Congrats man! Welcome to the club.

Check out the tutorial over at 300zxclub.com, its pretty detailed. You'd probably be looking for spend between $650 to maybe $900 max, depending on if you have a shop do it, if you have the shop get the parts and if you have them do the labor. Suggestion, find a cheap manual transmission, find the parts for cheap as new as you can and make sure you have all the harnesses. If you get the majority of all the parts and stuff you'll need for the swap it will be cheaper. For me its going to cost $850 because im having a small time mechanic do the swap that works with Z's. Good luck bro, heres the link:

~$4,OOO From the time you drop your car off at the shop to the time you pick it up. The $4K is general rule when a competent mechanic is doing the work.

to get a tranny for cheap for that car, try Home Page. (Tiger Japanese Auto Parts) They have low mileage engines between $790-$890 and transmissions between $290-$300. 25K-35K miles because they are JDM parts. Shipping might kill you though because these guys are in Canada, depending on where you live. I ordered an engine for my 91'. $1004 including shipping.
