does the 2002 Max have the same motor as the Pathfinder & new Altima, just boosted in power?

what's gonna happen to the VQ30-K, goin the way of VE30 i take it?

 

Yes

 

It's been posted already. The 2002 Max will have the VQ35DE. Should be around 260hp and 246lb-ft.
The best part: Available on the SE will be a six-speed, and helical limited-slip diff.

 

My bad, thought it was the same.

 

What's the difference between the helical limited-slip differential and regular limited-slip diff.?

 

It's better! I think it can put more power to one wheel or the other the a VLSD. A VLSD can only transfer something like 60% to one wheel and 40% to the other. Not those exact #'s but something close to that.

 

nething thing that transfers 100% to one wheel in those sharp aautocross turns??

 

Helical limited slip == Torsen, Quaife, Integra Type-R etc..
Viscous: 20th Anniv. SE, just about every Subaru.

Helical differentials react to slippage quicker, can transfer a larger percentage of torque between wheels, and are damn near indestructible

 

wow! That's really cool.. I hope that I will get a 2001 Max with these cool features for my grad/valedictorian present.

 

2002, not 2001.

 

That's what I was thinking, motor/tranny swap to a 97, that would haul major AZZ

 

Oops.. my bad.. I meant 2002
