Hooking up the VQ30DET with a 5 speed MT and an S13.

Thats what i want to do. Theres an instate guy with a swap for cheap, Venus has a clip for cheap, and the engine is "280"hp stock designed to compete with the 340hp USDM V8. Problem #1, i have to adapt the engine to a 5 speed trans, preferably 300zx or SR/KA. Question #1 does anyone have any info on this? Any detailed sheets with the bolt patterns?

Problem #2, i don't know 100% that this engine will fit width wise in the bay, i've heard that the 300zx TT swap has been done so this should fit.

Problem #3 computer/wiring problems due to not having the usuall 5sp auto transmission or due to the fact that its in a 240sx. these engines are late model, around 1998.

Driveshaft/mounts shouldn't be too hard.

I've not seen this swap done in a 240sx yet, i've heard a guy did it to a 510 tho.

Everything fits with a welder, use a stand-alone, post some pics.

Getting a manual transmission, flywheel and clutch that would fit is my biggest problem. I can't find info anywhere and i think the RWD VQ is quite different than the VG. I think i'd have to score a 350z transmission or something.
