Difference between the 95-96 and 97-99 maxs?

I have a 3d gen max and i'm selling it to get a 4th gen....could anyone tell me the difference between the 95-96/97-99 maxs? CUz i'm lookin at just some exterior mods and some are made for those first two years only, and then different ones for the last 3 years..

well - the 95 is supposably the fastest one......but the 97+ are slightly more sleeker......the taillights are simple to clear out - most modifications are the same for all 4th gens

is that so? i thought they all had the same horse power, well, don't know what torque's are for the maxima's, but if 95's are the fastest, i'm starting to feel good

95 Maxima's would be the fastest because that was the last year of OBD-I diagnostics/ECU's. All 96+ cars in the US have OBD-II ECU's which are much more strict on engine/emission controls and as a result are much less responsive to engine modifications.

That would explain any reasoning that says that 95 Max's are the fastest and 96-99 seem a bit slower, if that reasoning exists...

my 95 and all te 95's ive been working on is OBDII. There is an OBDII port near the ECU on the passenger side, if you have that, you have OBDII.

95 has no MAP sensor and 96+ has MAP sensors.

I stand corrected

At least on Honduh's they all switched over in MY96. I guess Nissan did it a bit early ??

heheh sorry, juss alot of people always say 95 is OBDI and i have yet to see that.
i think 95 was the first year OBDII started on most models.
sorta like most 94+ cars switched to R134a

Isnt the 97+ intake more restrictive than the 95-96? I was told that a long time ago. If so, that may play a part in it too.
