  1. You can't be serious. Annihilate all. Watch old yes and no.https://youtu.be/dE76eJjVIac.
    To be honest V35 wheelbase platform has far far greater capabilities and stability than any Rb26 could ever offer
    They are all alloy engine, that produce 254kw as base. Nismo racing in Super Gt series opt for this motor over the Nissan Gtr VR38DETT.....OH YES YOU CAN MAKE IT FIT.
  2. Well, now we're talking about choosing between a much more modern all alloy V6 that is more likely to fit into the engine bay, or a vintage all iron low performance V8 that is likely to be too long, too heavy, too wide.......

    Started install of flywheel / found 350Z pilot bushing would not fit into the crankshaft, so put it on my custom lathe :4_joy: (drill) and sanded it down for a nice fit.

    Installing clutch and gearbox today / Will post more photos and an update when its done.  :1_grinning:
    Here is a photo of the brake booster and clutch reservoir & lines fitted using all the OEM mounting points this was super simple.

    Tunnel Build notes: 
    • My mate and I both agreed after completing the tunnel job, cutting the lip to fit the gearbox would have been a lot easier.
    • Ill be a lot happier knowing the handbrake mount is correct ( I've heard some horror stories [emoji14] you know who you are)
    • This job will probably turn you into a heavy drinker. 
    • CVT tail shafts are not compatible with the 6MT 350Z driveline couplings. I ended up having to order a 6MT Diff too.$$$
    MORE UPDATES SOON!
    Changing of the different is well worth it for diff\gear ratios.

    Nice work Man...Once gear selector shaft has been unbolted (10mm sockethead)under square rubber grommet. Nothing should restrict the gearboxes installation. Did you manage to get 6mt crossmember support with gearbox or are you going to tap &dye new thread on current crossbar?

  5. Today....
    Did a few smaller jobs, wasn't feeling the best today..

    *Cleaned up dirt covering oil spills from last week lol, actually came up perfect with degreaser & orange power &  fine dirt from the back yard.

    *Remove auto flywheel - easy. I have a new rear main seal. It looks like the one that's on there has been replaced maybe or Nissan just use a lot of RTV sealant from the factory. My mate said if it's not leaking and seems ok to just leave it. So I'll probably do that.

    *Remove auto shifter / centre console - easy once I knew how. Two screws, one either side of console near seat, the console just unclipped as I pulled on it. Had to use the shiftlock to put the shifter lower into drive to lift the console up. remove hvac thing with two screws. then to get console out there are two screws near the front & two near the back. pretty basic. Also the manual console I have does not use the hvac to send air to the rear passengers, I guess coz I got a manual coupe console maybe? Doesn't really matter to me anyways but worth noting.

    *Drivers seat electronic controls got stuck, fixed that - super easy with a quick search on here. Just removed the controls with two screws, unclipped and roughly cleaned. Was actually super surprised that worked lol. Was easy with the console out.

    *Stared at diff for a while, contemplating getting started with the whiteline bushings, wasn't feeling it.

    Next time I'll probably work on installing the clutch pedal. Still deciding whether to install the manual brake pedal I have or just chop the auto brake pedal. And get started with the Whiteline solid bushings, probably drop the rear subframe as I have the whole bushing kit. May as well..

    On a side note when searching this forum about the centre console removal, I came across a thread where a member Adam left a post with his number. I thought f**k it and called the guy. Spoke to him for 30 mins helping me with this n that. Guy was super helpful since he's done this 6MT swap before. Hooked me up with the V35 manual too. Legend!! 

    Adam mentioned that one of the must do jobs or the car wont start is to properly index the flywheel. So I'm glad he reminded me about that. I'll admit I've been getting a bit too excited and I'm not really referencing the DIY guide link in the op. So I'll have a another read of that tonight.

    That's all I can think of atm. I'm kinda burnt out. It was very humid today in Perth.
    I'll try take a bunch of photos next time.
    Peace

     
    thank you for the mention, however I think I now got to thank you. Now I'm in the mood to do another V35. Yes taking inhibitor switch off CVT and working wires out. Just find neutral and reverse. Give me buzz if any dramas after that.
  6. When I owned a 250gt. I never found it sluggish. Infact try finding a 2.5 litre capacity vehicle on the Australian market that equals it's 160kw motor. (Naturally Aspirated). You won't, then consider the car is 16 years old. I don't believe any new car (2.5 litre) in our market comes close to its output. Great car.
