Well I've had my Maxima for 9 years now, and she is getting up there in age. 1991 - 195K when the odometer broke. The tranny is only about 5 years old, and the body is still clean. I am wondering about the age old question of converting to a 300zx engine. I've reached a point where I don't want to part with the car, but I want to know what I can pack under the hood. The other option I am wondering about is just changing it over to the DOHC Maxima engine. I'm pretty sure this would be easier (that is if the other is even possible). However, does it still make an extensive conversion i.e. wiring harness, computer, hoses/lines? Just wondering. If these are not options I may just trash the thing. However, I'd hate to do that because it has so much history for my family and I. -Thank you
