are there any NISSAN techs here??
 

i knew that would get your attention jeff ;) this chick at my work needs a new starter on her 00 maxima gxe, i can't find a used one for it, i'm wondering if any other nissan vehicles use the same starter. if anybody knows, that would be great.

The gxe has which motor? QR25? I've got 3 G20s at my house, but I can't remember stuff about many other nissans, someone knows;...

Re:are there any NISSAN techs here??
 

vq30de i believe........

Re:are there any NISSAN techs here??
 

really, I did realize both motor options were the 6s. the vq30 came in a couple of infinities... J30, M30(rare), search for used parts of theirs, not many infiniti owners work on their own, so used parts go cheap. I got a rebuilt SR20 Starter marker for the G20 for like $35. From napa they want like $175 for the same rebuilt one.

The 300zx is simply the vq30dett (right?) so that may work as well.

Re:are there any NISSAN techs here??
 

yeah, i was thinking from the 300, but it's rear wheel drive, the starter may be tranny dependent not engine dependent, i'm not sure though.........

Re:are there any NISSAN techs here??
 

that's why I said it may... I was thinking that same thing. best of luck to ya


wait, all those cars are rear wheel, are you sure it has the vg30 and not the QR25? I don't recall a fwd vg30...

Re:are there any NISSAN techs here??
 

uhmm, VG30 is from 3rd gen maxima (SOHC)VE30 (DOHC)
The other VG30 you talking about was for the 300z rwd.
For the 5th gen maxima (2000-2003), they use the VQ30DE motor, 6th gen they use 3.5 liter as well the Altima v6 verison.

You are close, but not quite right.

89-94 GXE/89-91 SE = VG30E
92-94 SE = VE30DE (what I have)
95-99 (all) = VQ30DE
00-01 (all) = VQ30DE-K (k=improved or some crap)
02-03 (all) = VQ35DE
04+ (all) = VQ35DE (tuned a bit differnet)

You should be able to use a starter for any 00-03 Maxima I think. Best bet is a rebuilt starter with a lifetime warranty from a parts store.
