swapping vg for vg

I was reading on www.toysport.com looking for info on putting a turbo on my parent's Previa...came across this:
Nissan Maxima Turbo

Nissan Motorsport asked us to prototype a car for Nissan Product Development, of course we obliged. They had a Maxima and wanted us to install a 300ZX turbo engine for product evaluation. It was a nice easy job- since they parked a 300ZX with it for parts. In any conversion chasing parts is the hardest thing to do. There were a lot of clearance problems and we had to use a Japanese home market manifold to make everything fit. For sometime the Director of Motorsports (Nissan) used the vehicle. Hopped up with the usual array of HKS gadgets- the car was really a fast cruiser. Since the statute of limitations has expired- now it can be told- there was a big problem under hard starts the car would pull hard to one side- the result of unequal driveshafts! No, not a good product combination.

I don't hang around the 3rd gen board that much, but has this been discussed already?

Yup, and it's been done by members here as well.

LSD would help with that torque steer.
