Yesterday i was driving with a friend who owns a 2003 350z 6mt(mine you this was the first time i ever driven in a 350z) only mod is jwt pop charger and hotchikis sway bars. Man that car feels good. It felt like he had some much control and torque. This was the final straw for me and my 5at. Now i am in the market for a 05-07 g35c 6mt.

 

5AT is awesome in LA traffic. depends on where you live bro.

 

you are absolutely right put it dosn't pack the umph that the 6mt carries just my op.

 

get gears and a valve body upgrade

 

how much would that run me?? Do you think it is better to just trad it for a 6mt. looking for a 05-07. I will even take a sedan lol.

 

It seems to me that your pretty set on wanting a 6mt. I dont think upgrading your 5at will be enough to keep you from straying. I had an 05 5at before my 06 6mt. But for me it is well worth everything. I couldnt be happier.

 

have fun finding a sedan with a 6mt, at the time i got mine there was only 1 in the 5 closest states and when i called to go look at it, it was sold 2 hrs prior.

 

Less than $2k, depends where you get them installed. Probably less then what you'd lose if you trade in. Do a search for "transgo valve body", "3.9 gears", and "4.08 gears". You got some reading to do .

 

Sell the car and get 6mt problem solved.

 

I am willing to trade my 6MT for your 5AT if your car is in white. haha.. I am actually looking for a white G.

 

He has a shorter ONE PIECE driveshaft and shorter gearing.. If you install a 3.5 FD gear in your AT it will pretty much feel the same.

I once had 3.9 gears in my AT G and a stock MT would not pack a punch harder than my car.

 

6mt ftw!

 

would changing your FD change your mpg drastically???

 

^ Upon my researching of changing FD gears, I noticed the people who say it dramatically reduces your MPG, are the ones who haven't done it. The ones who have done it say it's reduced it maybe 1-2 mpg or less, which to me isn't a huge difference considering our cars don't exactly sip gas to begin with, lol.

 

^ hahaha yea i know this car loves that premium gas...futture mod i could consider doing thats if i keep the G for a long time
