well when you have experience in this kind of work i don't think im gonna have a problem. my friend works at a nissan dealer and says he can reflash a 6-speed ecu for me at no charge i already thought of the immobilize on our cars.

Can you take pics and keep us updated. I've seen so many post about people going to do it, but never any completed posts

i knew i was going to get comments about the swap, but thats not why i posted this. what i need is help maybe even pics of how the hydraulic lines route. and you gus with 6-speeds what kind of aftermarket cluches have you experienced and liked oo disliked? what about lightened flywheels? what i really need is to get a complete parts list of what i need.

This swap is costly, i wanted to go that route then decided to sell my car and buy one with a 6MT

once again thanks for the info. but thats not the info im looking for. i don't care what it costs or if its easier to buy a six-speed. for me i would much raqther do this to my car, because i already have her paid off and do not want to get rid of her. plus its noththat easy to find a 02-03 black 6-speed with lsd for less than 12k with less than 100k miles. ive already done a parts total and it looks like im in for 2.5k at the cheapest with a performance clutch and fly combo. like i said labor is free so thats where i save, maybe that is wherei its expensive for you guys.

Here's something to check. Several people have had problems with the aluminum flywheels eating starters. I would check the flywheel against a factory one to make sure the starter ring is in the same position as the factory one and the gear teeth have the same tooth pitch.

Bye the way what did you get for a price for the 6sp with HLSD? I've been trying to figure out if it would be cheaper to swap diffs or buy a knew trans w/LSD outright and sell mine trans and open diff to recoup cost.

it cost me 450 for the tranny and it only has 10k miles, im not sure how easy it is to find one so i jumped on this one butit took me 1 month to find it. its off an 03 with lsd. and yes the starter is different and autos and manuals i don't know why? but oh well something else on my account at work to add
