Not sure how the 350z transmission is going to even fit inside the existing transmission tunnel without some modification to the sheetmetal/chassis itself since it's a relative large transmission compare to the 86.

I've looked into this a good bit.
The CD009 swap has a fitting kit, and a lot of cutting for new mounts of the trans. It does fit - but its pretty tight. It would take some fabbing to get the PTuning kit to work due to the turbo placement and front-pipe.
A better idea (for this kit specifically) is to look into the Jack's Transmissions upgraded trans for the BRZ/FRS. Additionally, PAR makes straight-cut gears to open/swap in with the 4th gear thrust-load fix. Also, I believe Velox is making FT86 upgraded gears/trans parts.
I'm not sure how much these cost... but IIRC the CD009 swap being offered is ~ $4K or more.
