- 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!

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
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.
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
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.
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.
thanks for giving us good content
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.
subscribed because i will have questions in the next few months on what i need for the swap
You are goated my man 🐐
Great job!!
This was a great watch thanks for making this seem so fun and easy cus we all know it ain't! 😂
Yea it looks easy when I throw the car back together in a few seconds lol definitely a big job no doubt
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!
how was the sedan free ?
So dope!
Nice video bro
You are a rock star ⭐️
I need a mechanic like this in houston tx 👌🏻dope manual swap
this was absolutely beautiful i wish i could manual swap my g35, this was so satisfying to watch bro so impressed
That was one hell of a job. I can't even imagine to think what it would cost to have a mechanic do this for you. Would probably cost more then the car itself lol
I was quoted 6k without a parts car(which will also be needed) but that's with a brand new manual trans
@@kainfowler3686 nearly not worth it at that point
paid 1400 for parts and 1200 for labor
@@gabrielpimentel2857hey can you tell me all the parts needed for the swap??
This helped so much
Dude you're awesome
Thatsa pretty sweet swap and didn't look too hard. Will you be selling any parts from your coup parts car?
Wow 👏 plz do this to my G
My 1st G was a 05 G35 coupe manual back in 09 put like 15k$ into the car did almost everything except turbo. stillen exhaust test pipes injen intake cold air 19 in wheels with 285s tires in the rear coilovers light weight pulleys intake manifold performance chip also tuned it headlights lip spoilers grill swap stage 3 racing clutch changed master cyclinder and lightweight flywheel camberkit racing ignition coils and plugs slotted rotors etc...
My 2nd 2011 auto was a G37 coupe IPL in 2018
My 3rd was in 2021 another 05 G35 coupe auto
And now in 2023 an 04 auto G35 coupe. Its pretty hard to find a decent condition manual in Miami fl
Deep love for these vq coupes
Black for sure 😊
great video bro. for the cosmetics maybe throw the wheels from the coupe onto the sedan
The next video drops in a couple hours 👀🤝
Lol the cat wanted the smoke when the kid was waving the pressure washer 😂
Bro you have one intelligent mind!!!!🎉🥳⭐️🤩🤩🤩🤩
u make make manual swapping look easy lol
When you said you had to put the rest of the exhaust on, what was missing?? I want mine to backfire like that 😭
How did you specifically do the wiring. I’ve already got the trans for my g and plan on doing this but I’m so confused looking at how you did the wiring to get it to turn over. And also you wiring it didn’t cause any other electrical problems did it?
I swapped mine in June, took a week and a half and was so worth it. Nice work!
Does it perform the same as how a normal manual G would? Like any cons or downsides? I’m thinking about swapping my 04.. mechanic said 1200 for labor and around 1400 for parts I’m trying to see if it’s worth it.
@@HUNCHO._ haven’t drove a factory manual but pretty much. Only difference would be the ecu tune and the differential gearing. I swapped my differential and will tune it this spring. I spent $1700 with a JWT clutch kit and CD009 and did it myself.
@@HUNCHO._ I’d say it’s worth it.
@@NuclearPineappleyo could u tell me everything I would need to get it running ?
@@itzevoid8059 to get it running you just need to jump the neutral safety switch, to get it swapped you’ve got a bit more to do
Nice bro how long did it take ?
Do you possible have a link to where you jumped the fuze to get it to start?
Yo I'm in the middle of doing this swap , can u tell me wat color wire u had to put power to or what pin it is , be much appreciated thanks
Nice video great work, I have a question what did you do with your vin plate that comes with the cars
Vins are untouched on both. The plates on the engine bay I have them in my office on a cork board lol. Don’t need them since the vin is stamped on the firewall but you can always use zip screws and put the plates back on
@@DripMyWhipthe ones that says Nissan Japan under the hood are snapped in with clips I have one on my truck
Wow. You know a sedan, some have all wheel drive. With a manual swap would feel nice.
I haven’t looked into it but I would imagine there isn’t a way to have a manual awd version, but if you have an awd model and want to convert it to a manual rwd model that’s definitely a possibility
@@DripMyWhip If you search on CZcams a company created a yellow G35 coupe AWD. But also another youtuber turned a G35X into a manual drive too.
I think I found my next mechanic 🤝
If enough people subscribe I could probably be the engine swap shop 🤣
Have a 250gt and want to manual swap... What's all I need and advice?
What about the wiring harness did u have to change any els beside the park sensor
Did you do anything for the handbrake at all?
