When installing racing seats in a 6th generation Maxima, there are two issues to be dealt with in order to clear the airbag light. The first is the occupancy sensor which can be removed from the original passenger seat and plugged into the car and rolled up so that it is always sensing someone in the seat. The alternative is to install the sensor in the existing seat that you installed. I am going to look into this because I am considering removing the heating elements from my original Seats and installing them in my Recaro seats.
The second issue of course is that there are airbags that will be disconnected from each seat and a 1/2 Watt 4.7 ohm resistor across the terminals of the connectors will trick the computer into thinking that there is an airbag hooked up. That way all the other air bags will be armed and should deploy normally in the event of an accident. Of course if you install Maxima Seats from a different model car, then it may be possible to simply plug in the air bag from the seat if it has one.
