Can you interchange some of the parts from a 93 Altima to a 90 Maxima? My uncle bought a 93 Altima thinking you could. Is this true??

 

Shifts ***** yes. Nothing else.

 

why would you want to?

 

by saying shift *****... you mean like.... short shifter and everything?

 

Very few parts are interchangeable...Maybe a few control relays/shifter **** maybe/not much else..

 

I donno about a short shift, I just meant the ****.

 

the exterior you might be able to get the grille to work and maybe the mirrors but other than that and the badging nothing else would work on the exterior

engine no and probably not the tranny either

interior the front seat will bolt up and the rear ones do too if i remember.



if you don't mind doing some fab work you might get away with the door panels and the center console and the dash. there is some similarities but it wouldn't be a direct replacement it will take some effort and know how!!! i would start with checking the width first and see if it is long enough. also some misc interior trim might work too like the B pillars trim and maybe the power seat belts

 

here is some pics so you cann see what i mean by the mirrors



if they do match up you know know you can do something like this. but pretty sure mirros will work don't quote me on it though!!!!

Steering wheel from 96 Altima is identical to my 93 maximas....your brake pads, rotors, calipers are all the same also. No sure on rear brakes but front are the same. I believe thats about it...perhaps the sparkplugs too but I doubt it

 

thankyou. I looked at the grille and I took measurments. It didnt work. We went ahead and sold it back. It was nice for a "junk" car..
Thankyou all!

 

brake rotors will not swap over. nor will the calipers. the rotors are considerably smaller on the Altima, and they also have a 4 lug wheel, not 5.
the pads are the same though, as I've used old spare pads out of my Maxima on my wife's altima. but other than that, you're not going to get much to move over. completely different engine, chassis, drivetrain, suspension design, etc.

 

spark plugs? even if you swap them over you're still short two.

 

lol of course you are but who the hell swaps spark plugs. I was thinking that the part number MIGHT be the same.

As for the rotors...I completlely forgot that the 2002 and below Altimas were 4 lugs (lol woopsie) but for calipers I seriously thought they were the same...

 

calipers ARE the same, sorry to bump an old *** thread but just noticed someone in a newer thread talking about altima steering wheel on maxima and it reminded me of this thread which also reminded me that I used a spare front caliper I had for my Max on my buddy's Altima when his started leaking and he really needed his car to get to work at 2am

 

"most" of the FWD nissan of the same time generally have the same caliper mount. same for RWD. for example: Z32 brakes would work on S13.

 

physical bolt on most nissans can be swapped. it's the offset of it and rotor spacing that varied widely.

 

All fwd rotor are offset the same...the rotor different due to the 4 bolt pattern (same as Sentra), A/T is the same for the altima and maxima however I think the bellhousing are removable/different to fit both engines...IIRC.

 

AT is the same from Stanza to 89-94 VG30e Maxima but different gearing. Don't know about Altima though

 

altima got a different trans depending on the year
RE4F03A is the early altima trans
RE4F02A is the VG maxima and stanza
RE4F04V is the VE Maxima

 

damn I'm good
