Default Need help on my Z making auto feel like a manual

So I have an automatic 03 350Z and im looking to trade for a 6 speed. I was wondering if there was some mods I could do to make it like if it was a manual.

Replace your automatic transmission with a manual transmission.

Buy a leather shift boot for and kick your car into neutral at stop lights so you roll back and look like you're driving a manual.

Go like this...

remmmmmmem...rememmmmmm...rememmmmm

and make out you are shifting. No one outside the car will know you are driving an automatic.

You should post this in the FI section. They'd probably give the best advice..

Why the change of mind? Just buy one of those flashy ***
works bell auto shifter kits (the newer of the two) so you
can use your oem steering wheel and dirve it like a monster.
It'll feel just like your playing xbox, and that'll be that.

all that matters is how cool you look anywayzzzz

I dont know why people post threads like this. If you want it to be like a manual, buy a manual or use the manual shift mode.
