PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT PICS SHOW WASHER FLUID RESERVOIR WAS TAKEN OUT. YOU DO NOT NEED TO TAKE IT OUT, BUT I LEARNED THAT AFTER I TOOK IT OUT & SINCE IT WAS MY FIRST TIME DOING IT
Instructions
1) Open plastic cover from underneath the car, like you would do to change the passenger side fog light.
2) Now check to see if you see wire circled in the photo. This wire is needed to make the sensor work.
3) Now test-fit the sensor tube with wire.
4) Ok now to make sure it works. You need another person to help you with this step. Connect sensor tube. Now find a water bottle and cut the top off like the above pic, & fill it with water. Now turn the car on & dip the sensor tube in a bottle full of water. Now have another person check to see if your washer fluid warning light comes on your dash.
5) Now that you checked that it works. Have a bucket underneath & unplug the tube shown in the photo to drain any washer fluid in there.
6) Now look closely at the bottom left of the reservoir & you should see a sketched circle where the sensor tube should be.
7) Now take a 1 inch or 1 1/4 inch wood boring bit (I think that’s what it’s called) & drill a hole where the sketched circle is on the reservoir. Should look like the photo below.
8) As you can see in the photo I didn’t have a perfect circle. Because I believe the 1inch bit was too small but I just went round & round to make the hole bigger. *Don’t make it too big & test fit tube if need to. Should be a TIGHT fit for the sensor tube.*
9) Once the hole is big enough. Put on rubber around hole that came with sensor tube.
10) Now insert the sensor tube. Should be a tight fit!
11) Now with some silicone put it around the edges of the tube you inserted. This is just for extra protection that it won’t leak.
12) Now get wire & plug it into sensor tube & your DONE!!!
**To be safe I didn’t re-fill my washer fluid reservoir for a couple of days. Just to make sure the silicone completely dried.**
Wishing everyone a very Happy & Healthy New Year. We will continue to bring you the most exclusive Nissan Maxima content. We will be officially doing more YouTube videos. Stay tuned.
Long gone are the days where you can build a car how you want it and not receive negative comments towards you and the car.
Buy a new exhaust? Too loud. Sounds like shit. Sounds like [insert instrument here]. Sounds slow. Why didn’t you go with ABC?
Post dyno numbers up? Fake numbers. You’re going to blow your engine up. Way underpowered. My car makes way more HP. Let’s race. Prove those numbers because they’re obviously fake.
Do some exterior/interior mods? HAHA! Wow that looks horrible. Why did you do that? Who does that to [insert your car here]?
There is no more respect in the car community. Everybody’s prerogative is to berate or throw negative comments at other people who are building/modifying/customizing their car to how they want it. They’re not customizing their car to make you happy.
If you don’t like what somebody posts up about their car, or shows off something they’ve done, why even comment? Why does it make you feel good to put other people down?
Why make remarks to make fun of somebody’s work? They probably thought about what they wanted to do, put in the time and money to do it, and now they have it.
It’s just a show of character on yourself when you can’t even say anything nice about what somebody has done.
It’s an equal show of your character if you make a react on a post that talks down or makes fun of somebody else.
Just let the person who is doing custom work be. Let them enjoy their car. No need to make stupid reacts to what he posts or berate/belittle them.
Be an adult. Act your age.
In the end, I’m going to continue to keep doing me, whether anybody likes it or not. I’m going to do what makes me happy, because in the end, being happy with whatever you decide to do with your car and your build is all that really matters. 💯

Maxima is the longest continuous running Nissan nameplate in the U.S., linking back to 1981, the year Maxima was first sold here.
As the flagship of Nissan’s vibrant sedan lineup, which includes the trio of recently redesigned Altima, Sentra and Versa models, Maxima continues to garner prestigious industry awards. In June, Maxima was named the top vehicle in the Large Car segment of J.D. Power Initial Quality Study for the third consecutive year. In July, Maxima led J.D. Power’s APEAL Study Large Car category, again for the third year in a row and 30 points ahead of the segment average. It has also achieved a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for five straight years1.
In addition to the 40th Anniversary Edition, the 2021 Maxima will be offered in SV, SR and Platinum grade levels – each equipped with a 300-horsepower 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 engine and Xtronic transmission.
The Original “4-Door Sports Car”
Today, Maxima is known for its premium level of luxury with performance and sportiness. For generations, before the arrival of diamond quilted Ascot leather-appointed seats, Satin Birdseye Maple wood finishers and 11-speaker Bose® Premium Audio system, it was simply known as the “4-Door Sports Car.”
Now in its eighth-generation, Maxima’s storied history as an authentic sports sedan goes back even farther to the Datsun Bluebird 810 of the late 1970s. The 1981 Datsun 810 – often described as a larger interpretation of the legendary Datsun 510 – was the first to carry the Maxima nameplate.
Dropping the 810 name, the true first generation Maxima featured the engine of the 240Z and a 5-speed manual transmission at a time when industry standard was a 4-speed box or less. Next came the second-generation 1985 – 1988 Maxima, which was the first to offer a V6 engine and front-wheel drive. It was the last to be available with a station wagon body.
The third-generation Maxima emerged in 1989 as the true 4DSC. Considered the best affordable sedan in the world by many, it was powered by a 160-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 and went head-to-head against European sports sedans in road test comparisons by leading automotive publications.
Not willing to rest on its laurels, the Nissan engineering team came back in 1995 with a larger body design and featuring a new engine, new rear suspension and 30 extra horsepower (190-hp). It was chosen as Motor Trend’s Import Car of the Year and was included on Car and Driver’s 10 Best list.
Three more generations followed quickly. The fifth-generation Maxima, introduced in 2000, received the legendary VQ35 V6 and a boost to 255-horsepower (from model year 2002). In 2004, the sixth-generation Maxima upped the luxury factor substantially. The seventh-generation added new aggressive styling to go along with the now-290-horsepower 3.5-liter V6.
In 2016, the current-generation Maxima debuted sporting the V-Motion front end and floating roof design. A minor facelift followed in 2019 with enhancements to its safety, security and connectivity technology.
Over four decades, Maxima has remained faithful to its heritage as a true performance sedan and brand flagship – as well as to its large owner base, which is among the most loyal among all Nissan models. With the addition of the special 40th Anniversary Edition, Maxima adds to its long history once again.
More information on the full 2021 Maxima lineup, including pricing and specifications, will be announced closer to its fall 2020 on-sale date.
We came across this 4thgen Nissan Maxima which was up for auction. It’s very rare to find a clean low mileage 4thgen Maxima in this condition. It was definitely work documenting for future reference.
Often times this water pipe will rust and break. Especially in areas of snow where salt is put on the streets. Below is the part number you need for replacing it.
Below is the wiper size chart for your Nissan Maxima. On my 2004 6thgen Nissan Maxima, I went with RainX Conventional Expert Fit wipers. I’ve included a photo below. They work well and got them both for around $18 bucks at Walmart.
