VE 5spd conversion

What exactly would I need from a 5spd VE donor car to do a swap? Transmission, pedals...ECU?

Trnasmission, mounts, cables, shifter, pedals, assorted switches.
Don't need the ECU unless you are planning on swapping the intake too.

ok, I somewhat vaguely recall Jeff92se stating that the manual transmission for the VG and VE are the same. Can anyone verify this? Because I found a 5-spd VG with all the necessary parts in a junkyard.

btw, there was a Z31 turbo with the engine still pretty much intact in the same junkyard.

no, a VG 5spd will not have a limited slip, and has smaller axles. Jeff probably said they were similiar, but not the same.

Keep it all VE

Parts cars are also really helpful
