I don't even have those features for my 2014 nissian maxima SV. I don't know what generation it is. Mines a black one. With a purple haze. Mine doesn't have that sport package paddle shifter like what you have. Your car is very nice. I like the mods that you added to it. Switching mine to a Manuel would be an awesome deal. I have 105k miles on it with no problems with the CVT. It's like I'm thinking in my head of all the vids of people's CVTs failing but when I looked into the ones taking them apart that their cvt fluid was very dirty. So I keep mine clean and take care of all the maintenance on it. I want those front lights that you have. Where did you do the cvt to manuel swap at? That is pretty cool and I think your car will last forever man. Yeah those things you pointed out that you would lose if you did the swap isn't that important haha. I don't really use the cruise control that much unless I go on a big trips. But yeah I would still prefer the Manuel over the CVT.
So if the cvt is taken care of it can last over 200k miles I’ve seen it lol. The lights are cool but wish they were brighter. And the car was swapped at Nizztech here in Orlando Florida
The mirrow and moving seat I’m working on a solution for that. The ebrake taking long is the adjustment is to lose in the center console. The cruise control a new update will be release on that soon
Was well worth the swap. I have no idea what Nissan was thinking when they decided to make the Maxima CVT only. Easy to pick em up cheap because of that haha
For the Mirror, you could check the wiring diagram and see if it's just a switch that gets activated when the Auto went into reverse. If so, then you could technically rewire that to switch on when the reverse light switch is activated from the manual trans. Or how ever the reverse camera gets activated. Either way, it's more effort, but I don't believe it's completely Gone, if you really wanted to pursue that. With the E-brake Depending on what the brakes are like, it's entirely possible to change/convert to a manual style E-brake. Again, more research is needed. Or the style that drifters use, I believe it's a hydraulic manual handle. But, again, research & effort are what you gotta weigh out for that valued loss. Either way though, it's a comfort that most sports cars don't give you anyways. Thank you for posting the content! PS. did you post what transmission you used?
Nice Swap... I am trying to do one myself. Is there a forum I can go to in order to know how to connect the new electrical sensors on the clutch and transmission to the Maxima wiring harness?
Definitely worth it, I'd like to know what transmission you used. I've been looking for some compatible with the VQ35DE but haven't found anything specific
I have an 09 maxima, I already don’t have a moving steering wheel, moving mirrors, and my cruise control doesn’t work 😂 might as well go ahead since the only thing I do have is the CVT 😭
What is the biggest difference you noticed from a cvt to a 6 speed manual? Also, are you planning to increase the HP to it , since it's a manual? I know cvts restrict HP gains. Your videos been dope and appreciate you sharing your journey with the maxima .
Major difference I seen between both is the Manual moves faster the car is more responsive. Cvt held the car back a lot. But cvt is more comfortable since you don’t have to shift or down shift to to merge fast
Fuck those features i wish i could have my q50 with plain roll down windowns manual windows and key ignition even more no airbags simple and straightforward so yeah 6 speed for the win.
Did the old automatic fail first? Or did you do after failure? How long will the old auto last? Miles. I got 84k on my 2010 maxi. I changed the auto fluid at 75k as per the warranty.
The No-Cruise-Control is a total deal breaker for me. There has to be a way around that. Do you know exactly why it fails following the swap? Is there a mention to bypass what ever sensor is required?
Thanks for the videos. I have a 2012 Altima with a blown qr and looking into swapping out a 12 or newer 3.5. Probably gonna just go with a cvt to get started since most parts cars are cvts locally to me. I really would love to have this 6spd manual done once I get the 3.5 in and going. Im doing the engine swap myself but as far as the 6 speed I would be wasting time and money guessing or looking for answers. If you dont mind giving a somewhat ball park price it ran to you have the shop do it? If youre not comfortable sharing, completely understand. Ive seen the altimas swapped I just havent reached out to anyone to talk more on it. Thanks again
Glad you like the videos. As for the price I have a video on the channel explaining the price of each part and how much everything was. It’s like a parts and price break down
Okay but what about the 8th gen… I love my 8th gen, I don’t want to get rid of it but I might have to if this cvt keeps fucking failing. Manual swap would be PERFECT on 8th gen. Manual swap?
