Well, not like a manual but...
Get a low mileage M/T, Shifter, M/T clutch and brake pedals and mount(s) (can't remember if M/T mount does both pedals), and clutch booster and vacuum can. Also need clutch and M/T flywheel, is a good time to get new linkage and pivot ball and fork- upgraded if you are modifying the engine.
Slave, rear engine seal (HIGHLY recommended) and lines- Z1 has a good kit. I believe they may have a swap kit as well, check them out as well as CZP. You will need misc plugs and such as you undo the A/T, and a few oddball bits as you install the M/T...AFTER installing all the lines and such for the slave cylinder and clutch booster reservoir and vacuum can.
Check twinturbo.net and RoboZ for any swap how-to's, I had mine done by a pro so it would all work perfectly and it did...sorry I can't help there.

You will also need;
Shifter mount and all associated dust covers
--Good option-https://conceptzperformance.com/z-speed ... p_7990.php
--OEM-https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan- ... p_1877.php
DRiveshaft
MT alternator harness with bypass
MT bolts
Pilot bearing
Flywheel bolts
Might need to replace;
Reverse light switch
Neutral switch
(Once trans is in, these are a PITA to replace or near impossible)
Get a NA clutch master and slave, you will not need a vacuum canister and a much simpler system. Yes it will be harder to press in if you get a TT clutch, but not by too much. I didn't notice a difference
The brake pedal is seperate, but you can always cut the auto pedal down or deal with it, which I did.
Get a one piece clutch line.
There is wiring you will have to do in order for the starter relay to work. I honestly could not figure this out, so I made my own starter relay and bypassed the oem starter relay completely. Never had an issue. Also some wiring by the ignition, so you can take the key out.
Like stated by Decaff, look on robo's site, its pretty well documented. Cost is roughly 1000-1500 depending how cheap for expensive you get the trans for. Do all the maintenance you can with the trans out.
