adey is an unknown quantity at this point
the tall end should have nothing to do with drifting, it would only really be useful on the highway (better gas mileage).
It's also been said (and I believe it) that the 6spd tranny (i assume we're talking about the silvia s13/14/15 5 speeds and the S15 spec-R's 6 spd trannies) from the S15 is slightly weaker than the 5-spds because there's another gear in the same sized tranny, and in order to fit another gear in there they had to make the other gears smaller.
from what I hear, "drifters" actually change the 6spd out of the spec-R in favor of the 5-spd, because it can take more abuse.
