Why would you go with the V6 out of the Nissan Maxima? They are gutless for the size of car they are lugging, they are only automatic (correct me if im wrong), and they are only FRONT
WHEEL DRIVE.
Mind you a mate of mine just got a drive in one and said it went sweet, but hey hes used to a Toyota Hilux four pot deisel!
But what I am saying is if guys in Japan can get bloody massive power out of SR's why bother with a V6. Like the other dude said, your 1200 will handle like a truck! Personally I
couldnt cope with heavy steering. I would love fanging around in a good handling car WITH bulk horse power!
But if you can get the RWD V6 and you want to be different then hey, go for it!
Good Luck

Simon

Actually, the Maxima does come with a manual trans. But yes, they are front wheel drive but I have done in-depth studying of these engines and with a Nissan Pathfinder bellhousing, the
engine CAN be mounted north-south. Mechanically, a Pathfinder is identical to the ZXTT 5-speed. As for why I would choose this engine: I love the smooth, linear power delivery of the VQ30,
I'm not interested in top-end power but substantial low-end torque. For a V6, the VQ30 gets pretty good gas mileage also. Another thing is, my brother-in-law rebuilds transmissions and has a
mint-condition 300Z transmission sitting in his shop. The only thing that's motivating me to put in the V6 is basically at this point, it's very economical as I'd only have to buy the VQ
engine and I've worked with these engines before. It seems that putting in the VQ35 would actually be a better idea, but I'm not very familiar with that powerplant. But i'll see. If i were
to go with any turbo motor, it'd be the RB26DETT, now that's some serious power...

Interesting...I also like teh CA18 and the SR20 because they are so darn tough and can handle infinite boost, but I really want to go with a N/A approach. I'm probably ruling out the
VH45DE because it's just so darn big. But as I said before, 300ZXTT manual trans have been mated to these engines with no prob. About the VQ35DE that's a very interesting proposition: does
it come with a manual trans though? Also, is it a bit heavier than the VQ30DE? I prefer the V6's over turbocharged 4 cylinders because of the immediate power and torque they offer. Heck,
maybe I'd even go with a turbocharged V6, =). I'll have to see about it. ANother question though, has anyone ever dabbled with the suspension of the 1200? I hate live axles...

I once had a head bolt break on an Isuzu engine. Even after removing all the other head bolts, the head would not lift up over the broken bolt. I was able to lift it up about a centimeter
and cut the bolt (next to the block) with a hacksaw. Then it was just a question of getting the bolt out of the block, which was actually quite easy by grabbing the stub with Vise-Grips.
Due to corrosion, the bolt was stuck in the head and had to be driven out.

On hooking up the electronic distributor; you CAN NOT use the original coil with the external resistor. You have to use an internal resistor coil. There are two wires that go to the coil
and the resistor in the wiring harness. One is used to fire the coil when the ignition switch is in the START position, the other is used when the switch is in the RUN or ON position and
it goes to the resistor. Connect these two wires together and put them onto the + side of the coil. Then run a wire from the + coil to the electronic distributor and another wire from the
- side of the coil to the other wire to the distributor and it should work. You may have a bit of problem determining which wire goes to the + and - sides to the distributor. Email me and
I can email you a wiring diagram, just let me know which year you have and if it is an aotumatic or stick shift. I do not have a wiring diagram for the electronic distributor.

Does anyone have an extra set of front bumper brackets for a 71-72? I have a 73 sedan with the brackets that put the bumper away from the body. Please let me
know. -Ed
