You guys might want to check again. For VHR an abs module gets in the way, unless there is a solution to get around it.

I wasnt aware of the possible problem with the ABS module since I havent heard of anyone going with an aftermarket master cylinder.

anyway Im ditching the ABS out, so that wont be a big issue !

well since I still had a spare HR engine/tranny + ECU from my 350z old days.
the switch from 7AT to a 6MT isnt too bad
I could have went on the cheap side with used OEM stuff (clutch pedal assy. master cylinder and hose...) but I didnt.

just wondering, why didnt you just buy a 6mt in the first place?

Why?

im not gonna debate a 7AT Vs 6MT
but I will share my experience with you since you asked

When I had 6MT 350z in the pass and was tracking it as well. It was good and everything then when the time came for the 370z. The 7AT proved to be a much more advance auto tranny than their previous one on the 350z which suck.

7AT with its paddle shifter was quite attractive and very fast shifting.
I was 50/50 between the 2 of them. Im not into drifting so the use o the clutch isn't that needed.

So after going on the track and being quite aggressive I discovered some flaws on the 7AT that made me switch back to the 6MT mosty because I blew the VVEL head and I didn't want to put another VVEL engine in there and I went with the HR head swap

Budget was another big reason since the warranty didn't cover my engine.


The 7AT needs the 370z ECU to function and since it wasn't there anymore I couldn't use it and then find some fix to correct the flaws Ive seen on the track.
