Ok first off im new, my names zach i live in wichita ks, and i own a automatic 03 g35 coupe so that being said I'm in the middle of doing a 2jz swap and I'm going from the stock auto to a r154 so basically what I'm wanting to know is what parts will I need to go from auto to manual besides the clutch peddle slave and master cylinder and clutch line ? Now when I ask what parts I mean parts that pertain to the G not the 2jz as I'm aware mounting is suckish being that trans was never ment to be in a G...... does the center dash where the shifter is need to be changed or can I throw the peddle, master, and slave cylinders on and just go about mounting the trans? Yes I'm aware this is a difficult motor swap I didn't come on here for input on that so all negitive nancys sway away from negative comments on the motor swap any input on the auto to manual conversion is welcome though, thanks ahead of time

you need to read up on the other auto to manual conversions(or attempts)

yours has a unique change w/ the 2JZ motor that others will not have and you will likely not find much detailed info about that considering most people who do the 2JZ swap are already manual. You are doing a major change and you will need custom work from experienced shops in this conversion.

 

All this is going to be done in my 30x30 shop the I know it's not goin to be like others but I saying is there any rule of thumb with the g35 when doing something like this, like things I wouldn't know if I didn't own a g35? I mean custom fab isn't hard for me mounting is easy im just unsure of the other parts i may need (g35 specific) besides peddle, master,slave, lines and fluid? I'm just very unfamiliar with the g35 as I've owned it for a week an yes I'll get some pics of the swap up later and I'll go try to search for some other threads again but I didn't find much last time.

 

Also thanks for the speedy reply its much appreciated

 

Also if anyone knows of a thread of someone that actually completed the swap plz post a link because the only thing Im able to find are people asking about swapping an being shot down on account of its "to expensive"

 

I'm in the midst of performing an auto to 6 speed conversion for my 06 G35. How do you figure the exact spots to drill for the and clutch master cylinder? Because there is no stamped imprint on the firewall to give you an idea of where to drill holes like the 240SX chassis has. Was wondering if creating a template from a car that already has the holes drilled for the and clutch pedal would work or is there a better method of figuring out precisely where to drill holes? I want to avoid drilling holes in the wrong places and have the line up against the break pedal at the wrong angle, or have the clutch pedal sit too low, too high or too far to the left or right of the break pedal.
