1992 VG30E 5 speed with a driver's side airbag? Did the airbags only become available in 1992 on the VE powered maximas?

Same here. Forget the airbag - what's with this weird combo in '92?!?

5-speed only comes in SE models. For SE models between '92-'94, it's the VE engine. Gxe (VG engine) only comes in automatic the last time i checked. And the driver side airbag is an option i believe? I have a '94 Gxe w/ driver side airbag FYI.

airbag was an option in 92, i believe...I remember asking a member about it and he had a 92 VE with a VG SE style steering wheel.

I know that in 91 the SE's had VG engines and came in 5 speeds. I thought that the VE engine debuted in the middle of 92. Hence I thought that there might have been an early 92 SE with a VG with a 5 speed and with an airbag as an option. And, I know VG 5 speeds exist because several members on the board have them.

Personally I like the slightly older Celicas (mid '90s) since they look like mini-Supras! Though, those new ones are damn fast! I still beat 1 about a month ago, and I think it was manual?! That guy probably didn't know how to drive.

BTW, do you guys know how hard or how much it would be to convert a VG to manual? Can anyone give me detailed instructions on how to do this? HAHAHAHA j/k

already been said, but no.. that car can't exist.

89-91 SE are the only ones that had VG and 5 spd together.
92 had airbags as option, and 93 had them standard.
if it's got an airbag and a 5 speed, it MUST be a VE. (unless someone stuck a 5 spd on a GXE, which is damn near impossible due to firewall modifications)
