Hey -
Do the VG and VE engines have the same crank/block? I've got a guy that's looking for a crankshaft for his '90 300zx (non-turbo VE) and he wanted to buy one of my 'spare' VG engines. He knows what he's got to do to his, I just need to know if it is the same block.

 

the VE was only used in the maxima.
the 300Z got a VG30DE different animal

 

nope some 300's have the VG30E Im not sure which ones exactly but the vg30e is in some 300's. I read on one site the guy put a vg in from a 93 gxe in his.

dont know if you know this but the 89-91 se's and all gxe's had the VG30E and the 92-94se's had the VE30DE. you have the VG30E in your max.

only until 89 (Z31) was it a VG30E/T
90 and up (Z32) it was VG30DE/TT

 

I know what engine I have, and what engines came in what year Maxima's, I just wanted to know if the 1990 Maxima and the 1990 300zx (NON-TURBO) use the same block/crank. That's it. That's all I need to know. If it's the same block, then I can sell one to this guy....

 

Thanks. I did some searching around and found the same stuff...different crank. My bad on the VE in the first post - duh. I knew the 300x was dohc, so I just assumed it was the ve...forgot Nissan only put it in the max for a couple years.

 

my replies were only meant to inform not insult.
I know some people search and just in case they do, I want to be sure they don't get the idea of using the VE in a Z32
I wonder how it would work
