Where is the fuel filter located and how do you replace it on a 1992 Nissan Maxima?
If you have a Maxima GXE with the VG30E engine, the fuel filter is located on the firewall on the driver's side. It simply slides into a bracket, and the rubber fuel lines are just held on by 2 clamps. The filter is in the same place on a 1992 Maxima SE with the VE30DE engine as well, but it will be slightly harder to access.

I'd take it if it's running well. 119,000 is low for a '94, and the VG30E is a solid engine as well.

Is there valve clearance on a 1987 Nissan Maxima?
The 1987 Nissan Maxima VG30E engine uses hydraulic valve adjusters (also known as "cam followers") which cannot be adjusted. Therefore, there is no specific valve clearance. If you hear valve noise, it could indicate that there's either excessive wear of valve train parts or clogged hydraulic adjusters.
