No such thing.

Auto ECU should work, at least I know my auto ECU in my vert works fine with the manual trans (with some minor wiring /sensor changes).

So if a person were to go for a 5sp project, would a 300zx work?

a Z transmission will not bolt up to the VH45

If you wanted to put anything into the Q, use a T56.. Much better gearing..

what am i missing here?dude,everyone knows that the 300zx manual transmission will bolt to the vh45de with an axe power adapter plate.most of you who discuss this are well aware of it,yet you still have this conversation.everyone also knows that the stock q ecu works fine in a 5 speed application.talk,talk,talk,anthing beats turning a wrench,i guess.-450zxtt

Well, there is also a thread on a T-56 adapter plate a gentleman made for a VH45DE. I bet he would sell one.

The essence of non normal mods to the Q45 is summed up right there!

We've been trying to get a hold of him so we can see where he had his adapter plate made...

If you can try and email him, we need to spam him from all directions!
