The 95-99 maxima is a 4th gen which has a VQ30DE motor. It's somewhat similar to the VE30DE, which you have,... but still way different. I"m sure it's possible to make it fit, but you would probably spend over 4,000 on getting the motor working. Then you have major wiring issues you'll have to sort out. I, and everyone up here will say it's not a feasible project. Since you will only be gaining a few ft-lbs of torque and losing about 100 lbs due to a lighter motor. You can spend $1000 and do the labor yourself and fix the VTCs. If you get the dealer to do it, it will cost about $2000 with labor included. OR, you can just ground them and be done with it. :) If you're not concerned about losing 12hp that much, then grounding is for you. PLEASE, check out the FAQs on Maxima.org. Later. : : : in order to resolve the dreaded vtc problem in 92-94 se's can an engine from 95 or newer be installed in 92-94 se? : Why, is there a problem with the fit, block not line up with tranny? an engine swap might be more reliable than dicking with the miserable vtc's Replys: Or MIKE (93VE) 05:27:16 9/27/2003 (0)
