    Thanks guys! It is a lot of fun to drive. Still have to finish up the shifter. Need to dynamat the area where the shifter comes through. A lot of mechanical noise in the cabin. Also need to mount the shifter boot more secure so heat doesn't get in. Putting it back up on lift this next weekend to do a bolt check and put dynamat in.

    i doubt that much right now lol. id say i freed up about 15lbs on drive shaft and maybe another 15 or so from not having the torque converter. id be happy if it got to 190. next thing in the works is getting a J30 ecu looked at and chipped for tune ability.

    im emailing some people on eBay that are selling the auto and manual trans to see how much they weigh. the auto took 8.3qts of atf and the manual only requires 3 qts of manual trans oil. curious to see how much lighter this setup is.

    i weighed mine at silver dollar with 3/4 tank of gas at 3535 without driver

    ok just got email back from both guys on eBay. auto trans shipping weight is 210lbs and the 300zx manual trans is 140lbs. so guesstimating about a 100lb overall weight drop with the swap.

    well saturday it looks like i will be testing some different ECUs out also. i had issues with the auto trans and swapping ECUs because it would screw up with the torque converter and freak out at different rpm/speed. im only using the auto control unit for speed sensor and reverse switch. so hopefully i can get a manual ECU that will help with my tune. i have stock exhaust still so i might be able to get into the 190 range. 200whp would be cool to achieve.