Exhaust was muffler delete vibrant resonator , y-pipe. Now I have ISR single exit and I say go for the swap if you really want to do it. But the parts are difficult to come by
Not a total deal breaker really I’ve had way less and was still very contempt I want this maxima bc of the looks primarily screw the rest so w that added I want to buy one drive it stock for a little while then eventually swap it to manual
So you have had the swap for a year or so now, would you do it again? Is it worth it? I want to do it iv had my maxima for 5 years now if you have a discord id like to be able to talk to you about the swap bro
@@HorsepowerLabs so going 80mph on the hwy my trans bound up it sounded like a rocket going to the moon while slowing me down, all the lights came on and cvt. Throw it into neutral all lights came off I coast the car into a parking light the only light left on is the oil pressure light. Tow it to a shop they say u need a new oil switch they put it in cars all set but yours trans is on its way out. I go to pick it up, I start it it’s knocking like rod knock now
Crazy how my ‘12 S only got an emergency brake and cruise control 💀, i dont even got paddle shifters or heated seats. Nun of that. But… weight reduction maybe 🤔
nice, I have a 6 speed 5th gen and I'm bout to swap in a 7th gen engine. did you get a tranny with LSD. I'm running an LSD from the B15 Sentra SE-R Spec V.
Like 6-7 no headers and almost 8 with headers. But I added more things on top of the swap if not it would’ve been way cheaper. I put a video up explaining it all

What you guys think? Do these matter?
Nope I can live without em
@@predalien34 ^
What can I expect to pay for converting to a manual. And how do I go about doing that. Do you have a video on this topic I can watch?
@@layzy24 yes there is a video before this one that I talk about the swap and price and where to find some parts
Thanks for making this video man. Nobody takes the time to talk about this kind of thing with the manual swap
You’re welcome bro. I’m here to help you guys.

Damn this was such a great idea until you said no cruise control.... Ain't no way! Great car amazing video!
The 2005 Zafir B has cruise control, and it's a manual.
All I'm saying is Gut the Zafira and plant the CC in the Maxi.
Dang honestly for me comfort>performance every time so honestly these are deal breakers 😂 but that 6 speed is something serious
Those things are being worked on to work again
The mirrow and moving seat I’m working on a solution for that.
The ebrake taking long is the adjustment is to lose in the center console.
The cruise control a new update will be release on that soon
Shiii my car not even swapped yet and my mirrors don’t move down when I’m in reverse, they only move once in a blue moon😭😭😭
Ohh cant wait 😂
You always on a mission bro.
Did you got it working?
Just commenting to support the channel.
Thanks bro 😎
Aye the intro is back less goo🎉🎉🎉
Nice vid btw brodie💪🏾
Wanna change the intro I forget I have this one lol
Was well worth the swap. I have no idea what Nissan was thinking when they decided to make the Maxima CVT only. Easy to pick em up cheap because of that haha
The only thing I'd miss is the ebrake. Seems worthwhile to get rid of the CVT.
You get used to the electronic one
For the Mirror, you could check the wiring diagram and see if it's just a switch that gets activated when the Auto went into reverse. If so, then you could technically rewire that to switch on when the reverse light switch is activated from the manual trans. Or how ever the reverse camera gets activated.

PS. did you post what transmission you used?
I mean i got use to it already but they working on something to bring it back. Transmission is from 2010 Nissan Altima 3.5 manual.
I see this car all the time bc we live in the same neighborhood, waved to u frm my black 7th gen lol dope channel bro, we gotta link!💪🏾
Bet I think I seen you
Nice Swap... I am trying to do one myself. Is there a forum I can go to in order to know how to connect the new electrical sensors on the clutch and transmission to the Maxima wiring harness?
