Trim / Codes

The 1997 Nissan J30 (Maxima) received a mid-cycle refresh with revised front and rear styling, updated interior trim, and minor equipment changes, while continuing with the 3.0-liter VQ30DE V6 engine. Common service items include timing belt replacement at the recommended interval, since the engine uses a belt rather than a chain. Owners also frequently address automatic transmission wear, aging suspension components, and oil consumption on higher-mileage examples.
