As everyone stated, the 95+ Maxima IS OBDII. 95 owners get the best of both worlds here in Illinois, no emissions testing AND we have OBDII..its Niiiice

did you not read in the above posts noob that all 95 and newer maxima ARE obd-II. Or did you just write this to try and get coser you your 15 posts?
Gain some knowledge before putting someone down who just might possibly have a valid point. Also if you notice, Creammotors is far from being a noob. He's been on since 2003. Now me..I'M a noob...to this website.
My pops is an instructor at the DC training center for Nissan, so I'd say he's a pretty knowledgeable guy when it comes to Nissans. According to him, my 1995 Maxima is OBDi. How do I know? It doesn't use the rear o2 sensor (post cat) for monitoring. Now what I mean by this is that the ecu still reads the post cat sensor, but will not throw a code when the sensor is bad. I just proved that theory 2 days ago with a consult, my rear o2 is shot, and it wasn't throwing a code. Nifty.

That doesn't mean it's 'OBD-I'. It may not be compliant to 100% of OBD-II specifications, but it does comply with most.

No. All A32s have an OBD-II DLC, as we've proved many a time.

Look for the plug by the glove box. If it's there get an OBD2 reader. I recommend one that gives you the description of the code on its LED screen. My 95 is obd2 readable, but according to NYC emissions test, it is not obd2. They have to put the sniffer in the tail pipe and run it thru several speeds and get the readings at those speeds, all while, a DMV camera records the test, and your car license plate. A real pain in the butt, cause the garage really wants to find something wrong, to compensate for their time.

then explain why my car was made 7-94 and has the OBD2 port and can be read with a OBD2 code reader?

ALL 4TH GENS ARE OBDII. The connector is down by the fuse box, near the driver's left knee (or if you're a tall bastrd, your shin )
That said, I'm pretty sure that 4th gens are not 100% compliant with OBDII, however, they read fine with an OBDII reader. I use a cheap eBay OBD2 to USB adapter and it works fine.

Except of course on the '95s...
96+ are fully OBD-II compliant as required by federal law. '95s (IME) are completely compliant in every aspect I've tried them, but some argue that they aren't fully.
Regardless, if you've got an OBD-II code reader and an A32 regardless of year, you can read the codes.

I didn't know that the 95s are on the wrong side.
I thought I read somewhere that 95s and 96s weren't fully compliant. But IMO, it doesn't really matter, as long as people can read the codes, that's all they'll really care about, lol.
Also, the baud rate (i think that's the term) of the ECUs sucks.
