M35 6 Speed Or Awd

[KiwiRS4T]

Any M35 drivers prepared to ditch the awd to get a 6 speed manual should have a look at this V6 into R34 build: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Vq...tt-t283253.html

He starts off planning to stick an RB25DET box in it but now has a 6 speed 350z box. An interesting project even if you don't plan to do the same!

ive thought about it plenty of times. but it comes down to cost and availabilty of parts. that said, there was a V35 6-speed on IM with the pedal box and all interior parts and tail shaft...... i think it was $2500odd + shipping + IM commission.

Interesting project, but I think if an engine swap was in order I would go for a VQ35, get it TT'd and keep the AWD.

Unfortunately, such a project is not possible at the moment.

i think the auto box would require WAY too much work to sustain the power.

i dont think a RWD VQ25DET M35 would be a bad thing. the 350S is RWD, and besides forced induction on that motor, the 25DET could put out a hell of a lot more power!

350S is the Autech, yeah? That would be my pick: turbo conversion in a 3.5L RWD manual M35....Awesome.

thats only IF PM35s can be complied...............

if not, then we will have to make do with what we have!

I'm happy with my C34, anyway...
