Maxima 99 and 1/2?
hey guys, just got off the phone with Lynn from Warpspeed Performance. she asked me if my car was a 99 and 1/2. apparently, Dallas mentioned something about two different kinds of 99. the "normal" 99s and the 99 1/2. does anybody know about this? i've never heard about it before and neither has Lynn. all i know about my car is that it's a CA spec (i'm assuming this because i bought it in san jose).

i would assume that 99.5 is used to differentiate from the SEL models and Non SE-L models ... thats just my take on things ... bc i think it was some time in feb or march that nissan decided to make all maximas SEL's to make room for the 5th gens ..... And you know this Mannnnnnnn :eek:

Probably because some 99s came with the 5th gen alarm system, and also they had a slightly different front strut setup, among other things.
If you have a computer chip in your key, then you have the newer alarm system. Chances are that you have the 99.5 Maxima then. If you just have a regular key, then its a 99. DW |

Don't all 99's have the chipped key?:gotme:

That makes sense. My 98 was made in July 97. The 95 Max debuted in mid 94. The 2000 Max was introduced in May 99 or so. Nissan uses a calendar a bit ahead of time. Actually, most automaker's do.
DW Originally posted by ejj5875 I've got the chip in the key (NVIS), but my 99 was made in 12/98 and its not a SE-L. |
I have a 99 ES model, and mine isnt chipped. well dont think it is :confused:
|
hm...ok.
|
All US destined 99's have the chip, no matter if it was built in 98 or 99. Isnt the ES the canadian version?
|
yep canadian version. No chip. ah well got LSD though :)

All 99's came with the ignition immobilizer. The 99 1/2 is the SE-L and was made in early to mid 1999
Mine is the regular SE and was made I think in 10/98 |
