I have a 92 max SE with a VG engine???? is this a common thing or a special order type deal...i was just wondering if anyone out there was the same way...

 

unless the VG was swapped in place of the VE that originally came with it...but who the hell would want to swap a VE for a VG???

 

Check your speedometer. If it goes to 145mph then you have a VE. If it goes to 125mph then you have a VG which probably means you have a 92 GXE.

 

the lady i bought it from got it brand new off the lot and has babied it ever since and the first time i test drove i noticed the speedo only went up to 125 so i took a look under the hood and bam a VG....i asked her about it and she didn't have any idea ...i bought the car b/c she gave me a deal for $2,500 owell ...i know its an SE b/c it has the spoiler, white face guages, leather, sunroof, 5 spd, and she def said it was an SE ...maybe it was bought in 91 when it first came out b4 the VE engine...what do you all think?

 

does it have chrome around the windows and a spoiler and body color mirrors? Or are you sure it is a 92 what do the tail lights look like?

 

if it has all the se stuff sounds like the thought her 91 was a 92, if so you have the vg.

 

i know its a 92 because it says it on the title and on my carfax report...u think it might of been a special order to save some $$$$?

 

weird I have never heard of such...one last question...does the white part of the tail light go all the way around the side of the car and is the center part on the trunk blacked out or is it a red at all.

 

the senter is blacked out with maxima text in it

 

does your rear end look like my sig?

 

the clear stip is all there

 

Then it is probably a mistake on the title or something because the 92 had a red center (its blacked out but not completely like the 89-91)

That is strange that its wrong though.

 

You have a 91 SE.. the 92 had to be a mistake.

 

it does look like urs Chris

 

owell i really don't care if its 91 or 92 all i know is i got a great deal for $2,500 even though it has 160,000 miles im sure it can still go another 100,000 it still purrs like a kitten and all the major maintenence with a new clutch at 155,000 it def was babied for the stock clutch to last that long. I'm happy with the deal so now i can see how much power i can get out of her with those fancy stickers and rediculously huge wings......YEAH RIGHT I HATE THAT ****
My first project is gonna be intake what would u guys think CAI or POP im up in MA so the winters can be kinda brutal but if u wait a minute the weather will change....thnxs.

 

yeah it's probably a 91SE and not a 92...you have all the options of an 89-91 SE with the VG, 125mph gauges and the rear like mine etc etc

 

Yup that is a good deal and as long as your happy with it it doesn't matter what year it is.

 

yeah, sounds like 91SE maybe a very late one or something

no big deal though, those are still very nice as well and will last forever

for anyone else wondering, the differences on SE vs. GXE and 1989-1991 vs. 1992-1994 are on my how-to page with pics

Yeah but I wouldn't be going around telling people you have 92 SE. If they knew about maximas, they would look at you funny and mumble behind your back.. especially if your at a Maxima Meet.

 

There goes chris showing off his rear again.

 

you know you like it

 

The easiest way to tell a '91 from a '92 is the grill. The 89-91's have the NISSAN emblem in the lower right-hand corner of the grille.

The 92-94 have the "hamburger" emblem in the center. Unless of course you're like me, and switched grilles to add that extra 30 HP

ON a side note I have never heard of a 1992 SE VG, but sometimes when I buy timing belt related parts, I get questions about what month my car was made in, implying that there may be some 1991 SE VE's out there.
