then go for it, while you are at it might as well throw in an RB26DETT and make your Maxima AWD. All it takes is money. right?

ok all you have to do is unbold the tranny and bolt the vq30 tranny, am I right or what? Nissans v4 trannys are all compatable, there v6 ones are all compatable, and so on, somepeople on the sr20 forums bolted a sr20 to a sentra tranny, forgot who but my sentra buddy, (my crew lead) was tellin me about it, didnt believe it untill I read the thread tho.
