cylinder/tube in trunk
I want to know if I can remove this thing?, whats its purpose? (I'm sure everybody knows what part I'm talking about), reason I ask is that I'm buling a sub box and would like it to fit against the rear seat not 1 inch from it

Its just dead weight used for dampening resonance in the rear structure of the car and a counterweight. Go ahead and pop that 22 pound bad boy outta there.
Just don't attempt to open it.....bad things will happen.

When you pull the nuts off, just make sure you hang onto the studs or they will fall beneath the car and leave open holes in the floor pan. It is a very tight sqeeze to get them back up into the hole from underneath the car....I ended up having to leave the ones I dropped out. If you have some rubber plugs that will fit, then let the studs fall and just pop the plugs in.

Our New Zealand gen3 Maximas dont have it at all, but then we got fold down rear seats, so I guess if it was there it would get in the way.

Thats alright man I had never heard of it until I saw CMax03's and asked him what the hell was that? Then he looked at me and said I should have the same thing. I quickly replied with know I don't. So your not the only one.

The fold down seat hinges are bolted to the body and are independant from the rest of the seat back which is mounted to the car in the normal manner. Most New Zealand assembled Nissans of the 80's and 90's had fold down seats (Bluebird, Maxima, Sentra/Sunny range), our 4th gen Maximas have them too.
Im sure I have seen a pic of a US 2nd Gen Maxima with fold down seats, so if you could find some in a car, im sure most of the parts would be usuable. Got pics of how it works, if your interested.

I would love to talk to a Nissan engineer who worked on these cars and see what he has to say about why they added this thing in in the North American models. Are Americans more susceptible to chassis resonance than New Zealanders?

We even got 5kw (127kw) more power than the Australian Maximas (122kw), which like the US models were Japanese assembled. If fact, New Zealand was the first country in the world to assemble Maximas locally outside of Japan. This was so Nissan NZ could offer a greater number of trim levels to appeal to a wider range of buyers.
