A poor man's Mercedes, drove this car to the prom, a 82 in brown metallic, with tan velour interior, my tuxedo was also brown, my dad loved this car, he loved playing with all the gadgets . He ended up buying 3 more maximas , a 88, 92, & a 2000, he's now in maxima heaven. RIP dad.💜
I just picked up an 1984 Maxima. I had an 1987 myself and my uncle had 1982 that still said Datsun. The 1984 handled better than the 1987. Rear wheel drive makes a lot difference in that department. I'm told cheaper to fix too without CV axles and associated parts of front wheel drive. Im told the engine is better . Both use the same engines of their respective sportier Z-Car. 1978-1984s used the same 2.8L in-line 6 that the 280Z/280ZX uses. 1985-1989s used the 3.0L V6 the 300ZX uses, transverse mounted for the Maxima. Another car to consider is Toyota's answer to the Maxima of that era: the Toyota Cressida. Also a 4 door version to their answer to the Z-Car: the Toyota Supra with likewise the same engine and transmission types. Both are very good. The Volvo 700 series is also good. Weaknesses, the automatics in Toyotas and Nissans of that era weren't as good as their 5 speeds. If they drive well and shift well, fill and drain with a good synthetic and keep your eye on them. The Volvo, keep your eyes on the fuel pumps, crank sensors and relays. Used to be a site about their turbobricks as these types are called. Either one of those cars on the whole will serve you well
This was my first car. My dad was obsessed with these cars. We had 3 at one time. 1984 automatic gray and two 1983 manual on tan and the other gray. I had so much fun spinning out in a parking lot full of snow. I had fun with this car in high school. It taught me how to drive in the snows. Drifting in a wet parking lot.
Underrated TH-camr. Keep up the good work. I personally have gotten tired of seeing other people review supercars left and right. These videos are refreshing.
Yeah, I love the way he does his car reviews! Great presentation style, and I always enjoy his reviews of the cool retro 1980s and 1990s cars, memories of my childhood and young adulthood. Keep it up bro, you rock!
I had my 1984 Nissan (Datsun) Maxima Sedan for 34 years. Sweetest car that I have driven and enjoyed and loved dearly. My baby was Chocolate Brown with the digital green display and brown leather with the talking lady voice. Still have my 50th Anniversary Golden Key. The cream beige white non metallic color sedan you have is in sweet condition. This car is a Four Speed Automatic... I would toggle the console switch on an off (above 30 or 35 MPH) to downshift. The plush pillow seats care sweet and my leather still looked good, no rips in the leather. The look of the car is a classic. I would buy one today hands down A gem and truly driven, my first ride.
Yes, I think those were Nissan's heyday, the 1980s, into the early 1990s. And I liked their earlier cars like the 1968-73 Datsun 510, the 720 pickups, the Z cars, the Maxima and Stanza wagon.
@@reallyrandomrides1296 Ditto! One of my earliest memories is of my dad's old cream colored manual datsun pick up truck that was caked in cement and dents. I remember playing on the back of it and pretending that I was driving manual back in the early 80's. I miss those days.
We grew up with these cars here in the Caribbean. In Trinidad where I live, they are known as the Datsun Bluebird but they were mostly outfitted with the 1.8 OHC whereas the Nissan Laurel of the same era carried the 2.4L as featured in your video... Solid cars. Great video!
I had an '84 Datsun Maxima WAGON, an by far the best feature is the counter on the cassette deck! Nice to know how far back or forward to get to the next/previous track! Back in the '90's when I had the car, this was incredible to my high-school self!
I had a 1982 Maxima which was very similar to the 1984 Maxima.Mine didn’t have Overdrive.I think that started in ‘83.I can tell u that the car is comfortable & drives nice.The Voice Sensor could be annoying.Thank U for the video.
I remember going with my parents to the Nissan dealership in the 1980s and being enamored with whatever current top trim Maxima they had in the showroom and and being sad when we were only there to pick up one of their poverty spec Stanzas.
In 1981, Maxima was a trim package for the Datsun 810. What's funny is on our 2014 Nissan Maxima SV...is noted as a Nissan 810 Maxima on our insurance policy. Armchair quarterback/product planner.....Nissan should have kept the Maxima as a rear drive sport sedan.. I suppose nowadays, one can get an Infiniti for that setup.
I remember some of the Maxima's had stickers from the factory in the rear windows that said, FDSC. (Meaning Four Door Sports Car) My 1983 280ZX 2plus2 Datsun by Nissan had the lady's voice, but it only spoke when you were moving with the door open and stuff. (Parking brake is on. Fuel level is low, Drivers door is open, So futuristic)
We had a 1983 Maxima in a different exterior color, but the exact same interior color. It also had the same digital dash and radio. I was 10 when we got it new back in 1983 and wow, it was awesome. High tech back then! My dad kept driving it until 2000.
