Alright guys, I know there has been a few other forums about this, however I am working with a tight budget (2k). Is there anyway of taking my 2003 350z transmission and having a transmission shop build it so that it will take the abuse? Another route is used transmission (cd009) but its a used transmission, it will potentially have the same issues, or will soon have issues down the road. I went to z1 motorsports, and its $2100 for a brand new transmission. I really cannot afford that. It would be nice to, as its plug and play. My plans for the car are to keep it as a street/track car. It is not a daily and never will be. I just am looking for some words of the wise, thankyou!

For Z1, it is about $2100 shipped to my door.

Are you doing the work yourself or planning on paying someone to do it for you?

No problem, a trans swap is not too bad anyway.
As a mechanic I do most of my stuff but there are just some things I am not a fan of doing. As for the clutch I don't have much input as I am still on the stock one, was contemplating the Z1 clutch myself or JWT.
Most on here highly recommend the JWT though.

Reason I am asking is because I have the 03, with 72k miles. The clutch feels just fine, so I was just wondering.

Don't forget all the seals/gaskets, fluid, grease, etc that'll also cost extra. Easy to buy a major part until you realize you don't have everything needed to actually put it all together

right on man, I called up ConceptZ and they said it would be essentially a bolt on part. It is shipped with fluid but that has to changed out. I’m gonna go with OEM stuff I believe, been reading up on it. I appreciate the input man!
