I know the 1990-1994 Cefiros had a RB20DET, don't think they had the RB30 though...

Either you boost your vq30 or swap a vq35, or both. I don't understand why people repeatedly insist on trying to make their life so hard with swap ideas that make your brain want to implode. The VQs30/35 are great engines, and a built, turboed VQ35 will put down absolutely ridiculous power levels for less money, so why bother complicated things when there is no need to?
Just wait till Mardi's car is running... you will believe a Maxima can run 10's

All out power, the RB will eat the VQ hands down, for practical uses, the RB gets pwn3d.

The most ive ever heard of a RB26DET putting down in a race situation is 1300ish RWHP (HKS 180sx drag car). The VQ35DE used in the 350z drag car puts down the same, and its still in early stages of development. Were talking about race motors, they get rebuilt ever couple of passes so streetability is shot. Out of the box the RB is a much better platform for power, but what I said was built, not stock.

I heard the VQ35's aluminum block can supposedly withstand 2000 HP. Stock internals around 500 HP (the rods, at least).
But yeah it's a relatively new motor, so I would wait a awhile before stating what it can and can't do.
One thing is for sure though, both motors can put down far more power than it's possible to use in a FWD maxima, and since the VQ30/35 way is far easier in a max, there's no reason to use anything but a VQ.

Instead of going in to 
land, let's stay on topic and simply put, as best as can be stated in the words h2kSPiG
Swappping anything but a VQ in a maxima is stupid and not worth your time or moeny.

So the VQ35 with almost 1 liter more displacement makes the same horsepower yet you think it's better? That car has been in development for some time already.
This car makes much more than 1350 ALL WHP http://www.exvitermini.com.

), why not use a VQ?

I mean, except for the fact that you do not acknowledge the RB series's ultimate dominance and lordship over all things ever seen or imagined, to which the VQ plays an important but ultimately secondary "right-hand-man" role. That is understandable, as most mortals never even dream of such glory and power.
But yes, 1000hp + FWD is a recipe for disaster. I don't think anyone even makes a diff strong enough to take that.

Doing this makes the engine probably the worlds strongest production based V6 engine.
