Hi all, need help. I know I'm an idiot but I purchased (paid cash) for an new 05' tour AT Z figuring it be an everyday LA traffic car but soon after wheels and cold air intake I got the modifacation bug and end up with supercharger and about $20,000 in mods and am currently getting a AT/MT swap(including upgrades of excedy clutch,Jun flywheel,nismo 1.5 LSD,carbon driveshaft,3.9 FD). My question is does anyone know if I need a 6sp ECU? or will my old ecu work? does anyone see any other problems?

 

how much would a swap like this cost and is it damaging at all?

 

Yes, you need a 6spd ecu and be sure it's for a non-revup engine.

 

local hot-rod shop charging me $3700 not including parts.

 

thanks dklau33, does that mean one that has not been reflashed?

 

hi, i was wondering if your still considering swap from AT to MT, because im looking of swapping MT to AT. pm please

 

You driving the black fairlady Z in the SCV?...

 

dont swap the auto tranny if u want high hp, everyone knows that a lot of people go the other way!

 

You driving the black fairlady Z in the SCV?...


yes, have we met?

 

I got quoted $4k just for parts. is this about right?

 

are you doing a AT to MT?

 

yeah, thinking about it.. might just get a new car, instead, though..

 

yeah, If I had to do it again the Porsche Cayman looks really good. I spent enough money on this car to buy the cayman..if you decide to do it I can provide you a list and make sure the shop is reputable.

 

you have pm.

 

Your car was in the Ruther center transmission shop getting converted this weekend right?...

Motordyne is moving into the facility across from the transmission shop. I was there this weekend overseeing the construction of the new offices and I couldn't help but notice your hot looking Z being modified.

I asked the mechanic what he was doing and he described your AT --> MT conversion. Not many people do this conversion. Let alone in a black fairlady Z with wheels and a supercharger.

 

thanks man, how did she look?sob..sob.. she been away for the past 2 months getting the conversion. it's in the tranny shop because there was something binding in the lsd(the bad way) after the swap it went directly to abe transmission because I noticed a bad popping sound from tranny/rear end.

 

Looked good except for the missing pumpkin.

 

If I had to do it all over again, the EVO looks pretty good, but no way in hell I'd shell out for a tranny conversion... way too much $$$

Good thing I knew I wanted 6MT right off the bat

 

love the evo but z's are definitely my favorite.
