Hello im new to the forums
Hey my name is Richard im new to the forums... I got a 95 Maxima stock vq30de W/ CAI... 2.25" drop in front and 2" drop on the rear new struts, springs, control arms, sway bar links ball joints, tie rods... basically the whole suspension is done... but what I really wanna do is a vq35de swap I kno theres probably a forum out there already but like I said im new I don't really kno how to search them... so my questions are.
does the vq30de tranny bolt right on?
are the motor mounts the same?
is it worth it?( driver preference) some people like the 3.0 better then 3.5

Only do the 3.5 swap if you have a second car to use while you get the timing and such done..
Full 3.5 swap is better than the 3.5 with 3.0 timing, but a lot more involved as far as more parts needed~basically a donor 02-03 maxima.
Don't get in over your head.
The mod bug bites hard.
Before you do any power upgrade, check for major rust..mostly the lower radiator support mount. If it needs replaced, OEM only.
