Apparently the 2000+ I30's did come in a 5 speed...

Looks like the Saudi market "Maxima" had MT as an option...wonder about Cefiros in other countries?

cloth seats too...it would be pretty sweet if someone did a 6 speed swap into their I35

[chant] Swap, Swap, Swap....[/chant]

I've thought long and hard about doing that swap. I know I'd wait till after my warranty period is up...but I can't help keep from thinking that I really don't want to pour that much time and $ into it when I'd rather get a RWD or AWD vehicle. Don't get me wrong...I love my car, but I want something more fun to drive. Alas, that'll have to wait until I'm out of college though..

Very understandable. I have the same thoughts, just don't know If I want to take my car to the next level, (ie built engne or turbo or SC) or just wait till I get something else. I will probably just wait till I get my G35 or S4

Same here...I think for now on I'm just going to stick to smaller things for my I30 like cattback exhaust, udp, etc. In a couple years I'll get that 350z and just keep the I30 as a daily driver.

Have you ever made it out to the track yet???

ahh...no still haven't made it, I've just been too busy out here with school work and everything, hopefully when I go back home to San Diego for winter break I'll be able to make a trip out to the dragstrip here. Hopefully I'll also be able to get a pair of 15" wheels by then too (my 18's are pretty light but I know they're still slowing me down a little).
