Yes I got one in mine, but you have to convert it to RWD first.

It should vertically bolt up to stock mouting locations if you use the Nismo headers and exhaust hangers. The intake should correct any boost miscalculations. Do it, its really not that hard at all. Make sure you put spacers between the intake manifold gaskets to increase the bore though, otherwise the hood won't clear.

We've all heard it a million times and yeah hes a newb and blah blah, ahem (inset super flaming and thread chatrooms here), but its only fair to share..
It a theory among quite a few Nissan enthusiasts that the 4th Gens chassis was designed to be able to harness a RWD OR FWD drivetrain initially. But, due to cost saving measures and some other really stupid sh1te, FWD was once again adopted in lieu of RWD and IRS was also dropped and alas here we are today with that car. But who knows, sometimes I wonder about the huge center tunnel that runs through my car, but then the I'll just buy a G35 or 350z idea kicks in and slaps me.
Not to mention the thousands and thousands of $$ involved into getting it to run right, weight dist. and a whole slew of other things. All of that when you couldve done with something much easier and much better.

oh and this:
3:27am EST FTL..

its totally possible. in fact stillen just came up with a conversion kit that completely transfers the maxima to full time AWD so you can just swap that RB26 right in. call them up and ask for part #z10938234 make sure u talk to kenny

you nailed it right on the head, but you left out the flux capacitor to get it up to 88 mph.

Granted, it still looks pretty cool for a 15 second job

Does Napa have that belt? What's the part number on it... I can't find one at AutoZone or Advanced Auto.

Well, you ricers go ahead with your poser Skyline engine. It wont matter cause I've already swapped in a 454cui bigblock in my 89 Max. Not only that but it's blown with nitrous and pushes at least a grand to the REAR wheels. Chevy's new V-TAK(Variable timing alternating Krantransfusionor) system was also installed. Now I own the streets. Cubic Inches> Four Banger
