Let me get this right, you want to do something that hasn't been really done much and get it done "quick before college"?

Dude, save your money for books.

What does your 99 altima need a VG30DE for? There are about a billion better things I can think of for you to spend your money on.

You're on a college budget, what do you need "1 bad altima" for? You're better off with "1 reliable altima".

Just wanted to point out that the Max SE would have had a VE30DE, not a VG30DE. I noticed you got that right in another thread on the subject, but figured I'd point it out for everyone else reading the thread.

Max had VG30E (SOHC), Z and J got the VG30DE.Max SE had the VE30DE, which is basically a compact redesign of the VG30DE designed specifically to fit in the Maxima's compact engine bay. The VE was only used for 4 years in that one trim level of the one model...nowhere else.
