You mean VQ30DET. Never seen a manual swap done in that chassis, but I know you can fit a Z33 6spd transmission to that motor.

Edit: Nevermind. VQ30DET started in 95... :facepalm:

Any vg30 transmission will work. Turbo and N/A variants are mechanically the same. The N/A version uses a lighter flywheel though. Shouldn't matter because you'll need a new clutch anyway.