Crazy, this was my childhood car. I was just telling my kids we used to have a talking car, lol. Same color and everything. The only difference I noticed was our trunk had a chrome luggage rack on it. Great trip down memory lane. Thanks!
Wow, a walk down memory lane! I LOVED my 1984 Maxima even though I was jealous of my dad's 1990 Maxima as it was so much faster & more fun. I went everywhere in that car: cross country, out of country (Windsor, Ontario Canada) & places I should not have been! I almost bit it once on black ice as the rear wheel drive fish tailed @ 65 mph coming home at midnight from my girlfriend's house. It wasn't fast, but it was nice for me in high school.
I had an 84 maxima 5 speed for 5 years same color no sunroof and analog gauges. Mine went from stock to slammed on 14x7 wheels loved that car. I own a thunder black 82 maxima with the engine from a 280zx turbo and 5 speed very fun car and also own a 79 datsun 810 wagon 5 speed as well.
I'm the previous owner of this car and man....I wish I knew about this video sooner. I'm happy to see it the way I remember it. Definitely a cool car, and I would get compliments on it regularly. I hated to let it go but after a few months after buying this car, I found an 82 maxima wagon for sale so I bought it. I like the wagons a bit more than the sedans so I let the sedan go. Lmk if you're interested in checking out the wagon. Anyways, thanks for reviewing this car because I know this car is no longer this clean.
I inherited the Datsun sedan version from my grandfather. My first car.. Dam, I miss that car. It was very reliable, had tech ahead of its time, smooth riding, and enough power to have some fun around town.
I'm currently building the Toyota wagon rival to this. The 1986 Toyota Cressida wagon with the factory 5M-GE also used in the Toyota Celica supra ma60. When I'm done with it I would love for you to review it along with my 81 ra44 Celica and my uncle's 83 GTS Celica Ra65.
Nice! Those are both great cars. Nissan/Datsun from that era is cool, but I'm more of a Toyota fan. I'd love to see a review of a Cressida wagon, or any Cressida.
I had a 1983 Nissan Maxima in high school. It was a 5-speed manual and had analog gauges. It was awesome! I only got rid of it because it was from an era when computer control was high, but understanding was low, and nobody could figure out why I was suddenly getting horrible mileage and had low power...
had an 81 Diesel Medium Gray color, new. 11.2k price. These were really nice cars. Handled well (Came out of a 77 BMW 320is. and the Datsun handled nicely. They were all pretty much loaded with all options. Gray cloth inside and automatic on mine.
this was my car except in brown. don't think mine had the voice thing but i remember the dash very well. my dad bought me the car new when i was in high school. very quiet as i remember. and the sunroof was a nice feature. the rear driver lock would never work right and the dealer never did fix it. i never got the cruise control working either. i drove it until the car was falling apart inside. the rear window didn't have any tinting so it would be extremely hot in the south with the sun shining right on me. and worst, the plastic piece above the driver's feet would just fall. i think i brought it into pep boys for problems more than i can count. i eventually traded it in for a new 2003 mazda tribute. so i had it for nearly 20 years.
The 1984 Maxima was the only year the rear-drive version was marketed as a Nissan (from 1981-83 it was marketed as a Datsun or, to be precise, "Datsun, by Nissan"). It was also the last year for the ancient 2.4L six-cylinder engine, whose origins date back to the 1970-73 240Z coupe but was first fuel-injected beginning with its use in the original 1977-80 Datsun 810 series.
2.8L not 2.4. Same engine and transmission types the 280Z/280ZX used. In fact, the 810/Maxima basically WAS a 4-Door or 5-Door wagon Z-Car, be it a 280Z/280ZX or 300ZX for 1985-1989 versions
@@chrismc410 The 1981.5-83 Datsun (810) Maxima had an optional 2.8L diesel straight-6 (LD28) but not many such examples were sold due to Americans losing touch with diesel-powered cars after the failure of Oldsmobile's LF9 5.7L diesel V-8.

Very nice car, here in aus we built the rwd bluebird in these years that only ever got the l20b four cylinder. We also imported the y30 cedric called 300c over here which I have owned. Beefed up long wheel base with vg30e v6 straight out of the 300zx. This car seems to be an interesting combination of a laurel (had the L 6 motor) and bluebird with twin headlights because America in the 80s lol.

Japanese car companies were really going all in with all of the technology in lots of 80s japanese cars. That car has more technology than a 2002 Chevy Malibu lol. 80s Japanese cars were soo ahead of their time. They were outperforming the American cars back then.

Excellent review. They must have improved them by 1984 because my 1981 maxima (which I gave to my friend in 1997) was incredibly unreliable. 0-60 in 14 seconds, complicated electrical gremlins, atrocious in the snow and body integrity issues. I don't miss it at all.
1981 - 1983, you can get the even rarer LD28 Diesel 2.8 option in the maxima. And even rarer is that paired with a 5 speed. Which my 82 maxima has both ;)
