I'de go for the RB26DETT conversion. It's the easiest to do, and you can say you drive a skyline. Oh, and also a true dual exhaust. Ninos said it will fit, and since he is an expert, it must be true.

make sure you eat something kosher because our maximas tend to act funny when you eat other things.

well, while you are down there you might want to take a coin and measure your tread, i do this daily and keep a log of my tire mileage. you could also make sure your wheel weights are still in place. with thousands of rotations sometimes they flick off or warp out. more hitch hikers go to the emergency room each year from loose wheel weights flying off and striking them, than dog bites, or road side accidents. So it pays to be cautious !

but yeah put that air back in, lots of people hit the dragways and let the air out of their tires and then drive around for miles not remembering to fill them back up.

honestly exit10 clean your throttle body then change your oil, its not necessary to change tranny oil less the every 30k miles. you will feel a difference when you clean the tb though. it costs like what 3 dollars for the can?

It would help that if you had wheels and tires on your car before you went down there, it would make putting air in your tires a very easy task.

You must test out the oil to see if its purified. The best method is "the doing donuts and hitting into the sidewalk" method. That should be followed by about 15 threads. :

don't use carb cleaner dork, it will eat away at your valve clearance and your pushrods won't be able to push your rockers, seriously though, don't use carb cleaner.
