i was looking on ebay and found an r32 engine..and was WONDERING IF i bought it...can i swap my 2.5 and mke it have a skyline engine..remember guys im just WONDERING!!!

[Chinaman]

the r32 engine wont fit the ac unless you do alot of fab work and convert the car to a rear wheel drive

[mcheddadi]

yes you can. you need lots of tools and FSM for the motor and the altima coupe.

you will need to see a specialised company to make the nececary adjustments for ecu if you'd like to keep your gizmos in the car working with the new engine and you'll have to get a new transmission plus you'd have to do some custom work to make it fit the FF layout

[A_C_Fanatic]

sooooo...meaning i probably need 3,000 for the engine (the one on ebay)...and then alot more to get the job done?

[ESP]

About 10k just for the RWD conversion alone (from what I've heard)...

...but hey, with enough $$$ you can do anything you damn well please.

10k sounds a bit crazy. i'm no expert but that sounds waaaaay more then it should cost. i mean, i know a lot will go into it but how much would it really cost for a Murano rear end and how much would it really cost for that extra fabrication (shouldn't even be much custom fabrication cuz they're built on the same platform). mehdi, got any insight here, any rough price estimates since you were looking at doing this in the future?

for a murano it would cost the price of the rear end, drive shaft etc. Id say max 4000$ then mounting it all on the car could take a while and then making the adapter plates and mounting points and brakets and clearing space ans stuff could be expensife if you don't have the tools. I'd say from free to the price of buying the tools or renting them. then having the ecu programmed to work with the awd module could be from 800$ to 2000$. so I'd say from 5000$ to 7000$ would be a good estimate.

you might as well sell your altima and buy a g35 if you plan on doing all that work

[cspear]

Nice Dream....The coffee is ready !!

[A_C_Fanatic]

true true...i might as well get a g35...i was actually talking to my father bout that.selling the A/C and getting a used one...(sorry guys payments on the car a lil to high for my pocket.) but the thing about getting a used g35..EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER HAS ONE!..

WHY? WHY would you put a Titan motor??? when you can just put the new V8 FX motor with what 370 hp? 380 hp?

[uh-oh_8_coupe]

guess i dont know my suvs and trucks

[Hussain]

wow i just looked it up and it's actually 390 HP! i thought 390 but it sounded too high lol thats a lot of power, wonder if they're going to put that motor in the new Titans to compete with the tundra's 380 HP

[uh-oh_8_coupe]

ha so mine was better!!! jk

[marlin29311]

LS7 swap anyone?
