I want replace my plugs and wires in my 93 max, but now I hear that the max doesn't use wires. Ok, I hear people talking about after market wires, what are they talking about?
Thanks
Jay

89-91 se's have wires
92-94 se's do not
89-94 gxe's have wires...

you should see the plug wires when you pop the hood, if you have an SE then don't worry about them

Thanks Chirs! Thats exactly what I needed. Now, anyone have any plugs they recomend? I hear alot about NKS (I think). Also, on a 93 SE, how hard is it to get to the two plugs by the exhaust manifold? I found the front 3, but where are the back ones?
Thanks
Jay

not sure since i have the VG but as far as plugs go...stick with OEM...they're manufactured by NGK anyway

The stock "OEM" spark plug wires are not manufactured by NGK. They are manufactured by "Yazaki" which is a Japanese company that also makes a lot of the "wiring harnesses" found on the Maxima.

I bought a set of Magnecor wires, will this not function as well as stock wiring? or will it not matter?

Magnecor wires are excellent, probably better than stock, or NGK. I don't know if you'll notice any difference though.

Spark Plugs

Look on the intake tubes going into the engine and
you will see the top of the rear spark plug coils.
There will be 2 (8 or 10mm I can't remember) bolts
holding them in remon=ve the coils and get a long
socket extension to remove the plugs. As far as plugs
stick with NGK.
