I found a VHS video I'd received a long ago from Nissan when the 4th gen was all new. Here is the link if anybody wants to check it out:

and for all you youngsters: VHS

 

Never seen that one before. Thanks for taking the time out to record that to share with the community, much appreciated man.

 

thats a really good video....now i want a brand new 95 SE

 

very convincing. nice vid man. btw why do you still have a vhs player??

 

no pinstripes

 

'95-'96 FTW!

 

awesome - thanks for sharing.

 

nice vid! thanks!

 

Old School Video, NICE!

 

cool

 

I remember that video!

They compared it to a 5 series?!? I think they got that part wrong, or were they serious?

The engine weighs 100 lbs less than before.... before what?

I want a brand new one now, this makes me feel so special to own a 96 maxima

 

wow... i ditched my 96 maxima for a 99 lexus gs300... o_O but i really want to drive my maxima all over again... xD

nice video man.

 

I borrowed the VHS player!

I think it is referring to the previous generation.

 

Cool video, thanks for uploading it

 

That was NASTY. I want those polished covers and block!

 

They've mentioned the side airbag came standard with every 95 Maxima in the video (4:06-4:08). Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks for uploading this awesome video.

 

pretty neat video

 

I believe they said "dual airbags" meaning one for driver and passenger. Side airbags weren't introduced in the Maxima until '98 when it was available as an option.

Odd that they used a GLE in this video since it mainly focused on performance.

 

They didn't offer side airbags until 98-99's, according to wikipedia. I think what they were trying to say was they have both driver 'side' and passenger 'side' airbags. Not actual side airbags.

Haha, starting under $20,000! Not anymore!

 

dang, you beat me to it!

 

Nice, love that video!

 

great video!


this is still one of my favs though

very nice

 

i acutally liked it. Thanx for sharing with the org. That video was pretty convincing,not to mention how sexy it looked coming towards you.

 

To be honest though, I'd prefer an Acura Legend GS 6-speed sedan to the Maxima... (runs and hides)

I'd consider one now if not for a few reasons:

1) Rare to find in good shape
2) Very rare to find with a six-speed
3) Leather seats usually very worn
4) Reliability issues; it's a rather old car now

 

thats because the GLE is vastly superior to all other trims

 

For luxury, yes, but for performance the SE is tops.

 

is it just me or the car in the commercial is dropped?

 

Maybe because they knew the SE would over kill the competition lol.






jk. Seriously...

 

Yea I noticed that too! My tokico kit sits higher than that maxima!! Grrr...

 

i was wondering that too and the SEs just look better

 

its like a 2 or more inch drop, looks like

 

i have that vhs tape too, just found it the other day, haha!
my buddy had a bmw 5 series and we would race and we were neck and neck. who ever had the head start would usually win though

 

100lbs less than the weight of the previous DOHC Maxima (VE30DE).

 

was his a 540i though? if it was 535i or a 525i they are both rated to have slower 0-60 than the maxima

 

that was awesome. i really enjoyed that video. thanks

 

very nice video.
Nice find...

 

540i since they quoted it having a V8...unless it's a 530i which had a 3.0L V8 in that generation. Hmm...

And I agree, the SE looks much better. Those "honeycomb" wheels on the GLE are a mess!

 

Maxima w/o fogs, stock or aftermarket, doesn't look right. Even worse are the covers in the 95-96. At least the 4.5gen had cool slats there.
