Is there any truth to this?
Alright Max sages, I know you are never supposed to believe the intarwebz, but I found this bit of info on wikipedia that I found odd about our 5th gens (or at least the 2000 Maxima)...
Does this mean that the exhaust system is derived from the GT-R, or Nissan gave us the R34 chassis and screwed us out of the RB?
The 2000 Maxima (designated A33) which shares a chassis found surprisingly on the Nissan Skyline BNR34 the 4-door model which the Exhaust system was derived from the GT-R.

sort of...the chassis is like the cefiro, same with our engine...we dont have the turbo like the early versions of the cefiros do though...the cefiro in japan is essentially a 4door skyline

you would need a whole new rear end, new DRIVETRAIN, engine, ecu, and the fab work would cost tens of thousamds of dollars. It would not be cost effective at all.
You could buy a used 350z, and competley build it with 1000whp and still have spent less money than some idiot trying to fit an rb in a maxima.

BTW, these questions arose from reading that article. I am in no way a ricer. I just was wondering since wikipedia made it seem like the only difference was the engine/drivetrain. I like the VQ30 and think it is a nice little piece of work. I plan on making my car a sleeper...

I just leave the Max alone as it is. Just save enough money to buy a GT-R. I plan to get mine, a year after the release, since no way I'm gonna buy it when hit the states cuz it's too much money and from what I got from my source, that Nissan will only offer a one year warranty on first model year, due to the implication that People will buy it and turn it around and sell it on a black market for more money, thus voiding warranty. So Nissan will have the full warranty on the second year model. as the usual 3yr and 5yr/60k
