No chance, as Altima AWD uses a 4 cylinder powerplant, and the I-4 CVT is not compatable with the V-6.

Plus, a host of other sensors that control the AWD.

As Steven Tyler said, "Dream on".

This would be an interesting project and like most, a money-eating monster. Still though if you have access to this type of fabrication skill it probably could be done. My vote is that it's the wrong car to do.
Wiring alone would be a nightmare as Rick Smith points out. The Maxima is great as an FWD vehicle. Best of luck with whatever you decide.

I am 6.4 tall and I don't have that much space almost in an infiniti and yes of course I would have liked that modern q50 red sport that has 400 hp

KaleCoAuto used to sell an AWD kit. Unfortunately I can't find it for sale anymore. You can get one if these.
