6MT Conversion in Progress

I have a few pics I took over the last few days, they're nothing much but I figured I'd use this thread to post the progress. I'm hoping it will be done by the end of this week (maybe next week). This is the most my car has ever been torn apart, makes me sad









Parts list:

6MT Transmission
Clutch
Flywheel
Clutch line
OEM clutch hardline
OEM clutch fluid reservoir
6MT driveshaft (has to be from a G35, 350Z will not work)
6MT shifter
Throwout bearing
6MT wiring harness (my mechanic made my auto wiring harness work, so it will take some work if you or your mechanic knows what they are doing)
Clutch pedal assembly
Brake pedal assembly
Center console
Shifter trim
Center console sides (the sides of the radio)
A custom bracket was made to hold my clutch pedal more secure
A bolt we had to order from Nissan was used on the clutch pedal, I can't remember what it was called
Shift ****
Shift boot
You will need to cut a hole on the chassis where the shift enters the interior
Custom plate for this hole to block exhaust smell and water, etc.

I'll keep it updated as best I can. I spent the better part of June looking for parts, etc. I'm using uprev to reflash to a manual ECU and I'm upgrading to Carbonetics triple carbon clutch. Can't wait until it is done!

The shop that is doing it is Paladin Advanced Automotive here in Las Vegas. Their site is www.paladinadvancedauto.com/. I'll send you a PM once I get some time to recall where I got all the parts from..be prepared to spend a lot of time looking.

Too much money and time already in the car, would cost too much to take it all off and transfer over to a new car. Plus it would be a lot of work.
