some info I found on nissan engines
The VG engine family consists of V6 piston engines designed and produced by Nissan for several vehicles in the Nissan lineup. VG engines displace between 2.0 L and 3.3 L and feature an iron block and aluminum head. Earlier versions featured SOHC and 12 valves for mid-range power. Later versions featured DOHC with 24 valves and variable valve timing for increased high RPM efficiency and smoother power delivery. The block is a particularly strong design with a single piece main bearing cap, and is capable of reliably supporting more than 1000hp. The production block and SOHC heads were used successfully in the Electromotive IMSA cars in the mid 1980's.
The VG series engine found it's way into thousands of Nissan vehicles, starting in 1984. The VG design was retired in 2004, as all models received the VQ series engine instead.

The VG33E is a 3.3 L (3275 cc) version built in Smyrna, TN. Bore is 91.5 mm and stroke is 83 mm. Output is 180 hp (134 kW) at 4800 RPM with 202 ft.lbf (274 Nm) of torque at 2800 RPM. It has an cast iron engine block and aluminum SOHC cylinder heads. It uses SFI fuel injection, has 2 valves per cylinder with roller followers and features forged steel connecting rods, a one-piece cast camshaft, and a cast aluminum intake manifold.

The VE engine is a 3.0 L V6 piston engine from Nissan. It is a derivative of the Nissan VG engine and was only used for a few years. This motor has an iron block, aluminum cylinder heads with 4 valves per cylinder, variable valve timing on the intake camshafts, coil on plug ignition, and an available variable intake manifold.
A major difference between the VE and VG30DE engines is the heads. The low underhood clearance on the 92 -94 Maxima demanded a special head to be developed with 30°, rather than 46°, between the valves. Lack of space also demanded a redesigned camshaft drive system, so a special chain drive was developed. However, the block is basically the same for both motors.
[edit]
VE30DE
The 3.0 L (2960 cc) VE30DE produces 190 hp (142 kW) at 5600rpm and 190 ft.lbf (258 Nm) at 4000rpm. This motor redlines at 6500rpm. It was built from July, 1991 through March, 1994.
It is used in the following vehicles:
1992-1994 Nissan Maxima SE
