I MANUAL SWAPPED MY G35!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I took on the task of manual swapping my g35 sedan! I’ve got to say it is definitely worth the effort I can’t be happier with the swap. Watch my video as I build my sedan from scratch in to what I’ve always wanted.
THINGS YOU NEED FOR THIS SWAP
-Manual CD transmission with clutch kit (get manual trans pilot bearing as well for your crank)
-clutch pedal (sedan or coupe or 350z the pedal is all the same)
-Master and slave cylinder
-generic brake line (5ft single piece)
-rubberized slave cylinder fluid line to chassis
-12 gauge sheathed wire (3ft)
-interior center console from a manual coupe or sedan. The auto center console will not fit
-the manual transmission has a different black crossmember in the back make sure to have that as well the auto one from your car will not work.
That’s all the parts you will need to complete this swap and have a running and driving car! For any specific questions I will be happy to answer in the comments!

Aight I'm definitely doing this when I get closer on the Ls build/swap on my g35. Always wondered how easy it was to manual swap and auto g35. Now I know. Good content bro.
man as a mechanic it was hard to put these engines in a G35 but my G35 was already a factory manual but congrats for the manual swap must took a hell lots of work to get this in and out but congrats
Congrats man, wish I had the knowledge n space to work on cars like you. One day till then really enjoying your videos

Thank you bro & I’ll definitely keep them coming 🤝
Im glad i found your chanel. Because i'm also removing the engine and transmission drom my 2004 g35 sedan automatic. Had a rod knock. I plan on rebuild it with new rod bearings, if i find a kit to overhaul it i will buy that. Great first video and this video is very entertaining.

Thank you! & it’s interesting that you’re going with the rebuild instead of the replacement. Definitely let me know how that goes because I’ve always opted for a used motor with a warranty due to the price being cheaper.
thanks for giving us good content
I have a vhr in my g35 coupe wish I could continue but can't I'm too deep into it and can't afford to continue due to personal stuff but glad i got to see how a manual swap is done on the G platform for possibly the future
The gear shift and manual transmission position in the automatic sedan, is where some light fabrication & welding would come in handy. That center console looks like a pain. I've been wanting to do this with my G35 sedan.
You are goated my man 🐐
Great job!!
just picked up a free g35 sedan, and this is my exact plan. have an engine already just need a trans and some other small stuff but cant wait to start the process fully. great job!

It looks amazing you should do a dash bored swap and make most of the interior black, it would look better since the tan dash is cracked/ damaged.

If you get a u1000 code for a canbus error it cannot be erased. You would have to replace the ecm/keys from an auto to a manual ecm and keys. This is caused due to the ecm looking for a tcm that doesn’t exist (it’s inside the valvebody of the RE5R05) I’ve done this swap years ago and no tuner could clear that code. You can run it with the u1000 code with the auto ecm but the MIL will stay on and I believe lose cruise control

Why did you need a manual engine don't you just need a transmission?
@DripMyWhip
Жыл бұрын
I didn’t elaborate what I meant in the video but you’re correct just a manual trans. I said manual engine referring to the different pilot bearings the engines have depending on what transmission is mounted from factory. Auto engines have a larger bearing wrapped around the outside of the crank where as manual engines have a pilot bearing inserted in the crankshaft itself. Make sure to have the right one back there before you change transmission types 🤝

As much as that sounds fun that’s a task for a full custom shop to fab a tunnel, create different subframes and cradles and much more. If you want a vq that’s rwd it’s best to choose a Z/g chassis. Also the 3.5 vq in the Altima is not the same motor so that will have to be changed as well they have different blocks
Y u sound like that
