Nissan could. They could use the maxima body with a RWD tube framed chassis. But Nissan wouldn't use the V6. They would naturally use the VK45 V8. But they would have to de-engineer the engine to use pushrods and 2 valve heads. Toyota I believe is entering NASCAR. But the build a new pushrod V8 from the ground up. NOT cheap to do. Nissan doesn't have the budget to do this. Toyota does.

Wha?? It would probably take over $20 mill just to develope the prototype for the engine.

Nissan "might" be on track for a recovery with the recent successes of the Infiniti G series line but make no mistake, Nissan was in DIRE straits VERY recently. Toyota makes Nissan look like CHUMP change. BOEING is starting to use Toyota's manufacturing theories on logicistics etc.... wow

There was a lot of talk about this kit on the 350Z boards. The stock Z engine does not take well to boost, and we finally had a Greddy twin turbo car blow up. This may be the safest way to go. I remember someone mentioning that with this kit you could actually raise the rev limiter safely because of the strength of the components, I'm looking forward to seeing the results of this kit in NA form.
