    While its on my mind. Has anyone removed the z31 plentum and relocated the throttle body too the front? Or basically thatd be the same as a maxima?

    There has been a couple people cut the neck off and weld on the other side. Honestly your not really gaining anything with relocating the turbo other than the "cool" factor and different intake plumbing. I'd put that time and money into getting thE rest of the parts or car done. I mean, some of the fastest and most powerful Z31s used the stock location.

    Check my build thread, I did the forward facing throttle body. It's a ton of work btw, but I can tell that the thing flows better since car no longer falls on it's face above 5k rpm
