In this short video, we cover how Vince's Maxima got cast for this role, how the car was built and where it is now.
Questions that are answered in the video will be deleted.
The viper blue goes so well with the Maxima tbh.
You mean Jersey X5 blue....
@@PACKERMAN2077 dodge viper 💙
PAKTRA PRODUCTIONS The Jersey is a Viper GTSR
@@aftrnoon_ac yes... I had noticed that... When the game came out... 😋
PAKTRA PRODUCTIONS ah ok
Low key the Maxima sounded AMAZING even in that short clip. Awesome to see those were the true sounds
James Russo “Low key”?... No , it did absolutely.

Sounds like ass
water bear lies
considering this thing is a slow turd, it does sound really good. I'm genuinely surprised that was it's actual sound.

Craig Lieberman, thanks for the video. You can have Vince’s Corona.
Lmaoo
This comment age well
aged like milk
Well, wiping your tshirt on vince’s beer wont be enough to avoid it
There is actually toyota corona in Indonesia so...
This proved that no matter how much you say "it's my daily driver", they never truly stay that way. A car guy will always want to change something.
Theres no such thing as a "daily driver" for a car guy.. lmao
@@TheDonYG Well, In my case I drive a 1972 Dodge Monaco 4dr HT "daily" so take that however you want.
Some changes need to be made to make dailying the car better,example radio,worn out buttons for ac,or windows,fixing power doors/windows if broken,change sets or fix if damaged,ext.
The only time it changes from a daily or a "daily" is when you start modding the body and motor.
I had a 97 maxima se. My jaw literally hit the floor when I watched the movie. I punching my buddy next to me telling him Yo that's my car!!! I was probably the only one in the theater that recognized what it was at the time.
Thats awesome man, definitely a moment u and ur buddy will talk about forever
Yeee
I still have a '97 Cefiro. My eyes popped out when I recognized the blue car as an A32 Maxima 😂😂
@@NokiaHumanForm its basicallay share the same chassis, and design i think
@@mahyuddinrazali854 the American a32 was nicer than the jam one. We had it, it was the infinity I30. A lot of people did front end swaps on I30's with maxima front end. Those were nice
Literally one of the best scenes when he does that rolling burnout coming out the driveway!!!!!
It was my favorite scene when it came out
These videos bring me back in such a beautiful way. Thanks for all of these Craig!
I never thought the Maxima really fit Vince's character, but it is finally nice to know why it as used. Have to admit that was a pretty sweet burnout from a FWD car.
Wd40 magic
Its easy to do a burnout on a fwd car if you are turning and it has no LSD.
@@Vitalinformation101 Now im going to put wd40s all around to the front tires of our 2000 A32 Cefiro Vq20 auto trans to do that burnout 😁😁
I was hoping you'd eventually feature this car. This car is why I bought my 4th gen Max many years ago. 1995 SE with Stillen supercharger, lip kit + many more mods. Not too many of these cars kicking around anymore.
i had a white 97 with the 5 speed, i loved that car but couldn’t keep it mainly because the undercarriage rust was too much, and yeah i’ve been trying to find another 5 speed and it’s near impossible
@@MidwestRainstorms I actually still have it. I don't drive it much, but it's still very fun when I do!
@@J.Gainez they were definitely known to rust yes. Mine doesn't get winter driven, so no rust fortunately
@3 name changes allowed every 90 days. I had a white 5.5 6MT also. Was an awesome car. I sold that one a while back though.
I've owned 4 maximas one was boosted, these cars will always have a place in my heart!
you really are a OG car guy. Love it.
Joe Stacks gtfo dude jesus
I love 1998 maximas ♥️♥️💯💯 Fav out of all of the maximas
ua-cam.com/video/ChZ_GvP_fkQ/v-deo.html
3 name changes allowed every 90 days. It is💯💯💯
KatyCat yea I seen that vid before I was impressed
That's one of the best looking Maxima's I've seen, AND it's my favorite gen! The lines were so smooth, the interior was plush, and it handled just like the Mazda MX-6/Ford Probe GT, which was a GOOD thing. With a stick and no mods, it could do 60 in 6.7s and the quarter mile in 15 flat.
My grandpa had a 95 Maxima SE and loved it. I was wrenching on my second DSM (GS-T) at the time. He let me drive it once and it scares him, which was funny to me because it has the same engine as the much forgotten Ford Probe GT, a KL-ZE.
