Kind of a complicated and expensive mod. Haven't seen it discussed here, but link is to article of someone doing it on a Q60.

Installing a Manual Transmission in the Infiniti Q60 Red Sport – Concept Z Performance Blog

Q50sc swapped a 6MT into his QZilla after it blew up a level10's trans. I think he has a couple vids on youtube about it. IIRC it comes with a ton of electrical nuisances.

 

How did it blow up? Was that from brake boosting, or on the road/track (not drag strip). What HP and Torque does "QZilla" make?

 

as far as i've seen, only 3 are out there.. Concept Z, QZilla and LSQ_50 have 6speed swapped Q50s/Q60s... its a hell of a task BUT not impossible as you can see. money, time and patience.

 

In a G37 or a "Z", a manual transmission would be my preference. I do like my automaticin my Q50. I hope it holds up after I get the new turbos put in and tuned.

It's supposed to be good to >600 hp and >600 torque according to Pat at Level 10. Note: Not all Level 10 upgrades are the same. It depends on what you have them do.

A Level 10 valve body won't do anything to strengthen the transmission. Just change the shifting.

So saying someone "blew up" a Level 10 transmission can be misleading since we don't know what was done.

 

I’m swapping my Q. If you have a 3.7 it’s very straightforward and very minimal wiring needs to be done. The 3.0T is another level of complication. I’m just using a 370Z transmission, 370Z clutch and flywheel, 370Z brake and clutch pedal and custom length braided clutch lines. I ended up ordering the 6MT Q50 diesel center console as well to make it a factory fit. Feel free to PM me if you need information.

 

Pics please.

 

I have no interest whatsoever in doing this, but I would definitely follow that thread.

 

I would follow a thread like this too @Q50Tyler

 

A how-to?

I think we had one in the 4th gen Maxima community.

 

Guys I've just started a thread over on the DIY section - still pending admin approval. When it's up feel free to hop on and I will be slowly adding photos and parts lists and eventually a how-to.

Cheers! You can also follow me on IG: q50_hotboi

 

It's up...hotboi.

 

LOL, awesome. I'm sure a few others will be very excited as well. Thank you.

 

Please stick with this thread when adding information. You've posted multiple times in other sub-forums about this conversion and we don't want responses diluted over different threads.

 

hey i’m looking to swap my 3.7 with a 370 trans what exactly am i going to need? do i need to change any ecus ?

 

Not if you just place your order for a 400Z w/manual transmission next month...

 

Bro got my car admin tuned N/A and was pushing flame map in 2nd gear going 60 and now the car won’t go past 2nd gear in ‘D’ or won’t switch to semi-manual whatsoever. You think I blew up my transmission or valve body? Should I go for 6 speed 370z manual swap?

 

13B rotary swap it. You’ll get way better flames, unique idle, and higher redline.
