Really the maxima weights how much? 3,522 not even a 6th gen weights that, 6th gen weights 3,400 lbs. with a VQ35DE. A 5th gen being a 2000 thru 2003 weights 3,250-3,330 and a 5th gen weights right at 3,000 lbs. to be exact 95- 96 is 2,990 97-99 is 3,020.... also by the way, the motor in the sentra, is a VQ30DEK meaning, it has a "variable intake manifold" in a 2000-2001 maxima.... VG30DE is a 1993-1994 3.0 DOHC Cast iron block not an aluminum block....
