i have also swapped in a 6 speed USDM '05....
if you end up getting a new 6 speed with no stubs in the tranny all you have to do is pull them out of your 5 speed and plug them into the 6 speed... bayley how come you never come to any SEMI meets man i would love to be able to talk to another 6 speed swapper........ update us on that dccd business....i have all the stock pieces but no motivation to hook them up....... andrew |

Did you do this all by yourself? Was the 6-speed installed with a floor jack with a tranny adapter? I am considering doing this but I don't want to get crushed!

You really need two people to (safely) get the trans up into place. I've done the old 5 speed before solo, but the significantly heavier 6 speed really needs two pair of hands. Also, I threw this little beauty together to help keep the transmission from rolling side to side. |

Thanks! I've got one of these:
But I might get one of these if I do the swap: I am usually working by myself but I could get more "social" and ask for help if I do ever get a 6-speed. Part of me is holding out for an entire STi engine and drive train swap, but that may be a pipe dream! O |

so how does the r160 hold up with the 6 spd?
i was thinking of doing a 6 spd swap but my totals for 6spspd, linkage, r180, driveshaft, labor were escalating to $6k+ |

However, I do realize that the R160 and the OEM driveshaft are the next weakest link. *When I break the R160, I'm going to seriously look into an R200 rather than an R180. *It's not a matter of it, but when. |

1975 - 1978 Datsun 280Z's (most)
1979 - 1983 Datsun / Nissan 280ZX's (some) 1984 - 1989 300ZX'z (all) 1990 - 1996 300ZX's (non-turbo) Check the gear Ratio's: Here I've got about a couple 3.9 ratio R200's sitting in the shed somewhere out back from my Z car projects. Yes, it will require some serious custom fabrication on my part, but the cost will be a lot less than a (weaker) R180. The only downside to R200's is that limited slip modules are far and few between. Typical cost to upgrade a R200 to LSD is about $750. |

The guys down in puerto rico got up to 720 ft*lbs at the wheels on a stock USDM STi drivetrain and never had a problem with the r180. And only a handful off people will ever get to that level. |

I think some people are absolute ham-fists and can blow up anything. Granted the 5spd is weak, but I haven't had problems wiht mine yet and people swear 280 awhp will blow the snot outta it.

I can't tell you how many times I've pulled OEM radios out of cars (sound system install... old side hobby), sell them on Ebay for super cheap, only to see the same butt head who bought it try and sell the exact same radio for a 100% markup the following week. Thanks again... although, if you would have sent it to me for free, I would have been under the magic $3000 mark! ...OK, so I still would have to shave $3 off somewhere else as well. |
