DCT behind a VQ35DE?
Strictly a maybe possible future, not even a project at present but a fact gathering exercise.for the track car which is not being currently used because I prefer an auto type transmission.and have an alternative track car. The engine is Haltech managed so a transmission controller would be required but it would basically have to be plug and play. Mechanically is it just a matter of making up an adaptors to bolt the trans to the engine etc? Any input would be great but understand my situation set out in the first sentence so don't expect any progress reports or pics.

Having driven Nissan GT cars with dogring gearboxes, I understand the attraction of a DCT. But I also enjoy employing my rev-matching, heel-toe skills with the standard six-speed as well. Beyond that, moving to a DCT won't make the car that much faster, but would move you up in class here in the states. And considering the costs involved in making a DCT work in a Z, I'd rather spend money getting a track car out to the track!
