I'm a bit confused, after reading the stickies and looking around online it said that ABS was an option on all 4th Gen maximas, was ABS offered on 4th gen 5-speed Maximas in every/any year of production?

 

I believe so. I have ABS brakes on my 95 Maxima SE, 5-speed, but I also have a limited-slip differential (LSD).

 

I have ABS on mine. Is this question going somewhere?

 

my 95 5speed has it, so yes it was offered every year if the 95 had it

 

ive wondered forever...
do i have an LSD? on a 99 maxima ES 5sp. for some reason, in my mind, if a 95 max has it then mine would have it definately?

 

I have it on a 98 5 speed if that counts

 

I have a 98 GXE 5 speed without ABS of course. I can't start new threads so I'll ask it here. My car has started to make whiny noises when rolling back when I start up in reverse. I think it has to do with the brakes since it does it whether I have it in reverse or in neutral and stops when I step on the brakes. The brakes don't vibrate or anything, but sometimes there's a noise when I press down on the brakes. THe master cylinder is full, though... ANy ideas?

 

I think your best bet is the SE 5spd. It's possible they had ABS stock or buyers for the SE most likely opted for it anyway.

I don't have ABS and frankly, I can't tell the difference between this and my mom's Buick with ABS. I've only slammed on the brakes a couple of times and locked the wheels once, but I was only going around 50mph. Left a nice patch of rubber behind though!

 

ABS brakes were optional on 95SEs, IIRC.

 

my 96 5 speed doesnt have ABS, it was an option for every year 4th gen i think.

 

my 99 gxe 5spd has abs

 

IIRC ABS was an option on all years 4th gen. When i was in search of my dream max (Black 99 SE-L 5spd w/ Black Leather and Auto A/C by the way and still havent found it ) the one 99 SE-L i did find did not have ABS. I found out the easy way by accelerating to like 70mph and slam on the brakes! Long screeeech = No ABS.

 

go for a '98, no coil/emissions hassles

DO stay with the blk/blk

 

on the 70mph ABS Detection Method...

The Canadian guys have LSDs because they're Canadian... All Maximas sold in Canada had LSDs.

ABS was an option on all Maximas, as far as I know. But yeah... Count me as one more '95 SE that has it.
