also, the S14 is RWD. the Maxima is FWD. the RB's and the SR's, as far as i know, cannot be "sidewinded" and made to be FWD. whereas the VG30DET can be made to be transverse mounted if converting your 3rd gen to a turbo using the older 300zx engine. you must reuse the intake manifold and the heads of the VG30E, but you will use the exhaust manifolds and short block of the VG30DET. and you will need time and money to make the turbo plumbing and wiring and such functional. "project car."

what i have done to my 3rd gen so far is added a Cattman (Place Racing) CAI, y-pipe, b-pipe, hi-flow cat, and Magnaflow muffler -- the entire exhaust has been replaced with hi-flow components. the sound is awesome, by the way. very throaty and loud on acceleration. the noise is actually pleasant to me.

i have just ordered today, actually, lowering springs, camber plates, and new struts and a Stillen front strut tower brace. i also have Skyline r32 GTS-t wheels (the bronze 16 X 6.5 stockies) for it. and i have an r32 Skyline steering wheel. i have yet to install these things. the car will begin looking very "Cefiro-like" very soon.
