It's possible, but this car wasn't made for a dual exhaust, so it will need to be custom and the piping is gonna be sitting pretty low on the driver side I would imagine.

yea the driver side has the evap thing where the muffler would go.

hey guys I was going to go turbo but decided to do a vq sqap instead. Does anyone know a websitE where I can actually order a engine and all the parts I will need to do the swap. I had a website for a guy who didi the swaps but lost his info

engine...just find a good one at a junk yard, not sure if car-part.com has some or not but check it out.
there are pleanty of threads out there that has all the parts you need (look in the vq section)

now im not really trying to start anything over here but i think we all know that with the same driver there is no way a swapped spec will stay with a gt3rs. the only thing that video proves is that your a better driver than the other guy.

Im not sure how well I would drive with Joe up my ass for all those laps

im surprised you would even be able to drive with somebody up your ass, thats gotta be uncomfortable.

Im definatly thinking about doing this if my QR blows up. Just because its the logical choice....
Does it matter what Vq you go with? Cause i can pick up an VQ out of an 08 or newer maxima(290hp) for $1375 with 60,000mi on it.

If you choose that motor your going into uncharted territory travis uses an 04-08 motor in his swaps, so the wiring would be much different with thay when being said i know he planned on doing a 7th gen swap so you may wana try and get ahold of him ...good luck

Yea the enigine quote i got from my supplyer at work was for an 08 Maxima. But yes i will definatly call travis if i end up doing this.
