According to Autoweek, there will be a 6-speed manual:

"The one thing lacking on the first G35s is a manual transmission. The
five-speed automatic does a good job as far as automatics go, maybe as good
as anything out there, but were guessing it might be worth it to wait a
year for the manual, the same unit that will be on the 350Z.
"'You didnt get to drive the six-speed manual,' said Crahan. 'The Z
transmission will be the best youve ever seen. The S2000 is the best out
there now, but the S2000 has no torque. When the Z car comes out itll have
the best shifter feel on the market, better than Porsche, BMW, everyone.'"