Anyways, awesome Maxima. Enjoy it!
Thank you for doing a piece on this car! This is still my favorite car from the series as it was nothing you would expect! The mirrors weren't my taste but i wouldn't change a single thing about the car! Love to hear that the burnout scene was legit with sound bc that is deff one of the best sounding tuners ive heard! Id love to have that car and put it back to just the way it was from the movie!
This car is way better looking than today's Maxima's
lol i prefer the 5th gen
Mugetsu. I prefer 4th gen 🙂
I love my 4th gen
5th gen you get 30 extra horsepower!
@@audidriver53 so.... about what Fords four door sports car was putting out for the last decade?
I know I've posted this on almost all your videos....but thank you so much for doing these. Alot of us have always wished and hoped for the info about these, and who would be better than to tell us the stories. We appreciate you!!
Funny how car modding culture changes throughout the years. Now interiors and stereos just add weight
It always did. We just knew back then that it didn't matter in a street car. The hardcore guys always ran stripped interiors.
Are you suggesting that people dont do stereo builds today?
Back then it was more about looks than performance at least as far as the production crew was concerned. The charger was the only realistic "race car" in the movie.
@@DrewLSsix I feel like people don't put effort into builds like they do back in the day. Back in the day it seems people went all in their builds. Every aspect from engine to interior. Nowadays its not so much. People wrap their car throw some bags and wheels and say its a build. Not saying people don't it but not like back in the day.
I kind of like the old modding culture better, to be honest. Modding a car today is mostly, if not entirely, about speed and taking it to the track. That's fine, nothing wrong with that, but it's not my cup of tea, personally. The idea of modding your car in the 90s and early aughts style is simply to make the car you have as nice or as cool as you can. That's why I find builds like Vince's Maxima especially cool; that car has no business sitting next to the R33 GTR that Leon drives under normal circumstances. But a few thousand dollars and a lot of elbow grease later, it measures up in most aspects, plus you can comfortably fit four people in it.
I had a 1999 maxima SE 5 speed leather seats and sunroof back in 2005 I remember racing at 140mph on the highway couple of times that had torque for a stock engine
That stock engine still parties, loves to run
I drove mine into about 3ft of water,id bet if we pulled the engine apart and got the water out it woulda ran agian
Thanks for listening to the suggestions, excellent vid Mr. Lieberman
Holy shit two more years and the first movie is 20 years old damn how time fly's...
Vine Wood I know my maxima is already 20 years old had it for 10years people keep telling me to sell it upgrade to a Z g35 g37 q50 but I can't won't do it too much memory.
20 yrs damn man time flys
Thanks man! Not having a good week. I was fired on Monday after starting a new job. The reason was "parking in the wrong spot." A violation of company policy. Spent my entire working life striving for something better. Have an interview this coming Tuesday. Been feeling like shit. Thanks for this vid.
my first car was a 99 maxima from my pops. Ended up going through 3 of em. Amazing car all around, still my favorite looking sedan off all time
Wow! Used to love those styled Maxima's. That burn out was seriously impressive, it made it seem like that car had like 400+ to the wheels... Damn beautiful M3 as well.
I can't believe the Lexus GS was that close to having a small roll in the movie. But that max blended in well though. Thanks for the video.
Well yeah the GS was nice. In thr movie i did see 2 GSs rooling around tough.
They sprayed wd40 on the wheels so it would spin better
Man I had such a thing for this car. I had a '98 GLE. Aside from a transmission solenoid problem which made it hesitate badly when you tried to accelerate again before almost coming to a complete stop it was one of the sweetest driving cars I've ever had.
Did you ever fix that problem?
@@DigitalSubset No. ☹️ The transmission issue was actually getting worse so I sadly ended up trading it in for a 2003 Infiniti I35. I drive an '09 Camry V6 now that could probably smoke them both from a stop. 😂
Still love the 4th gen Maxima though. First car I ever totally fell in love with.
@@payrocoin Okay I don’t think mine has this issue then. I think I may need ignition coils and spark plugs she runs a bit rough
@@DigitalSubset @Digital Subset Not all 4th gens had that issue. Some Infiniti I30s suffered too because it was essentially the same powertrain. I did the stupid mistake of doing a transmission flush to it and I definitely hurt the tranny more. It began doing this weird cricket type noise under slow acceleration.
