i need some help i am gonna buy a Pathfinder cause i wana go offroading with my bro and a few of my buddies but the pathfinder i am getting has a high mileage engine around the 435k mark. i was wondering if i couold fit a RB25DET in it or a VG30DETT but i would like the skyline engine because of the awd transmission it has already unlike the 300zx engine.

Uhh RB25DET uses a RWD transmission. RB26DETT uses the AWD tranny.

But yeah, no real point in swapping those engines in.
