Why would you bother? The RB25 transmission is very stout. Plus the speed sensor is still located on the trans which means wiring up the speedo is a snap.
On the VQ trans there is no speed sensor housing because G's and 350's all run the speed sensor off the differential.

Oh and yes you would have to cut and weld bellhousings or get make an adapter plate.

Oh and the gearing on the VQ transmission is setup for a 3:54 rear end . With 3:90 gears it spins em in the first three gears and has a a very short 1st.

With our 4:08's the 1st is almost useless thus making it a 5 speed transmission again for all intensive purposes.

The RB25 transmission on the other hand was geared to work with 4:11 rears which basically puts it right in the ballpark with our 4:08's.

Go RB25 transmission, less headache, less work, less hassle and totally strong.

most likely the op's reply will be "but broh broh, i have a 350z trans laying around, i don't have the RB trans"
