Similar, yes.

Will it be able to control the motor? No.

Only thing that's close is the 350z HR ECU, but theres the dual TB thing to deal with.

You would have a LOT more than a permanent CEL in a A35 if you didn't have the CVT tranny.

manual stopped in 07 or 08 i think.... since the 6th gens.... i really would like to see the sales of the maxima over the years... winning awards n bragging about these random stupid awards doesnt make the car an more fun... sadly the current maximas are as boring as they come, kudos to the few trying to save them

there has been a recent resurgence of MT in new cars- I read that 6% of all cars bought were MT.

To put that in perspective I think 2-3% of all 5gens purchase were MT(that is the number I read once).

That's an odd question to me, that you wouldn't know that.

There are dozens of threads that talk this issue to death and back again over in the 7th gen forum. And while everyone's opinion is personally valid, the only one that matters is Nissan Sales & Marketing, which decided putting a MT in the Maxima was no longer directly profitable, or even indirectly valuable.

There were plans in '07 and '08 for a next-Gen Maxima that had a 6MT matched to a diesel engine. But then gas prices in 2008, and the recession, and the near crash of the US Auto market... those plans were scrapped.

Too bad, too. A high-torque diesel would have been interesting.
