Ohh Nissan Great ones, I have a 91 Q45 the motor and trans are great but the body is crap. I found a Emmaculate 90 q45 with bad motor. Can I swap??? As in pull the guts(motor and trans ) out the 91 and slide into the 1990????? Sure looks the same to me just wanted to make sure.

Thanks a zillion

The front speakers on the 90 aren't compatible with the 91 ( ) but other than that you're good to go. 90=91=92=93, 94=95, 96 is a beast of its own. Good luck.

Don't forget to put updated guides in your 91 donor engine while you have it out!

Othewise, yeah... they are basically the same. A few rolling changes - but nothing that would slow you down on a swap.

cool, and don't forget the guides! (underplenum hoses too along with injectors if needed... and replace those knock sensors at the same time)
