For people wondering about price you can source the parts for about $1200-1500 used.

The 6MT won't mate to the AWD system...You could use a R32 5MT or a R34 6MT pull out your wallet it won't be cheap. And the G35X would be easier than the G37X that may not work the G35X AWD swap has been done but a 5AT was kept.

Thanks. Oh well, would only consider doing it, if G/Z 6MT would work with a G37X Coupe. Really not interested in modding a G35 all over again (especially a sedan).

Thanks Tim. Yeah it definately isn't a very popular change that's for sure.
