Please educate me...
What's the difference between a VQ30DE and a VQ30DE-K engine, with regard to Maximas? "K" usually indicates a supercharged engine, but I'm not aware of any factory supercharged Max's being produced.

I think he meant this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_VQ_engine

Why would I bother visiting a site that hosts information based on consensus opinion when I can come here to the .org for facts (it's a VQ, not a VG, BTW)? Especially when I can get the facts along with asinine comments from small-minded internet post-****** who have no apparent purpose in life beyond the reach of their keyboards?
To those kind fact-givers: thank you. Now I understand.

k stands for improved, hence the 30+hp gain over the fourth gens

Why would I really want to go to Wikipedia when I want to talk about Maximas? Would I go to PF Chang's if I wanted to eat weinerschnitzel?

I'm sorry to be such a bother. No, I'm sure it's not a new question for the all-wise and all-knowing potentates of Maxima knowledge who reside here on the .org, but it's a new question for me. Perhaps rather than questioning someone's integrity for asking for some clarity (especially after explaining the source of his confusion in a reasonable manner), you should really question why YOU are on a Maxima forum when you apparently have no real interest in talking about Maximas. You'd obviously rather spend your time berating lower life forms such as myself than actually having a discussion about Maximas.

Mother of God 
Kaizen, and who cares about peak hp numbers, it's all about area under the curve. 
Misnomer.
Less duration, so less potential for top end ( 6k+ RPM) power. In this case, DE intake cams > DEK intake cams for top end power.
I also hear the cooling system is a touch different.

i try to tell people that they will understand some day......
Soonerfanism, noun: (1) the belief that there are, in fact, stupid questions; (2) the understanding that, while many questions are worthwhile, there are better places to ask them; (3) the knowledge that, although some questions may be worthwhile, a simple search may reveal answers.

You should go to the Nico forums or some other place then. Also we do have a thread for questions like this if you will be asking more.

Your post count is probably composed of many, many useless responses in threads much like this one. Congratulations. That's a great accomplishment. You are most certainly worthy of the adoration and praise of all the lowly subjects in your kingdom which you rule so benevolently. What are you, 15? 16? Do you even have your driver's license yet, or did you fail the test because you couldn't stand being asked a set of simple questions to which everyone knows the answers ?
Nice car in your avatar. I'm sure it's yours, right?

P.S. (or I guess that's "P.M.S." in your case) I'm sorry, I thought this was a forum. A forum is a place to openly discuss ideas. If people do not wish for others to ask questions or have discussions, then the entire concept of a forum is moot. By your logic, this forum would die within hours, because everything has already been discussed, therefore no further or repeat questions need be entertained. All threads should be locked, because everyone will be able to easily find whatever they wish to know if they'd only SEARCH. Right?
On the other hand, if one cannot find anything to say which is actually pertinent to a conversation, then one should simply have the courtesy to remain out of that conversation. Didn't your parents teach you that?

Typical... old member with an ungodly high post count (indicative of not much life outside an online forum) thinks that a low post count is automatically equated with a young, stupid twit...shows his manly prowess by telling the newb to search...chuckles to himself at the thought of just how badly he has scarred the ego of the poor, stupid newb...complains about how the newb is wasting his time by asking such stupid questions.

Actually "R" denotes supercharged in Nissan nomenclature (such as the VG33ER).
K, newb.

Soonerfan, we could banter back and forth until my post count is 20,000 and yours is 40,000, and it would most likely still have no relevance to the actual topic of the original post.

There is a 3x5 sticker under the hood that reads the vehicle emission control info and barcode and it lists my engine to be vq30de. I'll upload a picture for ya when I get home
I do know for sure that my engine looks different from the 4th gen vq30de.
I'm sure sooner has more life outside of this forum than you think. I think it's his principle to be involved in every single thread ever created and thats how he get his high post count. And I'm not surprised that he drops in a lot since that's what I do when I get bored at work which is every 15sec.
And there is a noob thread for people to ask simple questions like yours that only require a short reply so we don't jam this forum up with pages of threads.

My 01 AE also reads just "VQ30(DE)", but that doesn't mean it's not a VQ30DE-K. There is a reason it looks different than a 4th gen VQ, it's because it's a DE-K. Every 00 and 01 produced came with a DE-K.

Ummm wow. Just wow. You really are a sanctimonius Equus, aren't you? I suppose you're recommending Nico because you're a moderator over there? No, actually I don't frequent Nico, because it's too full of wonderful people just like you on top of all the idiots.

Did i strike a nerve? 
You talk allot of **** for someone who cant even find out what K in their engine coding means on their own.
So do we have a new village idiot?
Do you know what GT-R stands for on my avatar? Hope so otherwise there might be a new thread!

hey, calm down guys...
there is no point to start a fight about this...
I think sonnerfan should give a chance for noobs to start a pointless question, and new friends should respect the work that we did.
everybody starts from a noob, we can't ignore our past because we are pros. in other point, new people really should start learning how this forum works, other wise this forum will be flooded with questions like this..
