well i was doign a search.. and i found a 1992 gray maxima SE with 227,000 miles......it has a blown motor......so i was thinking that i could just put my new motor in it!!!!!! the car is $200 and i am gonna go look at it today!!! wish me luck!


if all goes well i might part out my 91 SE.. not sure yet

 

Good Luck man! Probably be easier swapping a VE for a VE than rewiring a VG setup.

Is the 92 a 5-speed or an auto?

 

it is an auto..BOO!!! but hey.. it s a car!

 

must read before post must read before post must read before post must read before post

 

well once you finish the motor-swap, maybe you'll feel confident enough to try a 5-speed conversion

 

Come on vans, don't give up man! You could be like one of the first(or few) to accomplish what your doing, officially anyway. Oh well, this would probably be better for you anyway. What I would do if I was you though, I would search around a bit for a cheap old VE 5spd, and just put your 69k motor in that. Cause now your gonna still be stuck with the auto.

 

dude, if nothing else pay the $200, tow it home and part it out. I could use some bits for my 92 SE..

Ooh, in fact, how's the leather steering wheel and shift **** look?

Wait, auto. damn. I could really use a new leather shift ****.

 

I would rather be stuck with a VE auto than a VG auto. Simply because the VG autos a POS's and VE auto's don't blow as easily.

 

just buy it and let me know when to come pick it up.

 

well i got it and here it is!!!!!!




its nothing special.....$200 sorry the pics are so blurry..but my camera kinda sucks without tripod... it is an SE but has GXE rims on it.. it is in kionda rough shape.. but i need a car NOW!!!!! so im just gonan swap in the motor and drive it......i tried to start it up and the motor is locked up.....tried starting it and nothing..... put a wrench on the crankshaft and broke it!!!!!!!! LOL so yeah its locked up!..... tomorrow i am gonna start the swap... more pics will come soon!




you talking about my VG motor?????

 

no, a VE A/T.
does it have ABS and Airbags?

 

Congrats. Now you have two trannies so beat away!!!!!

 

it has no air bag and i dont think it has ABS.. no sunroof either........darn it.. but o well




anybody want a locked up VE???

 

puh, ABS... never had it, hopefully never will... I could see having it with an auto... won't ever have one of those either.

 

the ABS in my 91 maxima didnt work i think.. one day i locked the tires up and they just stayed lockd up..... no chattering...makes it faster too.. makes the car lighter ....i wish i had the sunroof though


i would rather not have the ari bag also.....i do so much stupid **** with my cars its not even funny..so i would rather not have an airbag so it doesnt accidentally go off

 

Vans....You did pop the hood and made sure it has a ve engine in it????

 

....that is the first thing i did....LOL yup i am positive

 

I want it!!
A VE A/T stripper :yum:

I say this as I wait for a call about a replacement car. that's not a max and I'll be lucky if it is even a V6 (6 was an option) :cry:

 

im keepin this one man....LOL you can buy my VG though.....runs very well and has all black interior!

 

gee thanks a non-running car half way across the country

 

it runs...... just doesnt move........if you really want me to.. ill go get an auto tranny from the junker and throw it in for ya..... just an idea though

 

nah, I'd feel guilty paying little for a car you've done so much work to it

 

come pick it up with a u-haul trailer..........its a V6 and not a 4 cyl like oyu might get.....

 

Can't beat $200 for a parts car, especially since you have a VE engine handy.

You have some busy days and nights ahead of you. Ah, to be young again...

 

meh.. i can pull that motor out and put the new one in a day......no school (x-mas vacation) so i have all day....... so by mid week if all runs good.. ill be back on the road!!!!!

 

why don't you just drive out here and install my new tranny for me?

 

oregon........new jersey......3000 miles........only if you pay me a very hefty sum!!!!!

 

Why not internetautomar and vansskaterfreak trade cars?? VE5 for VE auto.

 

he got rid of his VE5

 

VE5 =
new car = 94 camry LE 4 banger
just waiting for them to bring back the title

 

lol wanan race now?????? ha ha

 

no but I NEED the tranny.



will a ve tranny fit a vg engine???

 

doesn't TRD make a supercharger for the 2.2

 

ill sell you the tranny that is in it right now... it has 227,005 miles on it.......but i have no way to see if it works..... the motor is locked up....so the tranny may still work.. i dunno.. but you can have it very cheap!
3.0 > 2.2 supercharged..........i bet the max would still win ..LOL

 

check my edit?? ve tranny on vg motor??

by the wayl, I live in texas so frieght maybe??? I got a quote for 150 right now, so 50 bucks for tranny??(lowballer maximum)

 

VE transmission will bolt up very nicely..... but the VG flywheel is a half inch smaller than the VE... so the starter doesnt touch the flywheel... which results in no starting......you can probably get a custom made flywheel.. but i dont know the cost of it or how much work it would take.....i already made that mistake of bolting the whoile thing up and trying it... i was prety pissed when i found this out.. so no it wont work....that is why i attempted to install the VE motor also.... but too much wiring

 

couldn't you get a ve flywheel and just bolt that to the vg??

 

VG flywheel has 6 bolts.. VE has 8 bolts.....it bolts to the crankshaft.. so i dont think y ou would want tto change that

 

Flywheel on an auto?? Isn't it the halfshaft?? The VE tranny to VG has been done before but only on 5-speeds. Maybe you have to use everything VE (except for engine)

 

well the flywheel on the VE auto has 8 bolts.. and the VG has 6 bolts...so it wont work.....since it screws into the crankshaft.. you will have to switch the crankshaft.... and i dont think the VG/VE crankshafts are the same.. but i may be wrong.. but thats alot of work
