If i were to line up 2 max's how could u tell which was a 95 and which was a 96?

 

No. I've actually tried this. Zam, one of my good friends has a 95 Max and I own a 96. Side by side they look identical except for the obvious, SE vs GXE.

 

Physical differences? NO

electronic and emissions differences? YES

 

well apart from specific color difference for specific years.. like Midnight Blue in 95 and Starfire blue in 96 .. no real difference

 

I owned a new '95 then I bought a new '96. There were no exterior differences I could see but the interior in the '96 had a divider in the cup holder (which I removed because it made it harder to put drinks in it) and also got a cup holder in the center console. Not much of a difference really.

In 96 the front passenger seat was powered! Thats right but only on the ones that had power seats as a option. As for emissions? I've never heard of any differences there. BTW there was a new color produced in 96.

 

the green colors are completly diffrent on the 95 vs the 96 too

 

humm, all i know is 96 uses a Map/baro sensor while the 95 doesnt. i know for like the blue colors, one year they used Neptune blue and one year they used Starfire blue...dunno what else

 

The green on the 95 is a lot darker than the newer colors. Mine has the original dk. green, looks almost black at night....

 

you can also tell the dif. on the factory rims mine came w/ seven spokes and i've seen some 95' SE/GLE that have some other Nissan rims.

 

95s had a common failure of the O2 sensors, which were recalled, also aren't the starters notorious for failing? Just wondering...
anyone know if these things were fixed with the 96s?

 

Early '95s weren't completely OBD-II compliant. The later ones and the '96s were. The really dark color on the '95s was Black Emerald, paint code DJ2. The GLEs for both '95 and '96 came with really ugly wheels that had a rhombus pattern on it.

 

Not sure, but was told some '95's had 8bit ecu's and '96's had 16bit ecu's...

No differences, except for the cup holder and power passenger seat! I suspect the passenger seat was added when the I30 came out, as it too has a power passenger seat.

 

I've heard some interesting things in this thread.

My Max is a 96 SE, however I 1) don't have a power passenger seat, although my driver's seat is power (8-way adjustable or whatever it is) and 2) my paint is very dark green, everyone thinks the car is black, but when it's very clean in very bright sunlight, you can tell it's green.

I do have the cup holder with the divider and the big cup holder inside the center console.

 

There IS an exterior differnce. Look under the front bumpers at the intake area in the '95s. There is an intake on the drivers side that is NOT there on the '96s.

 

Electronics BETTER GEARED FOR SPEED in 95? YES. Cosmetic? NO. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be as a**hole, I own a 96. Just trying to help.

 

the diffrence between the 95 and 96 is the that the 95 comes with no restrictions and the 96-99 do just look at the motors next to the manifold u will see the diffrence

 

I was looking at CourtesyParts.com and found 3 different colors available for the 95-96 cup holders : 68430-A32B003 Beige, 68430-A32B001 Black, & 68430-A32B002 Serene. What color is Serene? Does anyone have any pics? I'm pretty sure my tan interior would take the Beige, but I was just curious what color is Serene. Thanks!
