If you'd asked me this question over the summer, I would have said no way. But like anything that takes getting used to, I think today I would say, "Let me drive that first and see."
What would probably happen is that over time you'd figure out how to daily drive the car like a normal person, but there's no getting around how much shifting you'd be doing. So while 4.083 gears are reasonable to live with in the G/Z 6MT, I suspect even shorter gears would be awkward.

How to do it
Here's a list of parts I used:
38100-0C760 : 4.083:1 Ring & pinion
38140-0C00A : Pinion Front Bearing
38120-EC000 : Pinion Rear Bearing
38189-P0117 : Oil Seal
38154-0C000 : Washer adjustment
43262-01P10 : Drive Pinion Nut Lock
38165-0C020 : Differential Spacer

It also looks like two of the parts have changed numbers according to Nissan: 38120-EC000 has changed to 38120-0C000 and 43262-01P10 has changed to 43262-01P1A.
Thanks!

I bought a diff rebuid kit from TheNismoShop, which is actually just the parts dept from West Covina Nissan... if I recall correctly. It's probably back in this thread somewhere, or my build thread. They screwed up the kit, and it took me a while to work with them to get the all the parts fulfilled. If I had to make a rec, I'd say get it from Z1. I know you've had issues with them, but that was service, whereas they seem fine in parts.