How were you able to find the 12v park on the car ? As in pin wis
Is that the automatic wire harness or a manual harness
Do you have to reflash tcm or anything or just plug n play?
Hey Man quick question did you use the same drift shaft or did u have to get the shorter one from the coupe
The coupe and sedan have the same length drive shaft but one thing to note is the manual driveshaft is different from the auto
Where did u purchase your motor and tranny? And for the swap do u need to switch ecu and harness?
great video. doeas it pop like that stock with just the exhaust?
Yes it does! No tune just dcsport headers and catless downpipes with an Invidia exhaust
How much did all this roughly cost you (obviously labor was free but with parts and stuff “
20:09 had me dead i thought that mosquito was in my room
Yo bro I got a g35 Manuel it’s making a click noise and looses power u know what could cause tht/fix it
Would this be the same process for the coupe? Instead of a sedan I want to manual swap my coupe.
Yes it’s the exact same the coupe and sedan are the same car surprisingly
Where did you put the e brake
so did you run the auto ecu & auto harness still or full coversion harness ecu etc
Stock harness and computer 🤝 but note I had to jump a wire permanently in the fuse box behind the battery to get the car to start
I have an 03 coupe auto and I want to make it manual and I have no idea on how to do it myself so i would have to take it to the shop, how much would that cost me?
I have no idea since I do all my work myself. But judged from cost of parts alone and a couple days labor I would imagine there to definitely be a comma in the price tag
You got to take the ebrake braket out
can i get some advice im thinking about swapping my auto to stick shift what yall think??
Did you do it?
did you have to buy a manual sedan driveshaft? or can you use the 5at shaft?
Did you figure this out?
Those twist wire connectors on an automotive application. ☠️ Also that clutch pedal mounting situation was horrid yikes
As you heard me in the video the wire was for testing to make sure it was the right one. And the clutch pedal has already been sealed and welded to the frame so no worries 🫡
I did a manual swap on my g35 a few months ago, did you keep your auto ecu? Because i did, and i have a check engine light because of it. How would I remove this?
Not sure I think a tuner can flash the codes away. I don’t have cats so I haven’t tried to do anything about the light on
I believe it needs a tune of some sort. Mine is a manual swap and I had the CEL on as well but I had mine flashed/tuned to remove the CEL
Custom DMW shop?🤣🤣
If enough people subscribe that might be possible! 😩
Frost ice white 😅
This may be a wierd question but did you use the manual harness ?
Did u use the manual harness
Did you use the manual harness
So I did this with my 05 sedan and now it’s consistently overheating i’ve done everything and I’ve got no clue why
These cars are difficult to bleed the cooling system I would suggest getting a bleeder funnel from harbor freight and jacking the front up just a little to raise the radiator over the heater core
The reverse light 💡
How did you get your check engine light off
There’s not way for me since the cats have been cut out
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
Wire nuts not recommended sir
How was it popping Stock ? I have no mufflers or resonators and it still don’t pop like that . Could be because I have a automatic. ??
Correct there isn’t a tune on the motor. I have DCSport even flow headers and catless downpipes linked to an Invidia true dual exhaust with an x pipe and muffler delete
@@DripMyWhip you think I could make a hr 08 g35 pop ? What’s the best way because I don’t know anybody with a g that pops without the tune except for the older models with the key trick . But 08 have a push start .
@@thewingedangel5520 bruh if it’s not popping you have a restriction no cats normally does it in most vqs
@@Agilepickleunite nahh bro I had to get it tuned .
Correction, it can start in neutral
How did you get it to park In neutral?
Let me get ur old engine man
I heard the sadan are lighter than the cupes
There faster too
Can I keep my auto sedans motor but only swap the tranny
Yes just make sure to install a manual trans pilot bearing to your crank!
No hate or nothing why didnt u just buy a manual g in the first place with the amount of money u spent on the auto g and manual g
It’s definitely not cost effective purchasing two cars to make one but for me it worked out since I already had the shell due to a previous series and all the parts needed for the swap were already in my garage.
@@DripMyWhipmakes sense but luv the work
Why did you need a manual engine don't you just need a transmission?
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 🤝

I have a 05 Altima se 3.5 5 speed was thinking bout doing rwd conversion what’s your thoughts?
Buy a different car, the frame is not built for a rwd drivetrain
You can do anything if you have enough money tho lol
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
Lol 😂😢
Y u sound like that
hey bro u have IG ? i have questions about ur manual swap 🙏
