It's been done by Jeff at Maximum Tuning on his 4th gen.

BTW, he said it was a real pain in the **** to do.

Check my cardomain, I have done it on a 00 Maxima, its not for the people with weak hearts... U will be using alot of the f words while doing this. FYI I don't see the benefit of having a 6spd on a 3.0L, I wanna see a dyno chart of the 3.0L with a 6spd vs my 5spd Max- I'm guessing 15WHP loss form a 6spd vs 5spd.
4th Gen is ALOT eassier to do a 6spd conversion on, alot of em have no ABS. ABS modulator gets in the way of the shifter mechanisim. U need to drill out the hole for the AT tranny shift selector cable, since the 6spd tranny uses cable actuation, and the cables will NOT fit through the tiny hole in the firewall.
