Make a Q45 engine fit a Maxima transaxle

[Audi_O_Phile]

Hello there, I am in search of a person who knows a lot about Nissansand Infinitis, specifically, whether the 5 speed transaxle from a 89-94Maxima SE can be mounted to a motor from a 90-96 Q45, and if so, whatsort of problems I might run into. Is there anyone that you could point me to who might be able to help me with this? My intention is to midengine a smaller car for a competition later this year, and a friend suggested trying this as a powerplant and drivetrain. The plan would be to purchase a wrecked Q45 I have already spotted, and source the transaxle and front suspension from a wrecking yard to graft into the back seat of another car.

Yes, I already know I am crazy, but the process of putting a Chevy 305 with a Camaro 5 speed and front and rear suspension from a 240sx (all going into my Honda hatchback) together is going so well, I want to build another!

welcome to NICO audi o phile...

Anyway, it wont bolt without an adapter plate, however i would bet that the flywheels are the same and you could use the maxima TC or clutch... Im not sure if the front drive VG stuff is different from rear drive VG stuff, becaues a lot of the rear drive VG stuff that you would be concerned about fits the VH45.
