rear wheel drive maxima. has anybody done it and if so what about twin turbo. i have a little project in the making but im not gonna release full details just yet. i just wanted to get some feedback on these. oh one more. vh45de maxima is that possible. thats a q45 engine. just tell me what you think.

 

Anything is possible, i've seen a civic with a skyline engine. Just takes cash and a good mechanic. If your talking about do it yourself...No its official impossible unless you own a garage and mechine shop. Not to meantion that engine (q45 is pretty big) i dunno if it'll even fit in the engine bay.

 

give us a write up and pictures.. other than that.. i am going to have to call you a liar

 

i talked to a max owner who was gunna try to make a max rwd, but said the money being spent would be alot! and lots of work to get this done.

 

why is he a liar, he didnt state anything that he had, nor what he was doing, he was just asking a question, and he did not reveal any specs on his "project"

i dont think a q45 engine would fit, and rear wheel drive would be a lot of work and the difference wont be worth the money *in my opinion* and as far as twin turbos, im sure with money it is definatly possible, but i dont know what you would need to do to pass emissions

 

Clee's old car had the full conversion. Sadly, it is no longer with us...or him.

 

you have two choices.. you can ither shorten your sig.. or i can have it shortened for you

 

thanks DTR Maxima and your right i havent said what my project is i was just asking for some feedback. oh and no i would never try to do anythign like this myself. my project is being done by a man who does most of the nissan hybrids in atl. he is telling me what he can do and how much it would cost me. he is sponsoring the labor on my car but i have to go to alot of shows with his name on my car. its still not gonna be cheap even because im gonna have to buy the engine and parts, maybe even a whole q45. if anybody can do it, it would be this guy he put a rb26dett in a 240sx and made it all wheel drive. he is also putting a vh45de in a 240sx.

oh and sprintmax what do you want me to do?

 

hey mzmtg what did that max have done to it?

and doens anybody konw of any maxima that has anything other the stock engine

 

lets see.. first off..

240 sx is RWD.. mounting a RWD engine in a RWD car is simple..

to custom fabricate a RWD engine in a car and then make the car RWD.. you will have to basically get a J30 and put a maxima body on top of it..

 

I'm not letting anyone know ... I'm an arrogant and selfish SOB and am not ever letting the secrets out.

 

fcking assshole moderators selfish fcks

 

doing that to a 240 is not easy and would not be easy to do it to a maxima. the feedback has been great up to this point but i would still like to konw if there are any rwd maximas out there or at least maybe a 95-99 with a 3.5 in it or something. its hard to believe that nobody has done an engine swap on a maxima. this will be my four hybrid my first was a sohc vtec in my 89 hatchback and then a but a nonvtec b18 in my 88 crx my last hybrid was a ca18det in my 90 240sx coupe. the ca18det is like a 4cyl skyline engine.you know just like ht 4.3 vortec is a 6cly 350. but anyway im just trying to get ideas comments and info on the maxima. i have had my maxima for some time but never thought of doing anythign to make it a speed car. i always like having tv'sand air cyl on my car. and the air cyl are for sell if anybody wants them.

well thanks and keep it coming

vh45dett maxima soon to come

 

Buy a RWD car dude.

 

Supposedly there is a guy in Jersey that did it. He put the twin turbo 300 zx engine in the car witht the tranny. He had 600hp to the wheels. he has reconverted the car back to stock because he kept breaking rear axles on a regular basis. I've talked to someone who knows the people at the shop that did it.

 

maxima != honda

the only reason you havn't gotten negative feedback yet is because everyone is sick of answring these questions..

its even in the FAQ.. so if you could.. do this.. provide pics and information.. that way we can put a picture of your car and your information in the FAQ's so we can stop answering this question

 

4th Gen or 3rd Gen?

 

4th

 

It had that elusive adobe photoshop modification.. hard to find.

 

 

He should have swapped his rear axle. I know someone who has a rx-7 turbo engine in an old toyota corolla body and he had to swap the rear axle with a mustang one because it kept breaking.

 

Well this is one good way to lose creditability........

 

While I am sure there is some creative intelligence happening here, I was wondering why the flock would you bother.

Converting a Maxima to rear wheel would have already been done if :

1) It was a viable possibility

2) Worht the time and effort

3) If you are trying to be an innovator my hat is off to you for thinking outside the box.

I sure hate to be critical but it might be helpful to do some research prior to posting this B.S.

I may as well put a HEMI in a flocking YUGO.

[Dodge Commercial] That thing got a hemi? [/Dodge Commercial]

 

nevermind.. i just added you to the ingore list.. that way you keep your sig.. and i keep my sanity

 

Without pics,

 

Did Meccanoble change his username?

 

twin turbo...and RWD...hmmm

 

Lol No mecca Didn't change his Sig!!! LOL!!! If you notice i put supposedly in my statement. I agree with you guys, I'll believe it when i see it. But I just posted something that I spoke to some one about, not mecca. However, mecca does know of the same people who "supposedly" did the work. I will see if i can get the name of the shop thats did the work. I wasn't and am not trying to get flamed!! I was just answering to the possibility! DAMN!!!

 

Yeah he told me the same sh... u wouldnt beleive the cost.

 

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD:

1) There are no RWD Maximas. There never will be.

2) There are no twin-turbo Maximas. There never will be.

3) There are no "rear-wheel drive conversions". That's not a conversion, that's called making a new vehicle from scratch.

There is always "some guy" "somewhere" that has done everything above. But it's ALWAYS

Remember the Ford Shogun? The little Fiesta with a SHO engine stuffed in the trunk? That was cool. And probably cost Ford 1-2 million dollars of cooless....

-RMB

 

read through the whole thread... whew!!! is RWD maxima possible? i think so. ever seen that focus, made by kugel (www.ford-v8-focus.com)? i'm sure the same can pretty much can be done with most FWD cars - its like building an 8-point rollcage for the car, cause it goes from bumper to bumper. it's like hanging maxima panels on a tube frame chassis. think of the powerplant and tranny choices. now, will anyone do it?

 

Does SprintMax think, Think he cool? chil out dude your taking your anger out on the keyboard.

to mean

 

I think the org made him this way. Way too much

 

you guys need to find my old sig and read it...

 

ewuuuu someone just got 2 more mr.cool points at chucky-cheese

 

 

couple of years ago i read in a magazine about a company that mde stretch limo's out of Ferrari and Porsche's, if you can turn a 911 turbo into a stretch limo, i'm sure you can make a RWD or even a AWD Maxima with a RB26DETT, you might have to be a bit of a bill gates type to do it though.