Yes, a bad coil would make it idle rough. I'd definitely change the spark plugs if you haven't already. I'd probably stick with the NGK platinum tips though and not go with something like Denso or NGK iridium. I'm sure you want more longevity over performance at this point.
Also, make sure to have the person changing the spark plugs check for fouling to better pinpoint any faulty coil. I remember paying like around $85 per coil back then.
@@payrocoin okay thanks🤝
I used to call that a “neutral drop” until I did it a few times. Than I called them “neutral bomb” cause it will grenade a transmission.
We used to do the reverse to first slam lol never had a trany pop.
When you dump it and suddenly all gears are neutrals
@@123499893 that's hilarious funny.....😂😂😂
Only if you do it hard enough repeatedly.
A GS400 with a turbo or nitrous would have been awesome. These Aristo bodies are getting popular again so I could only imagine the price tag if it were an F&F car.
I really thought about a GS300 that popped up on one of the lots I work at for $800. Rough but I had plans for a pseudo JDM rebuild going for a less US style luxury car vibe. So it didnt matter the leather was thrashed, I would have done a whole new cloth/velour interior that's more typical in the cars home market.
No joke most Honda's on the street in the 90s were afraid of these Maxima's they were quick out of the box!
Yukimasa Heppe hondas aren’t quick regardless
@@jmemphisTX no bs my friends Integra with a Jackson supercharger would beat mustangs and other v8s regularly. I understand that most Hondas do not have a racing supercharger but spend some time on the race/car scene and you will see Many very fast Hondas.
@@jmemphisTX Well depends what Honda we are talking about and under what circumstances...
I loved my 97 Maxima with a manual transmission. A buddy who was part owner of a race car said that he had never been in a car that physically abused him under acceleration like that one did. I chose not to mention the blown 302 Maverick that he wrapped around a telephone pole when he was a senior in high school.
I agree the GS probably would have fit Vince's character better
Might have made vip a little more popular aswell
Yeaah I agree !!!!I owne one ..my self!!!.love this car..
One of them should of had a Mitsubishi Evo VI. That could of been a better car for Jeese than a frickin Jetta. A Evo VI seem like it would fit right in with this movie.
GS's was banging in 00&01. I almost got one. Cost as much as rent payments.
Neil Dohi The only short apperance of the of the GS..was..inTran's garage...when Brian Torreto and vince broke in.....Harry....was driven this one...1:38.....ua-cam.com/video/g7ARxUBmPVg/v-deo.html

My brother has owned nothing but Maximas for 20 years. I have a '00 Maxima, with 5 speed (non-SE😕),18" rims and 1400 watt stereo. It has 200,000 miles. I've driven it more than 15,000 miles and it's just reliable AF!
My 2000 Maxima SE has 230,000 and i'm waiting for it to die so i can replace it. It looks like i'll be waiting a long ass time
If you also worked on other movie cars, please just keep them coming! Love your stories and thanks for sharing the details!!!
I love these little tidbit knowledge bomb episode's and especially the interviews. Thank you Craig for taking the time to share with us all. I hope you have at least half as much fun making them as we get from watching them! Oh, and if you do happen to read this, anything cool in the garage these days you can share with us? Thanks again brother, stay safe out there!
My last 2002 Maxima was really good to me I got it up to 500hp before I ended getting a newer car.
DEMWAYSNYC nice build bro
iOmarius ThaGhost! Thanks
I can’t get enough of this channel thanks so much for making these!! They’re literally answering all the questions I had from the movie
Fast and furious needs to bring you back to consult for them. Maybe the movies would actually be good again.
They only care about money and the system they have now is making a shit load of money
@@becraftcorey yeah I def understand that but they could bring back some aspects of the street racing world and still be just as popular because their fan base is so big and loyal. Plus read the comments on the trailer for Hobbs and shaw and look how many people are saying the cgi and over the top effects are garbage.
