Hey everyone, 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/
This is by far one of the best videos about this there is on the internet, I own a white 2010 G37s 6mt that was totaled and recently bought a blown up 09 7at and wanted to do the swap but had no clue about the bcm and ecm situation, glad to find out it is just some simple wiring.
I'm glad you found my video, I'm sorry to hear about the G37. Check out my Facebook Group on manual swapping. I have some videos you might find useful. Unfortunately, we got hit with a hurricane, but I do want to upload some more stuff to help you guys out very soon.
@@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
@@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.
Did you found how to fix battery drain? I just didn't wire the clutch pedal , my be it will help , need too try it later. This is only problem i have after the manual swap . Other things are perfect using it as Daily car Year and half perfectly. I used oem slave ,clutch and act street flywheel. Did it with all automatic stuff , its way simpler, yes i have the " press brake " on the dash . Thanks for a lot of information to work with .
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!

Can I buy a 2011 370z engine from a manual transmission car and use it as a replacement for my auto 2008 g37 sport or would it need modifications aware of pilot bushing any info is appreciated
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.
@@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.

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?
Someone just posted this in the Facebook group (www.myg37.com/forums/d-i-y-installations-modifications/303336-a-comprehensive-guide-to-6mt-swapping-a-g37.html#&gid=1&pid=120)
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.

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 ruclips.net/video/UluNnyZG6pA/видео.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
