Found this in some old email notes - thanks to Steve Golik!

 

 

> According to my local Z car expert, the '77-'84 810/Maxima transmissions are interchangeable with the Z cars. He has done this swap before as he has several 810/Maxima's in his field (along with his 300+ Z cars).

>

> One thing I noticed about the 810/Maxima tranny is that the filler plug is on the left side of the transmission, opposite to the Z car tranny. But this doesn't seem to present any problems when changing fluid with the transmission already in the car.

> The Nissan truck transmission (and 200SX) transmission also share this "left side" filler plug.