@@alaub1990 that may be true but again money talks the movie most about street racing way Tokyo drift and it preformed the worst if you look at all the movies the ones most about street racing did the worst the ones with all the stupid shit in them make over a billion they could give a shit about the fans also if you look at what street outlaws brings in as far as ratings its laughable the community is not big enough to support massive movies it worked in the first few films becuse it was a new concept and the same 100 people saw the first movie 15 times just look at all 8 movies and how much they mad it will make perfect sense until this new the rock type of movie stops making money thats what there going to keep making
Great choice on the Maxima for the film. With the 5-speed manual was a tuners car in its own right with Stillen adding a supercharger and other go-fast parts.
actually Garret and I did the audio install AFTER the movie was in the can and was getting ready for the premier, still have the promo posters somewhere with the title still as Red Line. Contrary to the Mobile Entertainment magazine article Garrett led the install and didn't work for the shop anymore when they called for the article. I remember I was rather pissed at the dated choices on trim panels backed by tweed that Garrett insisted on lol... I did all the wiring under hood and interior to the trunk, the dash work (hated those carbon fiber sticker kits SOOOO much lol), blue trim panels (around woofers and trunk lid), and power distribution... and put the voltage meter top from the capacitors on the trunk lid, also wasn't super proud of the carpet play station tray on the trunk lid but was a rushed last minute thing as time to red carpet was short. Garrett built and wired the amp racks and subwoofer enclosure and cut in the headrest monitors. This was my second "show car" after building the Wings West Prelude at another shop, think I was 20-21 y/o at the time. did the tangelo orange Focus and red civic that later became a hot wheel for wings west right after this and led those installs from start to finish when i was 21
Just finished watching the original F&F, took me so long to finally see it because I’ve always been embarrassed to watch it around my family lol. I’ve seen all of your videos beforehand so it was super fun to notice the things that you pointed out, great video man!
Joe Stacks
Well you and I know that but my family are not car enthusiasts and make fun of it lol. Seen it now tho and I really enjoyed it
That maxima burn out scene was the most impacting scene in the movie! My 12 year old self was in aw!
Loving these classic behind the scene stories and car facts
I dig this gen of maxima, probably the best one imo. Rims looked like really cool stock rims though. It's oddly fun listening to you spin tales cause your knowledge is very deep. Been bigne watching all of these vids. great work.
Those woofers are one of the few that can still hold their own today. They are not a DD 9500 but for SQ they are still hard to beat
I own a 2000 Maxima SE with a 5 speed. Been a daily driver for 18 years now, great car. Love it!
There’s a guy in Quebec, Canada builing a replica and following him, it seems pretty darn accurate to every aesthetic details!! Nice of you to feature the Maxima👍
Good video, I really like these, getting the information on what really was on the cars and not just speculation or anything like that.
Thanks for posting, I've always wanted to know more about this car. I daily a RWD 335i and I still refuse to let go of my '99 SE, I love the car too much. It was this one that really made me notice them as a kid, too.
This is so neat. Love having someone who was actually there talk about these cars. Legit.
I like the tuna here

Noone likes the tuna
4dscdriver yeah well I do
Car Nation Videos wotcho wotcho wotcho back
Kohan kye he was in my face
Car Nation Videos I’m in your face
The GLE trim is still my favorite trim. White exterior with black interior, sunroof and Bose audio system🥰
Bringing up John Tysseling’s name brought up memories. He was my first boss during my late teens and early twenties when I would work at the NY Renaissance Faire. I remember him saying he had one of the cars from this movie when I would talk about my Del Sol Si. I never saw it as it wasn’t in NY at the time.
It’s so cool that this was your daily
Man I miss the old Maxima when they were good cars
i miss the 2000's style so bad
I loved the first film, and still do, so so much. It was a big part of shaping my teen years getting into car modification and all that.
The thing I loved most about f&f was the fact it had all random cars like this, the Jetta etc.
The original ads for the 4th gen said timeless?
My Maxima accepts that challenge 😂
One of my favorite cars
Had a white ‘96 se back in the day. These cars were seriously slept on. It was quick and sounded great. Plus, the stock Bose system was amazing.
Dude I love these videos. Thanks for making them.
4:42 That sound allways make me get goosebumps, i really want a Tuned maxima irl
I had a 96 Maxima 5-speed. Loved that car.
I have this car it's fast.
Happy this video exists
Vince's 1999 Nissan maxima is clean as dope bruh___😁😁😁
a fucking nightmare. that line had me pissing my paints the way you said it. love ya man!!! great again
I remember here in the UK I had a Vauxhall Omega 3.0 V6 24v which was aimed at the Nissan Maxima/Toyota Camry and done the following:
4bar fuel pressure regulator
Iridium plugs
Cool running thermostat
The car stock pumped out 211hp but I had it on the dyno and at the flywheel put out 249hp.
I was really proud, nothing internal had been done at all.
Very cool! love those Maximas! I just had a 2000 i30, good 4 speed auto, great motor, rising rate fuel pressure used to be the way to go! none of this fancy smart-efi or pre-made maps with plug in harnesses, no sir!
