Hey guys just a question, is this job hard to do and will I need a lot of parts to do it? I heard all I would have to really change is the ECU. Would the ECU need to be reprogrammed?

I have a 99 Maxima is it was pretty easy to do a 5sp swap from the automatic, just wondering if the G35 sedan auto to manual swaps are as easy. I'm looking to buy a used 6sp tranny with decent miles.

Did anybody do a swap with their G and if so how is it holding up? Thanks.

 

Will cost you at least $8,000. It's only been done twice from what I know, and costs around that much. You will need the tranny, I think you need a new crankshaft (someone did it recently and said that they needed one), a new 6MT ECU, pedals, and everything else. Unless you are extremely mechanically inclined and know what you're doing and can do everything yourself, it will cost $8-10k. Not worth it IMO because I've thought about it as well.

 

If I owned a 5at I would sell it and buy a 6mt before I undertook that project.

 

Where I can see a list of what is needed to do this kind of swap?
In my case, I could buy a 2006 350Z engine "with manual tranny flywheel", for around $750. I just want to know the exact things to do in order to put it into my 2003 G35 automatic (4dr) sedan.
Is there any weblink to get this info?

 

So you guys are saying it will cost me 8 to 10k just for the parts alone? please tell me you guys are joking? what about using a donor car for parts?

 

Parts plus labor. Where do you live, ask GTM do it for you if you're in so cal.

 

Im in NYC im not worried about the labor, a good friend of mines is going to do it foe me for 700, he told me to just get the parts, i just want to know how much the parts are in tottal im looking to get used parts

 

If I was joking I would have it done already.
