Today I received the remaining parts needed to complete the 6MT swap! Hopefully I can finish installing the new transmission this weekend.

- Jim Wolf Technology clutch and light weight flywheel
- Flywheel bolts
- Tilton Racing clutch master cylinder
- Shifter handle
- SS braided clutch lines

This past weekend I received my new 6MT transmission for the G35! It is the latest version, model CD00A. I am waiting for my clutch, lightened flywheel, hardware, and Tilton clutch master cylinder upgrade. Hopefully I will be able to finish the transmission install within the next 2 weeks.

I am slowly preparing my G35 for the track again, and finally getting around to doing some of the minor modifications that I have wanted to complete for a very long time. I recently purchased a Works Bell short boss and a Works Bell Rapfix II quick release. The price is pretty high, but the quality of these parts are very good! Once installed to the car, it is a very tight fit with no movement or play.

WB Rapfix II Quick Release

This weekend I purchased a new 20 ton shop press for my home. I have had a set of dimple dies for many years, but have never used them. I cut a panel out with my plasma cutter, carefully drilled all of the holes, and then used the press and dimple dies to dimple the metal. The dimples add rigidity to the part while taking away materiel and weight - plus they look cool!

This weekend I built the mounting brackets for the dual core engine oil cooler. The lower radiator support was also fabricated. I still must complete the following:

1. brackets for the headlights
2. brackets for the front splitter
3. brackets for power steering cooler
4: front bumper cover quick disconnect fitting install
5. front tow hook install
6. front bumper grill mounting
7. ducting and air diverters to direct airflow through fluid coolers and radiator
