the morning out that way.
Was there a good turnout ?
Chasing info on this R33 GTR.
