NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Definatly crushing my dreams right now....

I will say yes, it is possible. All you need is the transmission plus $20k for parts and labor.

just trade ur altima for a z, duh.

lol, this all sounds a bit backward. I'd rather have a 350z 6speed trans put into my 3.5, oh and an HR motor to top it off.

Dave, it all depends how much money you got. Yes, it can be done but there will be a lot of cutting and welding involved. First, your car is FWD and the transmission from the Z is on a RWD configuration. In order to do this, you will literally need to strip the car down and cut and weld in a channel for the drive shaft. My friend who owns the 2004 black "Cadence" Altima is actually doing this to his car. He has a VK56DE motor with a G37 transmission and a 350 rear. He also did a wire tuck so you can't see any of the wires. He's still working on it but I can't wait to see it when he's done. If you're going to go this route, buy a VQ35HR motor with transmission and ecu and the 350 rear and have the work done. I can tell you it's not going to cheap but you'll be the first AltimaCoupe that's rear wheel drive!

Is it necessary to convert it to RWD? Is the 350Z auto transmission physically longer then the CVT? I'm with DReed; it would be interesting to know if it is possible, and me personally I'd rather have my balls removed then to have to deal with a manual trans on a daily bases. But, unfortunately at this point CVT as to be swapped with something if you're going to heavily mod.

hahahaha yeah well I was shopping around seeing if TT 350Z are made in auto or just manual and if I could swap the trans to 350z but still have front wheel drive???

but like you said D Im sure it possible with lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

this was always going to be a down the road project but looks like Ill have to throw this in the imposibily folder

first TT AC failed before it started.....

thanks for the info guys.... even though its not what I wanted to here..

As with most modifications of this nature, it is worth it if you are sponsored

Doubt that a company would fully sponsor a project like this unless it was a SEMA build or have the right marketing contacts. At best, the average "joe" would likely get a sponsored pricing meaning partial sponsor. ie..you buy the parts and the company installs and gets the publicity..

Quite unlikely as makes sense to ... well, buy the damn Z to get the end result
