This thread (https://www.infinitiq60.org/threads/infiniti-q60-3-0t-6mt-conversion.19453/) is a dedicated How-To for a 6 speed manual conversion on a 2017 Infiniti Q60 Red Sport 400 (3.0T). I purchased this vehicle with the intent to do this 6MT swap. Previously, I have owned a 2003 Infiniti G35 6MT and a 2008 G37 6MT. I was very interested in the increased performance on the Red Sport 400 (3.0T), but put off by the automatic transmission (just my personal preference). I followed the development from Concept Z's 6MT swap and hoped to see them commercialize this conversion. Covid happened and CZP did not release a kit or any further information.
Therefore, I have figured out the details and would like to share them for anyone else interested in this conversion on a 2017+ Infiniti Q60. One benefit to the delay is the availability of parts from the 2023+ Nissan Z. I decided to use the trans and clutch from the new Z. In total (not including the research), this took 50 hours to complete. I had a local driveshaft shop modify my driveshaft. The full parts list is below. Also, a special thanks too the following who offered their support:
