How To Manual Swap a g37 

Yeah, the hardest part of the project was filming it lol. The rest wasn't bad at all.

@@Prolbuilds only issue I had was engagement, all that was needed was a bracket bolted onto where the foot brake was into the pedal that way it doesn’t flex the wall. Quick Heads up

Thanks

But if I work my way, I won't be able to use cruise control

You can do it! When you're all done send me a link of the video.

It will work just as fine

​@@ProlbuildsI'm done with my work Now I think I need to fix my wiring I want to see the wiring diagram in the posted video, can I get a link?

Glad it was helpful!

@@Prolbuildsi have a question I started my swap and about to start rewiring. I’m using the automatic wiring harness but swapping the bcm would I have to repin a wire to 114 or do I have to splice into pin 140?

If you're using a manual BCM you would do pin 114, just a friendly heads-up I'm sure you're aware of, if you swap the BCM you will need to program the key.

@@Prolbuildsthank you! And yes I’m aware I appreciate it

Sorry bud, I'm not sure. I would like to think you would take the same steps. "IF ANNYONE READING THIS KNOWS THE AWSER PLEASE HELP HIM OUT THANK YOU"

I have started a Facebook group for the G37 community that's working on their manual swap or already has done it. Sometimes I miss comments and don't see them until later. I'm hoping with this group we can share ideas and come up with solutions together. Help spread the word! Thanks! facebook.com/groups/477015521884614/

YES, I wanted to do exactly what you're talking about. I was looking for a wrecked g37 to just swap everything over.

Hell yeah! I'm happy my video helped motivate you. Take the swap one step at a time and before you know it you will be clutch kicking into the corners lol. If you get stuck with something hit me up. GOOD LUCK!

Awesome! Good feedback, thanks for commenting. Yeah, try out the switch, maybe it has something to do with it. I don't have a draw. My battery seems to be fine. You probably already know how to test for this, but here are some tips just in case you want to try them. To check for a battery draw, also known as a parasitic draw, you can use a multimeter set to milliamps: 1-Prepare the vehicle: Make sure the battery is fully charged and turn off the vehicle. 2-Set up the multimeter: Turn the dial to DC amps on the highest setting. 3-Disconnect the battery cable: Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery. 4-Connect the multimeter leads: Connect the positive lead to the negative battery cable and the negative lead to the negative battery post. 5-Monitor the current draw: If there is a draw, it will show on the multimeter. A normal parasitic draw is usually between 50 and 85 milliamps in newer cars and less than 50 milliamps for older cars. If the current draw is higher than this, it could be a problem and should be checked. 6-Find the source of the draw: You can try pulling fuses one by one until the amperage draw drops. This can help you identify the circuit responsible for the draw. However, on newer vehicles, pulling and reinstalling a fuse could accidentally "wake up" a module. Thanks again!

I did install the 3rd bolt. I believe you came across the video where I show it, because you commented on it. Hopefully you have everything you need.

Yes, you should be able to do this. I used a 2013 370z engine in the 2009 g37. The only problem I ran into was the coolant reservoir was different. Everything else was the same. I hope this helps.

SWFL

You would need about the same type of parts. But the wiring would be different. Manual swapping a q50 would be a cool project, do you have the 3.0 or 3.7?

@@ProlbuildsThe transmission from the 2008 g35 sedan/ Nissan 350z and g37/ 370z are the exact same. They both use the jk41b instead of the cd009 like DE 350z and g35. I know 3 people personally who have done a vq35hr swap in their g35/ 350z and all of them told me that the 07-08 350z/ g35 sedan 6 speed is the exact same thing as the g37 and 370z. The transmission itself is a slight bit bigger and uses a completely different bolt pattern than the cd009. Yes they’re almost the same in terms of gear location and things of that nature, but the hr g35/ 350z uses the jk41b as the 370z/ g37.

Thanks for catching that, I forgot the later years came with the HR motor.

@@tyleeware7203 thank u

That's a good question. Idk let me do a little research, and I'll get back to you. If someone reads this and knows the answer, help them out. Thanks

It Does work for the sedan but you will need the manual sedan drive shaft from a g35 or g37

That's a good question, I believe you would need to do about the same amount of wiring. But I haven't manual swapped a G35, so I'm not 100% sure. Let me do some research and I'll get back with you.

@@Prolbuilds great thanks

@@olavixxik this is a month later and you probably already figured it out but it is the exact same as he explained it for a 07 to 08 sedan with the hr. Just converted my awd sedan to manual

For the clutch pedal?

@@Prolbuilds and clutch master cylinder. Read in couple of swaps that people are welding reinforcements, because of the flex

yeah, I fixed this problem by adding a bolt in the top of the pedal. We own a 370z manual and I copied what the factory did. This seems to have fixed the flex. 2:44 into this video I talk about it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UluNnyZG6pA.htmlsi=_dtxHJdQyqHya2w4

@@Prolbuilds great, if you don't have any flex, then my RJM clutch pedal with Tilton clutch master should not have any, since its mounted from the inside and pushes against the sidewall with adapter plate its mounted to rather then pulling sidewall with two bolts from the outside like oem does, right? Also got the manual engine harness, but not planning on taking out the motor, is it doable to swap it in the engine bay? The way I see it, it will be much easier just to use tcm connector and swap pin 140 to 114 on my manual bcm.

The RJM pedal is a nice setup! It's on our bucket list for the G35. You shouldn't have any problems. I would say it's easier leaving the engine and just swapping the trans. I would have done it this way if the engine wasn't blown, lol. Along the back of the fire wall, it's a tight fit, but doable. What clutch setup are you going to use? By the selection of parts, you have listed sounds like a pretty cool build!

If you use the auto ecu and bcm. The pin would be 140, even if you change the harness. The automatic ecu and bcm are still programed to see a signal from pin 140 so the car can start. If you swap out the ecu and bcm (manual) use pin 114. because the ecu and bcm are looking for the signal from that pin to start the car. I hope this helps
