Dude, i dont know where you are getting you info from but it is ALL WRONG. Doing an LS swap is NOT cheap so if the bargain route is what your after, you might as well move on now.
First this swap will run you $15-20k easily and if you are really good about cutting corners and saving money you may be able to do this for $12-13k. Its on par with doing a quality TT setup on the car.
Second, you WILL need a new transmission. You must use the T-56 that comes with the LS engine for several reasons: its gonna be a lot more expensive trying to have a custom bell housing made to fit the stock Z/G 6speed. Then you'd have to have the tranny built because the torque curve of an LS motor will surely bust it apart after a very short while if not immediately.
After having the stock tranny built, you have then buy a strengthened driveshaft because the factory nissan shaft would again snap like a twig under the torque. Hence why all the kits include driveshafts in their kits.
Additionally, and without insulting you, but I can tell from the content of your messages that you are FAR from the knowlege base/skill neccessary to complete this build in your garage, thus you NEED to have a shop do this swap for you to save you the money on the back end that you would surely spend. So now must include labor cost in your equation, there go that idea of $12k
Next you have to buy a stand alone or get the wiring harness installed. Either way, theres a bunch of tuning involved to get the motor and everything running properly and in concert with its new G35 home.
Oh and don forget the actual drivetrain (Engine & Tranny) that you must purchase which will run you about $5k used. And the $2k+ for the swap kit.....LOL this is no bargain option.
