would you be using the 350z tranny
with a custom drive shaft ???

any info will be most helpful

the motor is expensive.

of course you will need a custom driveshaft, mounts, etc.

just go sr and save yourself the headache.

save your moeny and dont even get an SR with the money that you spend on the SR swap you can have a kick ass built KA.

From what I here, even if you run a stand alone/create your own harness you need to be a nissan service tech to do it, or atleast know a rediculous amont about electrical and Nissan 2nd gen. OBD2 sensors and codes. and even if you do the swap I wouldn't use the stock VQ35DE tranny it's glass it's the same tranny as the S15 SR20DET 6spd. (once u push respectable power it will shatter).

The S15 uses the FS6R92A (took me a while to find that) while the Z33 uses the FS6R31A. The early Z33 transmissions did have syncro problems, but the gears themselves are quite large and strong. There is a Z in the 10s with the stock 6spd, and plenty of boosted Z33s with plenty of power that don't break the transmission.

Thank you. I was hoping someone would chime in and prove there are still intelligent people on this board.

I read in a magazine recently that compared to the RB25/26, the VQ35 swap would be better for autoX or time-attack racing. thoughts? (yes, I realize this is an old thread but this is one of only two that popped up when I searched

)
