Nissan Maxima Turbo
Nissan Motorsport asked us to
prototype a car for Nissan Product Development, of course we obliged.
They had a Maxima and wanted us to install a 300ZX turbo engine for product
evaluation. It was a nice easy
job- since they parked a 300ZX with it for parts.
In any conversion chasing parts is the hardest thing to do.
There were a lot of clearance problems and we had to use a Japanese home
market manifold to make everything fit.
For sometime the Director of Motorsports (Nissan) used the vehicle.
Hopped up with the usual array of HKS gadgets- the car was really a fast
cruiser. Since the statute of limitations
has expired- now it can be told- there was a big problem under hard starts the
car would pull hard to one side- the result of unequal driveshafts!
No, not a good product combination.
