2003 Nissan Maxima Engine Swap
Can I put a 04 VQ35 in my 03 ?? What are the main differences between the 03 and 04 if any ? I have a 6 spd transmission which I'm keeping in the car, just looking at swapping out, but need to know everything will match up good. Thanks for any help.

just keep your upper intake manifold and exhaust . It should be a direct bolt in from there.

Thanks guy's, I checked and intake manifold and fuel injectors is all that should be changed. Wondering if the motor mounts will be the same ?

You guys completely forgot about the EGR system. IIRC, the 02-03's have an internal EGR system as opposed to the 04+'s... The 04's have an electrically powered EGR system.
