I just bought a 2003 Xterra SE with the supercharged engine. From everything I've read, there is a VG33E and a VG33ER engine for the Xterra in 2003. My VIN sticker says my engine is a VG33DE. I can't find ANYTHING on the VG33DE. Is it a misprint from the Nissan factory? If so, that's not cool because it is on a VIN sticker! The only thing I found on Google is this...https://www.zdriver.com/forums/300zx-z32-performance-technical-47/vg33de-build-19254/

But I can't find out anything on Google or Wikipedia on what a VG33DE is. Can other Xterra owners with 03 models that have a supercharger check their sticker and see what is says? Thanks.IMG_20190513_160752.jpg

You're overthinking it. My 2001 X was labeled the same way

@Prime Mentioned this as well. If you have a VG33E, then it should say that. I have a VG33ER and mine should say that. If everyone's VIN tags say VG33DE, why is there no information on this on Google or Wikipedia. You have a 5N1E so from what I've been told, that means you have a non-supercharged engine. I have a 5N1M which means I have a supercharged engine. So why are our engine codes the same? Yours should be VG33E and mine should be VG33ER. Seems pretty simple....???

WOW! Bringing back an old thread...
I just ran across this too, while looking at a site that does fuel injector reconditioning. They say VG33DE on their site. I just looked at a few of my VIN tags on my Xterras and Frontier.
My 2002 SC Frontier says..."VG33". Not VG33E or VG33ER.
My 2001 NA Xterra says..."VG33DE". Not VG33E.
My 2x 2000 NA Xterras say "6VG5DE"! WTF is that?! :)

I tried to upload the images, but this site keeps complaining about the image size and it's too time consuming to go and find a way to convert them. :)

MS Paint and scale it down by pixels, not percentage then save it.
