well they are the same car but the cefiro is rwd its the jdm maxima i think but this max im getting doesnt handle like a fwd though the guy put a really big sway bar on the back and front and rear strut tower bars its really rigid and only like 75,000 miles too for 1300 bucks i might get it this week if i can
heres a page from i think a aussie that has some facts on it so i can get a full awd system but its gonna be pretty expensivehttp://www.meggala.com/1cefiro/cefiropage.htmlLast edited by mudduck3006; 05-09-2004, 05:52 PM.

There is supposedly some guy who has a VG30DETT and RWD Max, but I haven't seen it - try searching google or cardomain.
I've heard, but not seen, that there was a year range in the early 90's that had a VG30 mounted longitudinally with FWD. If this is the case you could build yourself a transmission tunnel and transplant a Z trans, rear end and suspension and you'd be there.
Drivetrain conversions are hard, but not impossible, and require more work and time than money.
AWD CRX to come late summer '04!

Bunch of misinformation on this thread...
The last of the FR Cefiro was the A31 Chassis. That ended in 1993.
In 1994, the A32 chassis was debut. But it became a FF chassis. This was sold in the US as the Maxima in 1995. It was still call a Nissan Cefiro in Japan, but only in name.
What makes it confusing is that around the time of the A31 Cefiro, US has it's 3rd generation Maxima. The chassis code is actually J30 believe or not. (Nothing to do with the Infiniti J30 which uses the Y32 chassis).
So, basically, the Cefiro got axed. Turned into a FF passenger car.
So, to answer your question, no.
But if you really want a FR Maxima, get a 1984... These are L25 powered FR Maxima. There are plenty of power stuff for the L-series engine. Heck, with the right resources, you can even drop in the RB26DETT. There's plenty of room.
And for the record, there are no longitude mounted engine in any Maxima after 1985. All are FF configuration.
