A 300zx 5 speed would work with an adapter plate i think mazworx have a kit or something but if you really want a 6 speed then you probably will need to have a custom made adapter

It's definitely possible with a properly made adapter and using the 350Z clutch and flywheel.

It is possible and has been done before IIRC. What's listed above is what you would need. The reason people use the Z32 trans is because they're stronger (although they do suffer from weak synchros in 2nd and 4th) and they have taller ratios then the 350Z/G35 6 speed. Most of the cars these motors are swapped into have short final drive ratios (4.08), so the extra gear is basically worthless. If I were you, I'd look into a stronger tranny like a T-56. That would be sweet with a VH.

Do you possibly have a name or link to who did it on the VH? Would like to see that one.

I actually think I saw it right here a few months back. Wasn't much of an actual adapter plate though, the guy basically set up 3 separate pieces of aluminum with different bolt holes to mate the two. Wasn't pretty, but it did work (although I personally don't feel its strong enough without being a solid piece).EDIT: Here http://forums.nicoclub.com/zer...crude Like I said, it's crude, but he was able to support the full weight of the transmission with it. He said he made it that way because it was cheaper and he doesn't have a machine shop, but I'm sure someone like elwesso would be able to get a better one made.

Aha, I remember that post, but did not realize it was using a Z33 trans.

Hahahaha true. I'd still be interested in seeing if it worked in day to day driving though. If I had a taller rear end, I'd definitely want one for my car.

i remember a better one where they used the vh stock auto bellhousing and a t56 with a hydraulic throw out unit that was mounted on the snout of the input shaft front housing! this was a sick conversion! can't remember for the life of me who it was though!

Gotta find that one. The T-56 is a wonderful transmission. Much better ratios/synchros than the Z32 transmission.

Yeah that was me and I don't recommend that route. I've decided to weld the bell-housing on since when placing the engine and trans in the car I noticed a gap between the two signaling that the two shifted that's why I pretty much let that post die.

It came out in either a 97 or 98 vette. Think 97 as they went to a comletely different setup from memory..was a while bacvk when I bought it. So yeah just std GM model. The front of the box is off in one of those pics, as I used the input shaft bearing race to centre to the dummy shaft.
