Nissan Maxima Turbo Project!
Nissan Maxima Turbo
Nissan Motorsport asked us to prototype a car for Nissan Product Development, of course we obliged. They had a Maxima and wanted us to install a 300ZX turbo engine for product evaluation. It was a nice easy job- since they parked a 300ZX with it for parts. In any conversion chasing parts is the hardest thing to do. There were a lot of clearance problems and we had to use a Japanese home market manifold to make everything fit. For sometime the Director of Motorsports (Nissan) used the vehicle. Hopped up with the usual array of HKS gadgets- the car was really a fast cruiser. Since the statute of limitations has expired- now it can be told- there was a big problem under hard starts the car would pull hard to one side- the result of unequal driveshafts! No, not a good product combination.
