Wow, you really want to do this the hard way, don't you?
If you're worried about having a high-mileage motor, get another VQ. YOU can either get a newer VQ30, or go for something else, like...
A VQ35DE block. I've heard of them going for as little as $400. Get one of those, and you can build the motor up. Lower the compression, destroke the motor(use your VQ30's crank to bring the motor to a revvier 3.2L), and add stronger rods if you can find them.
Then you can still add a turbo to the VQ35 once you get it installed. There are VQ35-powered Altimas making lots of power on mild boost and stock internals, and with a built motor, you'll be able to see
at least 500hp, possibly at the wheels, too.
You may also be able to use the 6-speed from the 02-up Maxima, as well.
Using a VQ35DE will still be plenty different, and still cost a pretty good amount of money, since you seem so eager to spend it.hehe
The other problem with using an RB is that you'll run into emissions issues...that is, once you fit the motor into the engine bay.

*vquick nice quote is that japanese? i think u spelled it wrong but it resembles "kakkoii" which means cool

The quote is from a racing story I've written. The word is "kouki," which roughly means "later" in Japanese, referring to the body style of a car. For example, your '97 Maxima and my '99 would be kouki 4th gen Maximas, since a refresh of the bodystyle was done in '97. The '95 and '96 Maximas would be called the "zenki," or "earlier," since they were the first version. For the few cars that have been around long enough, there is also the term "chuki," which means something like "middle"...I think.
