cant find any real info but whats involved in swapin a 135 to 6speed, tryin to figure out if i want another 5.5gen max or a i35, got 1 6sp max thats wrecked for parts and 1 5th gen with the front end wacked off for more parts

 

If you have a complete 6MT maxima - False you can go to the junkyard and pirate the few small things.

I would start by swapping over the complete wiring harnesses, front chassis and engine for starters, saves yourself A LOT of wiring nightmares - This is completely wrong I do not know what I was thinking back in 2012, use your stock wiring.

Then ECU, NATs, cylinder, key - This isn't necessary but nice to have... These days you can just get the ECU only and reprogram it yourself with NDSII

But chessss a 6MT I35 would be awesome - It is, I've owned them, it is the pinnace of A33 awesomeness.

With the exception of the emergency brake, I imagine it is the same as swapping a 6 speed to a 5.5 Maxima. Essential1 has done the swap to his I30.

 

Its already a 3.5... why ould he want to swap over wiring from a maxima 3.5 to an infiniti 3.5???

 

The 6MT swap in a I35 is the same as it is in the maxima, te biggest headache is getting the MT transmission mount in place of the auto.... there is info out there... it not quite the same as a 5MT swap in tht aspect so idk if essential's swap would be that much helpful buti guess a good starting foundation

 

yeah thanks for some of the info guys, now its time to find a good i35 hit in the rear............just a quick question....how do ya guys think a i35 would look with a maxima rear end(quarterpanel, and trunk and bumpers) would look, if someone could photoshop that for me it would be very helpfull......cause i know of a i35 with a bad motor, and tons that are hit in the back

 

Not good........ just keep the infiniti look...... waaaay more of a bragging right

 

Easy.

The pressure switch for the AC condensor is different.

And basically anything that affects the idle is different, it's not as simple as you think.

 

This.

 

(Not being sarcastic or funny...) how would that affect the swap?....

 

Well when you engage WOT, the compressor is suppose to kill off, now with the swap you won't have the same sensor, so the compressor stays on adding parasitic drag to your car, and then IIRC the car does not like that so it will enter safe mode aka limp mode, seen it happen with my own eyes, it was quite hilarious

Also other problems arose too whenever he hit WOT, it would ALWAYS enter limp mode, but for a different reason every time.

 

well now i need to find a i35 with a blowned up motor and just swap mine since it only has 50k on it now

 

or do ya think that there would be involved in swappin this into a i30

 

The engine harness between the auto and manual vq35 is different. And there is more to it then just the reverse switch and the park neutral switch connectors.

 

I have my 4 speed i35 fastes i35 in houston tx and i dint need a 6mt i smoke 6 speed maxas like nothing just saying

 

Mind telling us what upgrades have you done to the car to make it the fastest in Houston?

 

Because Racecar...

 

He's the only one that's actually modded

Come to Maxus and see him on the track, his car ain't no slouch!!!

 

people like to row their own and rev match. plus imo i really dislike the sound an auto makes between shifts, especially with exhaust... that lame 'slide' into next gear.

only auto i'd take is a dsg or something similar, shifts are maad quick like a rally car and it rev matches for you even in non sport modes... but i'd still enjoy shifting myself. just sayin lol

a 6spd i35 would be awesome... very rare like the 1st gen manual i30's
