I'm going to say most of you will have heard of mighty car mods. Here is their 2nd channel.

You may be interested.

Although not traditional, should still be interesting.

VH or VK?

VK is more common in merica. Think they use them in oval racing so would be some gearbox options out there. Also used in a fair bit of drag racing as there's a few American upgrades for RE4 and RE5 gearboxes.

The RE5R05A in the M35 sits behind the VK56 in '05-'12 Pathfinders, '04-on Armadas and '03-on Titans so I'm sure mechanically it should be fairly easy to hook up, but electronics could be another issue altogether.

No idea of the differences in trans internals between the M35 and big boy versions though.

Also, this:

...and no doubt many other threads on G35Driver, my350z etc about V8 swaps to manual and auto boxes.

more support from Haltech but would they support it if it was an M35?!?!?!?!?!? :P

I contacted Haltech not that long ago and was told that they can adapt one of their products for the VQ25det but cannot control the auto transmission. A manual conversion like yours should allow standalone control of the motor

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      By Doug 98 R34 GTT · Posted

      New R34 owned here (from the US) and found a gem, '98 GTT with ~6k miles, super clean & completely stock. When shifting there's no grinding, shifts smooth, etc. The concern I have are 2 things: 1) Only in 2nd and 3rd... when maintaining a slower speed (in traffic as an example) as I let off/on the gas, the shifter will slightly move and vibrate. If the clutch is engaged, none of this happens. It's not bad, but enough to feel like something isn't necessarily right. 2) This mainly happen in 4th or 5th... the shifter slightly bounces up and down, almost like it's riding on unbalanced tires (and I do think the tires are unbalanced as I get a little of that bounce feel at higher speeds, which is maybe why it only happens in 4th/5th). Lastly, and sorry for this noob question but I want to work on this car myself, can someone teach me some on these manual transmissions? Like servicing them, best products to use, etc.; would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

      Rear suspension upgrades

      Coilovers aren't even the first step. Bushes, subframe position and alignment, HICAS elimination, adjustable upper arms and traction arms in order to dial out understeer. All these things need/deserve attention first. ARBs (There's no such thing as a swaybar. Please, everybody, stop calling them that) are useful if you want to limit spring stiffness. Otherwise you can control body roll with springs. Spring and damper rates are a function of road surface, speed and usage. There is no solution that works for all cases.

      Series 1 r33 no turn over

      Define "nothing". Is the starter spinning but not the engine? Engine turning but not firing? If the engine is turning but not firing, then you are missing either fuel or spark. You need to find whichever has gone missing.

      Shitbox Tiguan updates, got the APR OTS tune put back on (no charge for it to be removed/added back), didn't want to just come in just for that (not a fan of wasting people's time for nothing) so I purchased an APR dog bone insert. The boys at German Performance Garage said they would fit it for free too since they had 1x hoist free. Now that's service you don't normally get from most workshops. Anyhow, tune back on, snow grate pulled out, dog bone insert back in and not going to lie, a few smiles when I nailed it around the industrial area heading back onto the M7. Amayama also said 1 to 2.5 month wait for the RB25DE heater hose, yeah why not, car has been off the road for nearly 3, what's a other 2.5?

      Hmm I'm going to approach this from the other side... What is the car doing that you don't like or what would you like the car to do that is currently isn't doing (handling wise that is)
