you are gna need a new transmission for starters, and keep the ecu of the maxima because you'll have to hybrid link em, or just remap everything/just link the 30'. then you need new motor mounts and links for the Ka24de to the ve30 because the mount points are not the same. the biggest thing is the transmission imo. but as far as a quick swap- its not as "quick" as you might think. I would just wait till ur KA dies- which... is prob around 180k miles lol- gl w/ that :P that one piece iron block of an engine is hardcore durable lol

in all honesty- ur gna be best to either make your own, have a shop do it, or direct bolt it to the frame so u get full traction. but beware of axle jerking. Best option prob is just check some salvage yards... and do sum cross referencing. Im so out of KA info cus Ive been into the QR lately so forgive me if my knowledge is rusty- but i hope you the best
