Well I can't see that on Trade-Me but I'm sure a 915 trans would be up to the job. A bit low geared for a V8 but probably fine for a high revving six. The bad press with the Audi is for the 5 speed, I believe guys that have changed out to the six speed have cured their problems. In saying that, torque is the trans killer and a 3 litre Nissan shouldn't pose a problem for either of the Audi or Porsche trans IMHO
