VG30E The 3.0 L (2960 cc) VG30E produced 153 hp
and 182 ft.lbf. Bore is 3.43 in (87 mm) and stroke is 3.27 in
(83 mm). In 300ZX form, it produced 160hp and 174lb-ft. 1988
saw the 300ZX gain 5 more horses for a total of 165; however,
torque ratings remained the same. In 1989, the Maxima received
the 160hp rating, but also used a variable intake plenum that
let it make 182lb-ft@3200rpm. Strangely, the 300ZX never
received the variable intake plenum.
