I am sure this has been asked before but I haven't been able to find anything on it. What do VG and VE mean? What are the differences? I have a 91 SE, so which one applies to me?

 

This is straight from http://www.kalebonline.com/maxima/default.asp

Here's a quick list to determine your model/engine, etc.
1) Do your windows have chrome trim or black trim? If chrome, it's a GXE. If black, it's an SE.
Another way to tell: if your gauges are white text on black, you have a GXE. If they're black on white, it's an SE
2) If your Maxima is an 89-94 GXE, you have a SOHC, 160HP VG30E engine.
3) If your Maxima is a 89-91 SE, you have a SOHC, 160HP VG30E engine.
4) If your Maxima is a 92-94 SE, you have a DOHC, 190HP VE30DE engine.

 

you got a VG

VE has more power than VG (190hp to 160hp) and came on 92-94 SEs

cant tell you the exact differences b/c ive never driven a VG but im happy with my VE

 

VG=Very Good
VE=Very Excellent

 

Correction:

VE=Very Expensive (VTCs...)

 

Very Gay.....hahaha

 

correction:
Very Easily fixed (Craig B's rewire)

 

I know for a fact i have a gxe, but my engine says DOHC..?
is that possible
