First off, your avatar made me chuckle, ok, laugh pretty hystarically...
as for your car, get rid of the gas thats in it. Bad gas is no fun for the car. Basic tune up (fluid change, filter change, maybe plugs and wires). Tires would definitely be on my list due to flat spots from sitting and possible rotting. That route, Nexxens are pretty in-expensive good tires, Fuzions are good too, you don't need anything super grippy, i say as long as its a directional tire w/ good tread wear you should be fine.
As far as swapping is concerned, im not a front wheel drive kinda guy, but I would assume you would be looking at putting a VQ35DE from a newer maxima in it. I have no idea what kind of labor is involved on a 5-speed swap here, but hopefully some one else will chime in.