Deffs one of my favorite video. Good format, footage and facts.
Just got back screaming through town in my 79 Rx-7 with my wife. What a blast. Have a great weekend Craig!
This car is what got me into my obsession with the 4DSC
Same here
ive been into maximas since i borrowed a friend's 95 with a 5 speed back in the day. ive had a pearl white 2002 SE 3.5 with a 6 speed now for almost 7 years and i want to keep it forever. it will get a newer 290HP VQ35 swap eventually :-) .....
I always liked the graphics of this car, those are sick. Time after the movie and seeing it every day I could replicate them in Corel and I still have it so one day I will put it on something. Thanks Craig !!
I see the Gran Turismo 2 game for the PS here very good choice of game brings many memories about playing that game, the car looks awesome too!.
Wow, sweet video! I remember seeing this car a few years back when I was visiting Ellingson car museum in Rogers, MN and young me totally freaked out seeing Vince’s maxima firsthand. Must’ve changed hands a couple times before ending up on the east coast. So cool to learn the whole history of this car!
This is probably my favorite car from the first movie. Its really cool and practical and can still turn heads.
I had a maxima just sold it too and didn’t even know it was in the movie 😂 great car did 3 cross country trips , also caught on fire and started right up after putting it out .
Never knew about the boot install I had the same Subs and Amp in one of my cars . Still have the amp in a box in the attic somewhere!😁😁
You can even see the car lurch as it upshifts to 2nd and then back down to first. I had a few of these in manual and auto form, they would light up the tires pretty well on their own for what they were
I love my 1999 Maxima. I have the 5 speed manual. It is blazing fast.
I have the i30 auto it's ok my ecelips gt was faster
If it wasn't fast, you shoulda listened to jesse. You woulda been running 9's apparently.
It's your fuel map, it's got a nasty hole. That's why you're unloading in third.
Just remember jonny had over a hundred grand under that s2000
First car I ever owned was a 2000 maxima, for $2000... Represent!!
I loved the noise it made sounds great 👍
So the funny part about this card of all the fast and furious cars is that it was the most relatable. Because you don’t always start with that car that you really want. Plus in New York City Maximus used to be super popular back then
Hey Craig, this car was in south east Michigan not long ago at an audio shop. Unfortunately the sweet side exit exhaust had been changed out to come out from the rear.
*"the traffic can be somewhat of a fucking nightmare..."* understatement of the century right there. Southern California traffic is hell. nothing less than hell.
I had one of those maximas with 170k miles.
99 maxima.
After some mantiance work and a full bushing replacement on suspension and some other small stuff, that thing was bullet proof. I handed it down to my kid who beat on it for a few more years. Then finally sold it for more then I bought it.
One of my all time fav cars I have owned.
The TSW Trophy wheels along with the MOMO IDEA are the legends in the aftermarket wheel world. Awesome ride.
Craig I gotta say this is when your videos had their best editing. Perfect amount of effects without being too much
I have a 97 Nissan Maxima SMX No# 68 of 120 ever built
I saw the car in Branson Missouri. Beautiful car!
This car has held a special place in my heart since I first saw it
My 97 GLE is one of the best cars Ive owned. Old school Nissans are tough little cars.
I never knew that this car was a manual and a tuner it’s pretty awesome maybe I get one someday if there still around
"Make your own damn popcorn"
_"Chilling out maxing and relaxing in the Maxima"_
What I like most about the first movie is that the dropped actual daily drivers in the film. This will never be replicated!
This man really just used all of his own cars for these movies, I love it
Before leaving cali my dad was stationed in Tustin for the marines. We lived in running springs/lake arrowhead. Yeah commuting for work in so cal really sucks
All this modification sounds so... 2000s and it's amazing, today most ppl do is take a nap
I've got a Gen 5 Max SE 6-Speed. That thing RIPS! It's awesome!
Thanks for all the info and work you put into your videos!
I had a 99 Maxima and trust me that thing on 100 shot surprised a ton of people. It was fun but the transmissions kept breaking and aftermarket parts were not cheap. Being only 20 at the time I only kept it 3 years but man I miss that car.
Thumbs up before I even watch cause I know it’s gonna be 🔥 lol and I finally got my self a Supra I guess all cause of you this movie made it my life goal it’s turbo rz rhd single turbo 1jz stroked
