To complete a rear disk swap, You will need to find a junkyard SE 3rd gen maxima and remove the entire rear wheel/strut housing assemblies from the car. The disk brake assemblies will not simply transfer over to your drum strut/wheel assembly.
You will also need to remove the entire emergency brake cable assembly from the donor disk brake car, the brake cables from a drum brake system will not mount up to the disk brake calipers.
In summary...lots of work to convert...less work to simply replace the worn parts on your drum system..
