Conversion Questions
Hey all, I'm new to the forums!
So i wanted to get a feeler for some work I'm going to be doing on my g35 coupe (03). When I purchased it i was fine with the auto but now I'm wanting a manual. Now before the flaming starts, yes i did a search and yes i know everyone recommends trading it for a already manual G.
However from what i gather it shouldn't be to hard, i just want to run my checklist past everyone to make sure I didn't forget anything before I start ripping it apart here in about another 1-2 months.
Trans
Ecu
Wiring (engine and dash)
Mounts
Solid flywheel / upgraded clutch
Clutch master / slave
Relocating e-brake
Pedals
Exhaust
After I Finish this next up is Coil overs followed by a nice TT setup.
Also i haven't decided on what clutch / flywheel to go with so if anyone has one they love feel free to recommend it
Oh and as for it costing 7 grand that's a load, granted i can see it getting that expensive if you have infiniti or a shop do it. but personally i don't trust other people with my cars, like I always say "you never know the quality of work, or corners they'll cut"
So far from the parts I'm looking at it will cost a little over 2.3k, Oh and on a side note, since this is my first post here. I have a passion for Nissan's my close friends and I are always tooling around on our s12/s13's or my friends r33. Which we have always done all the work on them i've done 2 rb26dett swaps, 3 sr20det swap, a ca18det swap, and were looking into a fj20 for my friends s12 that or a vq30det (leaning more to the VQ personally ) I have my own shop in a sense, i have a detached 2 car garage in the back with all my tools / compressor. Friends of mine joke all I'm missing is the lift and i'll be in business
Thanks for your time everyone!

Thanks Project must have missed this one, kind of curious as to why the dash needs to be replaced, and ya the exhaust is a to-do at the time kind of a thing
*edit* ahh it was just changing it over to a manual center console already figured that one :| going to a double din radio anyway so was planing on buying that installing it with the trans XD