Man, those are some of the key features I love dearly, I wonder if it could be wired to keep those features.
I been wondering the same. I want the side mirrors to tilt down the rest I can live without
Congratulations on the swap!
Thanks bro 😎
There has to be a way to get these reconnected especially the cruise control.
Being worked on
Definitely worth it, I'd like to know what transmission you used. I've been looking for some compatible with the VQ35DE but haven't found anything specific
I replied to your other comment. 07-12 Nissan Altima 3.5 manual transmission
I have an 09 maxima, I already don’t have a moving steering wheel, moving mirrors, and my cruise control doesn’t work 😂 might as well go ahead since the only thing I do have is the CVT 😭
Yes we'll worth it bro.
Like a new car bud. Looks like the premium package delete Good looking out. Thanks.
Oh yeah I love it and the stares I get in the street completes it
You're inspiring me man
Im glad bro. 💪
I don’t have those features in mine. Just the cruise control it’s totally worth it. I need help and advice with mine I live in Dallas Texas
What is the biggest difference you noticed from a cvt to a 6 speed manual? Also, are you planning to increase the HP to it , since it's a manual? I know cvts restrict HP gains. Your videos been dope and appreciate you sharing your journey with the maxima .
Anytime bro. Tbh I do plan on increasing the power. Let’s see what we can do. Journeys is not even close to done
Major difference I seen between both is the Manual moves faster the car is more responsive. Cvt held the car back a lot. But cvt is more comfortable since you don’t have to shift or down shift to to merge fast
@@HorsepowerLabs quick question with or without the manual have you ran into any RT challengers and if so does the 3.5 dust them
@@cedricmiller4370 I heard some cvt maxes keeping up. 6-speed would dust an rt.
@@HorsepowerLabs ok I kinda figured it's a chance the CVT could keep up with RT and the 6 speed being a threat to RT
The thing about the seats and steering wheel moving is in the settings
Tried but still nothing
Fuck those features i wish i could have my q50 with plain roll down windowns manual windows and key ignition even more no airbags simple and straightforward so yeah 6 speed for the win.
I want to swap my cvt 2019 civic coupe 1.5t to manual. Ive owned it since new, and have kept it super clean, and always done my own maintenance early.
Keep up the good vids bro very informative 💪🏾 I need a 6sp 😭
Thanks bro 😎
Did the old automatic fail first? Or did you do after failure?
How long will the old auto last? Miles. I got 84k on my 2010 maxi.
I changed the auto fluid at 75k as per the warranty.
The automatic CVT was still working. The car had over 200,000 miles on original cvt. If you take care of it it will last
What kind of HP gains or engine mods have you made ?
Wait sooo you can use the paddle shifters too 😵
The Nismo edition came manual nice swap tho
Now is it possible to do a automatic swap?
The e-brake is a deal breaker, cruise control too.
It’s not as bad after you live with it lol
The No-Cruise-Control is a total deal breaker for me. There has to be a way around that. Do you know exactly why it fails following the swap? Is there a mention to bypass what ever sensor is required?
Not sure why we lose it but it’s being worked on to have it working again
There has to be a way around that because the old school Maxima stick shifts still had cruise control even the 370z 6speed manual uses cruise control
@@cedricmiller4370 yeah they are working on that now
Maybe a BCM from a 350Z manual?
@@camberwellcarrot420 maybe but these new cars are delicate with computer stuff
How much was the transmission swap?
Thanks for the videos. I have a 2012 Altima with a blown qr and looking into swapping out a 12 or newer 3.5.

OH SHIT THE SURPRISE FOLLOW UP
And more to come
great car, but alt location is ass, buddy upgraded alts and we had to take the entire front end off, so annoying
Tell me about it. I’ve had to do it like 3 times
Okay but what about the 8th gen… I love my 8th gen, I don’t want to get rid of it but I might have to if this cvt keeps fucking failing. Manual swap would be PERFECT on 8th gen. Manual swap?
