Oh so you want INFINITI style??? eh?

No but when someone doesn't agree with something they dont have to flame the person they could simply say "I dont agree here is why..." and not go out and put rude smilies, call them stupid, or other things. It's just like ricers (I hate the word rice but since most of you like it I will use it) go out and flame cars they think they could beat with out saying how they are going to do that. "Yeah I see your corvette there but you are a total ****ing idiot if you think your stupid a** is going to beat my civic. My car is god you stupid b****." I know you guys aren't as rude but that is what it comes out sounding like.

I hate how people try to relieve stress by ****ing swearing and knowing full well that this board is rated PG. So fake the words so we can understand what the he!l you are talking about. STOP WHOREING... <---there is your angry smiley.

I think we all know some examples of people who have ideas, but either never put them into effect, or, they go ahead and pursue them regardless of cost. Say a couple bought a small house for 250,000. Then they go ahead and spend 100,000 in improvements and expansion. When they go to sell the home, it's worth 265,000 to 280,000. They yell and scream WTF is going on we spent 100k on improvements. Is it cost effective? Not really. But they do have the house of their dreams, just can't resell it (true couple).

Anyone who has money to burn and time, they could swap out the motor. But what would be the purpose or accomplishment in doing so? One of granpas friends put a Mustang 5.0 litre into his Volvo 240, purchased a kit. Now he has a much more problematic car than if he had popped another 4-cyl motor into it.

So if that's your dream car, a 4th gen with a 2k2 motor in it, go for it. But surely a person has more imagination than that.

I'm in full support of any enthusiasm for the 3.5 swap. it may not have been done yet, but somebody will. Props to anybody that will try.

geez....this whole thread..... ..id like to see it done..and i love the thinking...foreward thinkers=progress. Like it is in the car industry..anything can be done...its just a matter of money. Ive seen pics of cars in japan...Toyota supra with a Rb26skyline motor stuffed in it. Nissan silvia with a Supra 3.0 Inline 6 motor stuffed in it. Also the infamous IS430SC...yep..bascially a IS300...with the 4.3L v-8 SUpercharged in that little IS300 body. Now...why would you want a Skyline motor in a supra?...or a Supra motor in a Silvia (240)...its all about the status...ideal or not...it dosent matter..some people just want it done! stupid idea...mabey...then again the tuners who stuffed a 4.3L lexus V8 thats supercharged into a IS300...probably started out just like this guy...posted a issue that seemed un-resonable and got flamed to hell. But there are the people who are all talk. only time will tell...and we'll see whos laffing in 2 years. Who knows...he might fit a skyline motor in his 4th gen maxima in the next 2 years. Let him and his ideas be...let him use search..let him ask questions.

why not make that your sig with the a header saying ontop "if my post offends you, then please read the following"

i too think a 3.5 swap is not the best option.. .if i was stuck in your shoes i'de take that money, put use it as a down payment and roll away in a faster brand new car without getting your fingers dirty.. doinga 3.5 swap will also throw away your idea of getting a blower.. there is not a kit on the market right now that is a direct bolt on for the 2k2 max.

Interesting post, I can only imagine that the difference being that these are all "somewhat" exotic cars, all fairly high end in their platforms... and if they are in Japan, they probably all have less than 30k miles on them when the swaps are being done. This is a 95 Maxima GXE with a 150k miles. I too wouild find it interesting if people did start doing these swaps... why not?... we do all kinds of other crazy stuff to our cars.
