do all maxima's have v6 engines and what model has the digital gauges
and the Heads up display?

 

All have V6's the 92-94 SE's have a dohc engine with 190 HP rather than the GXEs and the 89-91 SE's which have an SOHC engine with 160 HP.

I believe only the 89 had the digital cluster. All I know is that the newer ones don't have digital unless you convert them.

 

yes, all 3rd gens have a V6 3.0L engine
89-94GXE and 89-91SE have VG30E with 160hp
92-94SE have VE30DE with 190hp

early (89-91) GXEs with the digital gauge option had the heads up display (US models)

 

yeah in march i'm picking up and 89 max with 230,000 something miles on it for 300 bills and I was just curious

 

230K for 300 bucks ? hey not bad !

 

yeah its pretty mint w/ beige pearl paint and blue cloth interior,
I love the look of the car but I dont know a damn thing about maximas
I drive a dodge neon=0(

 

We're all sorry about the Neon, but welcome to the world of 4DSC.

 

Hey thanks I appreciate it, by the way what is a VG engine?

 

89-91 SE and 89-94 GXE have VG30E SOHC engine generating 160 hp and 182 ft lbs of torque.

92-94 SE have VE30DE DOHC engine generating 190 hp and 190 ft lbs of torque.

Model Comparison

 

okay cool thanks

 

Hey ,would it be hard to put 18" nissan 350z wheels on my 89'

 

Actually only the 89-90 GXE's with the electronic package had the digital dash with HUD, in 91 they dropped it and didnt even offer automatic climate control that year.

 

when I get my max, how will I know which model i have,
will it state it on the rear of the car?

Hey thanks that helped alot, I have the 5 speed w/ spoiler

 

I have the rare Nismo version. VK45 V8.

 

Hey Jeff. Nice sig. Do you use the swing to jump right into the car so you don't get dirt on the carpet?

 

d*mn i forgot about that nismo version. it must be nice to have that infinity V8. i wonder if i can do the swap ahahah

 

well ive got the even more rare VK45-T turbo v-8 -lotza horse....j/k

 

do you have the matching fuzzy dice? It is an automatic 55 hp gain!

 

what nobody's bored theirs yet?
better hurry up and do so you're losing the CC race

 

theres an idea ill bore ve and cut down the vk45 crank to fit. In the end i calculate to have a 5.0 maxima

 

VE50DETT

thad be killer dude

 

guess you will have to lower compression to about 2:1 with those thin cylinder walls

 

how about the new engine in the titan and armada? 5.9 liter... then add a turbo

 

I just want to get a titan when they come out.

 

those things look mean. it will be a good battle between the new ford. nissan definately has the reliabilty, hopefully it beats the ford in everything else.

 

I have always been more partial to dodge than ford but now I have Nissan in the market too!

 

if i were looking for full size i would have gone with a chevy with a duramax diesel or a dodge with a cummins but i try to stay as far away from domestics as i can.

back to the topic , not all maximas have V6's. the first gens had an inline 6 and was rwd. you could also get a diesel inline 6.

 

haha! safdsafdsaf
