Vr30 trans swap in g37x sedan
Okay, so I’m planning on doing a vr30 trans swap (or I’d like to anyway). I don’t plan on boosting the car, this is more for longevity, as I plan to have my car for a long time. My car is full bolt tuned at the moment, and I know the stock trans can handle it. But I do plan on doing more (e85, cams, etc). And I want a trans that I know for a fact will handle it with no issues. I’ve heard of plenty of people doing this, so I know it’s plenty possible.
I know it’s not simple plug and play. I’ll need a tcm, re-drill the holes for the crank sensor and brackets, and that I’ll need a new/custom driveshaft. The only question I have is, for any guys that have done this on an X, how much longer does the driveshaft need to be?

In your case you'll need a shorter rear shaft but a longer front shaft.
You might get away with the Q front shaft and with the rear possibly a mix of 2 drive shafts
In my opinion, wait a bit longer to see what others discover since the AWD trans swap will likely take off in the next year.
