does anyone know if theres an all wheel drive kit for a 95 se?????????.....love the car but it hates to keep traction in 1st and partial 2nd....

 

Get a limited slip from a Canadian maxima or Infiniti I30.

 

where can i get on....ie jcwhitney....sumit....ebay??????? ....i should also mention that im new to this whole import scene.....used to own ford......had enough room in the engine bay for me to sit

 

yeah there are plenty out there....you should just swap in a skyline engine while your at it....The FAQ's have all the anwsers you need.

 

would love to but how much would that cost and how difficult to put in....and is every thing already there or do i need to custom make stuff......ie the rear drive axle chnl and the tranny and that sort of thin.....tried lookin but cannot find anything

 

Are you serious?

It's going to be cheaper, easier, and smarter to sell your car and buy an early 90s AWD talon/eclipse.

 

You are gonna get flamed for being such a noob but i'll tell you what I know:

There are no "kits" available to make our cars rwd or awd. As far as engine swaps and making it rwd......Anything is possible with money.....This would be possible, but it'll cost you A LOT!!......No one has done this before. The only engine swap we can do is a VQ35 swap. Ask Tilley for details on that....We can do a ton of mods(IMO) to our cars. Just check the mods sticky at the top of the page. Any more questionsfeelfree to ask us AFTER YOU READ ALL THE STICKIES and can't fnd an answer there.

Welcome to the woderful world of FWD and maximas.

 

I just saw a complete maxima/skyline/supra/skoda awd duper super swap on ebay for $5.00


Hopefully this will save you being flamed.
There is no 2wd to awd kit for ANY nissan (that i know of and using stock components doesnt count). If you were to convert a maxima to AWD it would require either a totaly custom tranny to bolt upto a transvers 3.0 engine and a massive amount of fabrication to mount the rear axle. Or drop in a pathfinder tranny/motor/ecu/shocks... everything also massive fabbing. It would cost you 20k at LEAST. If you could do all the work yourself you might save 3 or 4 grand.

but no, there is no easy way to make a maxima awd, buy a g35x.

 

How about getting better tires? That is cheap and effective. AWD on a Maxima is a complex solution to a simple problem.

 

For the money you will spend, get a G35X!

 

I installed my AWD right before we got some snow last week.. I got it in just in time. It adds some weight though, I just take it off for summer.

 

awd 4th gen?? there is a kit avaliable but its expensive as hell looks cool though

i used to have a subaru wrx awd...that car was fun fun fun..no rice for me though..all it needed was a leather interior and better speakers/nav..I woulda kept it like no tomorrow...bye subaru...ya so back on topic..if you have 12g's..buy a wrx awd..fun a f*ck car.

 

yea there is no Kit for AWD, if there was, I'm sure half the people on here would be.

Get good sport direction tires, rims, drop the car, rsb, y pipe, greddy SP, LSD tranny, sythetic fluids all around. SS brake lines, SS clutch line, MEVI, and ECU.

that should ge the max just how you want it, since you seem to have money for a AWD kit, then that should be nothing.

but if you really want rwd, or AWD, then get a RWD or AWD car, you'll save a lot in the end.

 

You guys are @ssholes lol all of u should be ashamed of yourselves, u were all n00bs too at one point, instead of wasting the whole post flaming the guy u coulda just gave him a simple (correct answer) and some i guess thats better than nothing. Correct answer...

No u cannot convert a maxima to awd, just NO. With money bla bla bla, with money u could make it a ferrari by taking the maxima letters off the back, running the entire car off a cliff, then glueing the maxima letters to the ferrari so that answer is bogus. As far as not being able to convert any Nissan from 2wd to awd, thats totally wrong both skylines and silvia's can be converted either way (and 240sx's also) so its possible... it just helps if u start with a Rwd car so that the engine is at least facing the correct way. The limited slip will just give u traction to both front tires instead of having just one spinning under load. Hope that helps, and to avoid more of this, reading the stickies is probably a good idea, although i don't even remember this being covered in them <shrug>

 

Like MilesA said, just get better tires and learn how to launch you car.

 

dude, it's part of their welcoming...dumb posts get dumb replies

 

we were all newbies and i got flammed when i started, and soemtimes still do.... but even the thought of acually converting this car to AWD is rediclulous! therefor he should be flammed beyond anything i have ever seen in an altezza thread...

 

Someone ban this stupid fxck!

 

Just get a set of crap steel wheels and run some studded snows and steer with your e-brake.... that's if your e-brake cables are any good!

 

awd would be cool but it aint gunna happen man, sorry you got flamed so bad.

 

well than....the only reason i asked is becuase a friend said he saw someone wit a skyline drivetrain in a 96 max i think it was and i can launch my car ok....like i said this is the first fwd ive owned.........

 

I dont know whos more you or your friend
