This thread FAILS
Starting with an auto and wanting to swap to 6mt.... FAIL, start with the right setup instead of wasting money you could use elsewhere on the build
You say youve drifted many cars, including a Z, but want to know how to set up a G....FAIL
Asking for us to link you to a build thread....FAIL, SEARCH! Why do all newbs expect to be handed everything on the forums on a gold platter?
Bottom line, the G is a pig of a car, good luck if you do choose it as your primary drift car.

Wait, does automatic G35 comes with LSD?

Wow some people are really close minded. I think weather a build is "worth" it or not should be upto the person spending the money. The chassis is more than capable. In fact, I'd dare call it excellent for drifting application. That being said. Trying to build an automatic drift car is just silly.

Car is very capable, but you bought the wrong car. You need a manual tranny. The conversion even if you do it yourself will cost an arm and a leg. I have looked into it. Plus to really setup a G you will have to do a lot of work with suspension components and the rim size is going to make for some expensive tires. goodluck OP, but I would do my research prior to posting silly threads.

I wouldn't call it close minded..this guy wants to do a conversion from 5At to 6mt which is expensive and not easy. You're better off buying a 6MT g35 and selling to 5at. But with all the suspension work you have to go through and the wheel and tire setup, you might as well buy a 240sx which is good for drifting and putting your money into that. Rather than making a luxury sports coupe into a drifter.
