The VE engine is a 3.0 L V6 piston engine from Nissan. It is based on the Nissan VG engine and was only used for the '92, '93, and '94 model years. This engine has an iron block, aluminum cylinder heads with 4 valves per cylinder and dual overhead camshafts, variable valve timing on the intake camshafts, coil on plug ignition, and an available variable intake manifold (5spd only).

A major difference between the VE30DE and the VG30DE engine are the heads. The low underhood clearance on the 1992–1994 Nissan Maxima demanded a special head to be developed with 30°, rather than 46°, between the valves. Lack of space also demanded a redesigned camshaft drive system, so a special chain drive was developed. The engine is otherwise similar to the VG30DE.

The 3.0 L (2960 cc) VE30DE produces 190 hp (142 kW) at 5600 rpm and 190 ft·lbf (258 Nm) at 4000 rpm. This engine redlines at 6500 rpm. It was built from July, 1991 through March, 1994.
