6 speed swap in an I 35
has anyone done this yet considering that an i35 is basically the same design as an a33..i have a chance to get an I35 incredibly cheap and im wondering how much it will cost to have someone else do it( because i want it to run correctly lol) how much am i looking at u think?....

It has been done on a Maxima, but not an I35. If you're honestly thinking about this, I would first donate to this site so you could perform REAL searches, because you'll need it if you're going to dive into this endeavor.
This is where the difference would be

Just my $0,02!

Right. You could keep the I35 gauge cluster, which would still work, but you would have to learn to live with the smaller tach.
When you think about it, its not really all that different from the 4th gen and 00-01 swap... except the shifter uses cables instead of rods...

My car is almost paid for, and when it is, I will decide if I should swap the tranny or get a new car.
BTW i saw a Audi A6 M/T using the shift indicators(without the letters)... for a parking sensor

If i were you, i would keep the I35 and would make the 6spd swap. Honestly, that was my dream car

I swapped to a 5 spd. and my car runs perfect? If you know your car well enough and your skills and motivation you won't have a problem. Just read up, study, learn as much as you can. It'll help you in the long run.
