I just bought my white 92 Maxima two days ago. The seller was claiming that the engine is from a 99 maxima. If he's right, according to my friends research, it might be 92 intake manifold with a 99 block, which makes it a VQ30ED, i believe. or it might just be plain old bs.
Some problems while driving is a dying clutch, major hesitation from the engine and some shifting problems (it grinds when i downshift to second, while clutch depressed, at medium rpm), clicking noises from the engine, (according to the my friend's auto s***hascope, it's coming from the front middle piston. But besides that the trunk got rear ended and i havnt been able to open it. I live in the north subs of chicago, it's freezing balls and im going to be taking auto body classes next semester. But for $850, not bad? Brakes and suspension seem to be fine, so far. I gave it a oil change and some fuel stuff yesterday, the engine seemed to run a little smoother. Sorry for the extent of the message but it's my first car and a newbie. Actually someone wanna tell me how to post pics? i have pics from my hacked E815 phone.
