just puechased my 1st max. 1991 SE. 2nd Nissan since my old 1984 tricked out mini truck(Nap Z).
Clean interior,paint & body is fair,some minor dents.dings. the engine runs great (122k) Im surprised how responsive this sohc 3.0 v6 is. It skoots! . I plan to paint it the same oem color (silver/charcol grey). And plan to put some better rims & tires.

Is it fairly easy to perform a basic tune up(plugs, cap, rotor) on the 3.0 sohc v6?
Whats the average cost to replace the the timing belt @ a local garage?

Thanks, Glad to be here!

plugs cap wires etc are pretty easy, timing belt is a lil trickier. dunno how much it would cost to do. i think its about 4 hrs labor plus parts. avg labor is 40-80 bucks/. good luck

 

Does the 91 SE have a belt or a chain? I know they go both ways.

 

it has a belt. The 92-94 SE which has the VE30DE dual overhead cam motor has chains all other 3rd gens have a belt (VG30E).

 

Right, I know the engine codes and stuff, hell I can tell you if a max is a VG or VE while passing one on the highway, I just wasn't sure which had the chaing and which had the belts.

 

good luck man thats real nice timing belt gonna cost like 250 i think a good tune up cost like 300 its all worth it though
