Should bolt right up, except the year changes to the Nissan president were far different from the Infiniti Q45.

In Japan there is no 1990-1993 and 1994-1996 Nissan President. They changed a little differently from what I have read. I am not sure what year the Nissan President VH45DE will match your car.

Check the Crank Angle Sensor, Injectors and Power Transistor for starters because those changed from 1990-1993 and 1994-1996.

basically the 90-93 and 94-96 engines are a little different... The ECUs and everything work together, however you must splice together the CAS harness if your putting an older model engine into your 95...

also, on really late 95s they went to many of the OBDII style connectors on stuff.... why are you looking at doing the swap?

94 and early 95 were the same, its the really late 95 or 96 you cant use...

BTW be sure you either have them take a picture of the valve cover off or go and inspect it yourself. just because they advertise 60k miles, does not mean its got 60k miles worth of wear. my point is that 60k of stop and go japan driving is probably about the same as 150k of mixed US driving.

Except while under the 60k warranty the Japanese change their oil at dealers every 90 days!
