Cali spec transmission swap!

Cali spec transmission swap!
So I've seen a few different threads about auto to 5speed swap and all of them are 95, 96 and 97 I havent seen anything on a 99 cali spec, my question is right now am down to the clutch line and a slave cylinder I pretty much have everything else, is the swap pretty straight forward just like in a non cali spec? Orshould IIget a 99 cali spec 5speed ECU? Thanx for any input and like I said I've searched and read as much as I could find...

You can either get a 5 speed 99 Cali spec ecu, or non Cali spec ecu. If you get non Cali spec, congrats, you have weight reduction opportunities.
However, if you keep the auto ecu, you will throw codes for the A/T. (Cause its obviously not there lol)
And to answer your first question, yes, straight forward. Lol assuming you're following the how-to.

Haha yea am following the how to, thanx for the replay man, do u know if i get the 99 cali 5speed ecu do I need to reprogram it?

Im sorry but i don't noticed the lack of power of a cali spec car my i30 is quick for what it is. My friend hadtwo maxima auto. And each time i would always come out on top. If he swaps out the .cu wouldn't it have different pin locations for the o2 sensor cause the rear cat isn't monitored on a cali spec but the fed spec it is.

it's not that the rear cat isn't monitored on the cali, it's that both precats ARE monitored on the cali. This means you Cali folks can't delete the precats and free up all the power without having to deal with your O2 sensors.
FED spec Y is plug and play, Cali spec needs a bit of tweaking, and O2 sims or antifoulers to fool the rear sensors...
But back on topic with the original question, if you keep all your Cali spec emissions, then yes you need a Cali spec 99 ECU to avoid the CEL. Other than that's it's straight forward as already mentioned...provided you're doing it right
BUT!!!! Since you have a 99, you'll need to get the NATS system reprogrammed if you swap ECUs. Otherwise you won't be able to start or drive the car with the immobilizer.

Can anyone from cali with a 95 swap attest to this??
