sure you can, you just need a LOT of money for a LOT of custom stuff, like longer front end, fabricate the back so you can put a rearend since the car is FWD(unless you take out the driveshaft and just use the front transfer case, not sure if that can be done), and you need to do a lot of other custom things that'll make the car not streetable.

i mean, well you can do anyfin with $$ right?

No. (but I would be willing to do it for you for 1 million dollars, because anything can be done if you have enough money)

You need a RWD chassis, and the maxima is FWD. My advice to you is to do a lot of research before you every post a question on a forum.
