Yes, you can do an engine swap between a 6th generation 2004 Nissan Maxima and a 7th generation 2012 Nissan Maxima,
I HOPE THAT MY ANSWER is helpful and not too late

It's a bad idea. A 6th gen engine has oil consumption problems and timing chain issues.

sadly that is not helpful because it wont work.

cam trigger wheels are wrong and pinned wrong. youll have to do the opposite of the 7th to 5th gen swap. theres no EVT control so that will **** off the 7th gen ECM even if you could get past the trigger wheel issue.
