I've got a better suggestion which is lots cheaper. Get a scrap front suspension and fit it in place of the rear, with the steering wheel in the trunk. Put the car in reverse and sit in the trunk to steer.
Or . . . you could fit a second engine in the trunk as well, then you'd have AWD.
RWD SUCKS! When Alec Issigonis invented the Mini he knew what he was doing. It ran rings around any RWD car, even on its 10" wheels and rubber suspension.

I already hooked him up with the name and contact info to have it done!

look just go buy a 350z and be happy forever with your firewall intact and yea yea its ALOT more money but you'll also be happy ALOT for a long time... Plus a 350z is tuned for RWD and runs it quite nicely, your other options are of course 240's, a G35 or if your absolutley insane and have a lot of money a skyline but I dont think thats worth it really. anyways later

my neighbor has a '97 J30 and I can run all over that thing but its an auto so my argument is already contradictory in nature. But these guys have a point, but once again dude the J30 was more than the 300zx new so what is really the right answer here, simply put there isn't one. So as arnold might say "shut up with RWD maxima."
have fun and just drive man

You'll see me at drift mania with a huge MAXIMA.ORG decal on my rear windsheild and a big smiley face next to it. It would drive the way it's meant to feel. I love rear wheel drive cars and always wished the max was.
For differences between a front wheel and a rear wheel drive is like night and day. The car would feel more balanced. Maybe a slight loss in power due to the differential, but with 2 turbos or even just one, who the hell cares. You have a forced induction, rear wheel drive Maxima. Maybe if it works, they can make a kit for it. The 4th and 5th gen max's should be the same underneath, so it would probably work on both if it works on one. I promise if this would work out, you guys will hear about it.