Swapped 8th Gen that would be 🔥
As someone with the same exact car and thinking of doing the same thing what do you think the best route to go would be also what exhaust do you have
Exhaust was muffler delete vibrant resonator , y-pipe. Now I have ISR single exit and I say go for the swap if you really want to do it. But the parts are difficult to come by
What year is your max? Mine is a 08 3.5 se. I hate cvt bs. Does the manual fit in its place easily or no?
It’s 2009 and yeah 6mt fits great
No more paddle shifters
Not a total deal breaker really I’ve had way less and was still very contempt I want this maxima bc of the looks primarily screw the rest so w that added I want to buy one drive it stock for a little while then eventually swap it to manual
I love it mann
Thanks bro
Yes it’s still worth it
Am thinking about buying a 2011 quest and attempt to manual swap it.
Would be cool but good luck mounting the shifter lol
My 09 gives option In radio settings for tilt and seat
Mine does too but with the swap it went away but we’ll get it back
What transmission did you use for the swap
2010 Nissan Altima 3.5 manual transmission
Where can I get a manual transmission for a 7th generation?
Junk yard best bet
What year is your maxima and did it come with the rear camera?
It’s 2009 SV sport technology and yes came with camera
Cruise control is a deal breaker for me
I believe Gerson working on getting it back. Or it will be nitrous button 😂
Is there a automatic swap vs manual? I want to increase power but I don't necessarily want a manual.
I haven’t seen an automatic transmission swap. Might be possible but haven’t seen any
Some features that are lost I bet can be programmed back by a good programmer.
They still working on that. So far they got cruise control to work
would it be cheaper to rebuild a cvt or manual swap?
Tbh idk it depends on how much the parts come out to be and labor
Did anyone figure out how to save these yet? I really need cruise control most
Still working on that
So you have had the swap for a year or so now, would you do it again? Is it worth it? I want to do it iv had my maxima for 5 years now if you have a discord id like to be able to talk to you about the swap bro
You can dm me on instagram @realgmaxine_ but if I would do the swap again? Well for the money I spent no. But for a lot less yeah I would.

Dude what is the name of the splitters u got one there i want those for my maxima!
There were custom made by @splittersbypepin hit him up on Instagram. He might be able to make you some
Where can I get my transmission swap? or did you do it yourself?
I have a 14 maxima 3.5, I want to either swap the engine whole if possible or just the tranny? Any advice on where or how?
I got mine swapped my Randy at Nizztech here in longwood florida. Your best bet is doing transmission swap
Crazy how my ‘12 S only got an emergency brake and cruise control 💀, i dont even got paddle shifters or heated seats. Nun of that. But… weight reduction maybe 🤔
Might be base trim

I lied so i edited it lol, its S
@@JavierRamirez-gx3vk I figured lol
How many miles you got on your car?
226k
None of that shit matters lol. Long as the heat and ac work
I got the same one I got the motor and the tranny but I need the clutch where u got urs if u don't mind the question
I got the clutch and flywheel from nisformance
nice, I have a 6 speed 5th gen and I'm bout to swap in a 7th gen engine. did you get a tranny with LSD. I'm running an LSD from the B15 Sentra SE-R Spec V.
Nice choice in engine. I don’t have LSD yet but maybe in the future
Btw 5th Gen are sick I love them
How much did it cost ?
Like 6-7 no headers and almost 8 with headers. But I added more things on top of the swap if not it would’ve been way cheaper. I put a video up explaining it all
9 speed automatic needed
🤷♂️ I think manual
Can a 6 speed work on a 8th gen
Haven’t seen one yet
Company that bill modified cvt thay are built pruff, 3000
Ayo how to I contact you we’ve met before an I got some questions
Message me on IG: @realgmaxine_
10,0000 just for mal bull
I dont think its worth it. Everything minus the ebrake is such a luxury. You might as well get a different car
It’s being worked on to get it back
