Because Nissan mechanics don't know the difference between a spark plug and their asses. Ask them to dig out the Nissan Service manual for the 1996 maxima engine and look it up. Then yell at them for having to come back twice becuase they are idiots.

Your Maxima does have a Knock Sensor. There must have been some miscommunication. Go back and ask to speak to their lead technician. He will surely know.

Here's how to locate your Knock Sensor. Raise the hood. View the engine from the driver's fender. Look into the deep valley between the cylinder banks and below the intake manifold. Identify the KS as a black item fastened to the block by a single vertical bolt. A wire harness wrapped in black leads toward you, out of the valley. That is the KS sub-harness.

There is a good photo of the Knock Sensor in the Haynes repair manual on page 6-16.
