Rebuilding Engine
Just wanted to get some of your opinions. Im looking into buying a used block and heads out of a junkyard, and going to rebuild them. Should I use stock Nissan parts or should i use an aftermarket performance kit? Hey and if you guys have any suggestions throw them in.

Maybe the guys with a 95 might be of more help. I know OBD-II came out for 96 vehicles. Maybe the 95 Maxima had OBD-II already.

All 4-gens are obdII Law mandated that all makers had to use obdII in 96. But Nissan complied with the law back in 95 so they wouldn't have to redo all the electronics one year after introducing a brand new maxima and engine
