How do you know if you have a DOHC or SOHC Engine in a 93 Maxima? V6.

Thanks,

Kelly

(no i'm usually not this stupid)

 

Open hood. Inspect front cam cover. If it says DOHC your in luck. If it doesn't, well, then it doesn't

 

LIFT UP THE HOOD it should say DOHC right on the valve cover if it is DOHC ,or DO you have white faced Gauges? if so probably DOHC

 

check out my sites how-to section
if you have an SE, you have VE30DE DOHC
if you have a GXE, you have VG30E SOHC

 

I want DOHC

 

Check Craigs site, but if you have white gauges and it's a 93 then you've got the DOHC, also if there is no chrome around the windows, then you've got a DOHC, if your taillights are tinted and don't have a chrome strip, then you've got a DOHC, if you have a 5 speed, then you've got a DOHC, if your grill is chromed you have a DOHC, and if you don't have a keypad on your door then you have a DOHC.

 

If your grill is chromed then you DON'T have a DOHC.....just lettin ya know

 

Thanks man, also if you have fog lights you have a DOHC.

 

Not necessarily. Nissan sold/sells a GXE foglamp that looks similar, but it's hard to tell them apart with a quick glance.

Just open the hood - that's the best way

 

Or if you just got an engine transplant from a 93 with DOHC, then you're cool, like me! Who wants to race?

 

hey, i read your profile and saw that it says 93 maxima GLE. the third gen max only came in GXE and SE trims. so i'm assuming you have a GXE, which also makes it SOHC. i wasn't sure what mine was either a while back, i knew it was gxe or gle and i finally figured out gle doesn't exist. anyway, VG POWER!!!

 

If you race a kid on a tricyle and get your butt kicked, you have SOHC.

 

lol...that's reminds me of office space...i think, i just remember the preview for it with the guy in his car in traffic and like an old man with a cane or something. maybe it was a turtle or even a kid on a tricycle, i dono, you get the point.

 

I have a chrome grill and a VE

 

heheheh yeah, it was an old man. watched that the other day..

then I started school monday and have werner (? the red headed dude the keeps mumbling stuff like "I'll burn this place down.. I'll kill you!" ).. but anyway.. I have a guy exactly like him for my statistics prof!

 

there seems like a lot of people like that around! My friend works with someone like that and he's always laughing about it because he owns Office Space on DVD.

"...b-but if Jane is allowed to listen to music at a reasonable volume while she staples, I should be allowed to listen to music at a reasonable level while I collate..."

I think his name's James Milton or something, but he's the same guy who plays Jimmy James on News Radio - he's funny!
I love that movie....

 

Did you chrome it, or replace it?
