I have a 2006 G35 coupe 5AT with 22k on it. It has the sport tuned package and is missing navigation and Premium package. I have made my decision and I wanna swap it out for a 6MT 05-06 Sedan. However I feel like finding a 6MT sedan is much harder than a 6MT coupe and might even opt for the 6mt coupe.

-What features will I be missing going from my 5AT coupe to 6MT sedan ?

-Is the sedan 6MT transmission exactly the same as the coupe 6MT transmission ?


Thanks.

 

You will be missing sh*tty "tiptronic"
The 6mt tanny is the same on the coupe and on the sedan.

Get a second gen sedan if you are getting a sedan..

 

I would love to but at the same time I don't want to spend more than around 1k on my swap.

 

You won't lose anything other than the access to lots of aftermarket parts. (Sedans have less) But you will be faster than the coupe, so you win. Buy the sedan 6mt.

 

So I plan to keep the 6MT sedan that I get for atleast 6-7 years. I am looking at one that is a 2006 with 40k miles on it. How much more of a maintanace factor would I be looking at for that one compared to my current 5AT coupe at 22k miles considering I would keep it for 6-7 years.?

In addition to that 3 questions:


1. Is it fine to go staggerd on the sedan ? I'm pretty sure it is, since its a RWD car but just making sure.

1. What is the best way to get OEM 19 inch wheels/tires to fit on an 06 sedan ?

2. I also have a set of Ray Games 99b. front is 19x8.5 and rear is 19x10. What about the fitment of these on the sedans ?

Yes staggered works, I suggest it actually.

Take your old ones off and put the 19s. They fit pretty much flush and awesome. Lots of guys on here run that set up.

It will work, but it depends on the offsets. You will probably need to roll the fenders in the back. The front will be fine. Offsets for the sedan are high, look for around 30-40mm.

 

go coupe 6spd. much sexier

 

That's what I ended up doing
