holy crap im surprised no one posted you an answer on this, this isnt safe at all!
IIRC your car should come with ABS standard, dunno whats up with your car though. Reason why i say it should have ABS standard because when i look up parts for our cars at work esp cv axles and other driveline/brake components i do not get an option for non abs equipped vehicles

I agree with you that the 2001 SE Maxima should come with ABS standard. I have a car dealer appointment to see what happened for the ABS system. By the way, would you mind taking a look under the hood on the drivers side right in front of the battery? There should be a relay box. On top of the cover should indicate what are the relay uses? For exmaple, ABS motor, ABS actuator, radiator fan, etc. Can you open the relay box and see if the positions are filled with these relays?
I appreciate your help!

Nissan Maxima SE ABS
I've also been thinking about this.
First thing I would do is check your computer to see if there are any stored codes. Did you buy your car from a private party or a dealer? The abs light should come on when you turn the key to ignition on. Maby somebody disfunctioned the abs and removed the bulb from the instrament cluster. Not a good idea but I've done this on a lexus before and all it did was make the brakes function like a car that never came with abs. Good luck and let us know what you find.

There are no self test ABS diagnostic after start up. I am familiar with the ABS self test sound since I do have different Nissan vehicles in our family.
What's the other possibility that the ABS light never comes on?
I appreciate your input.

Yes, I do have ABS solonoid and ABS motor fuse in the fuse box on the left side of the battery. I am talking about the one black relay box front side of Battery. It should be said ABS actuator, ABS motor, radiator fan and so on.
I appreciate your input.

Do the MAF and take it from there. If it is still acting up, do the ECM update.
Try sanding them first, if that doesn't work, look for some cheap used housings (www.car-part.com, on here, eBay, www.pinnaclenissan.com, Dave Burnette, etc) . You have an 02 so you can still retain the HID's, meaning all you need is the housing.

So I guess my question is if all capsules are the same wattage? If so I don't think it should be a problem. I'm sure someone here has replaced capsules, so I'm guessing this is possible.

usually MAF problems are because they are going out...not dirty.

Made my own from Home Depot.
I bought commercial grade carpet runners (usually made for hallways) with a rubber backing. Traced the factory mats, but cut the carpet slightly bigger for the added protection.
Singed the edges with a lighter, and if you want it to conform to the contours of the floor you can heat it with a heat gun and while still warm place it in its desired location, but it will eventually place itself and form to the floor.
Works great for me, and also matches the interior.

I know this has been discussed a lot, but i havent found quite what i was looking for. If i missed it im sorry. I Have a 2002 and my maf went out, after some reading i decided to replace it with one from an '01 (2y001 or something like that) The car runs now, but I feel like I have lost A LOT of power on the lower end. I have asked dealerships but of course they tell me it's because I have the wrong sensor in. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it possible to just get my ECU reprogrammed? Everyone else has said it worked like a dream but i was left happy because my car was ruinning again but very pissed off when i really step on the gas. any help would be great!

I have a 2002 GLE and my driver side windshield washer nozzle does not spray near as well as the passenger side... the pressure is very low compared to it. Could this be a pump problem or do i need a new nozzle? I really hate to take it in to the shop to have this looked at. But with the snow flying and the salt hitting the road i need to fix this one ASAP. Thanks

IIRC clean it with a pin used by tailers to keep a hem of a pair of pants up. They are the really thin ones.
If you do replace them, you may want to replace them with Nissan Murano nozzles. They are fan spray, insead of stream.

Does anybody know, if it is possible to swap in an R33 RB26DETT motor into a 2000 Maxima GLE? If it is would it be possible to swap the differential as well, so that it would be all-wheel drive?
And I want to know if any companies make polyurethane body kits for the 5th gen maxima?

Yes, this question has been asked about 3 million times before.

Probably be more cost effective to find a totaled G37 and snag that motor, transmission and wiring harness for a swap. 85 hp more than stock right off the bat.

Are you talking about fuse box left side of battery?
Yes, I do have ABS solonoid and ABS motor fuse in the fuse box on the left side of the battery. I am talking about the one black relay box front side of Battery. It should be said ABS actuator, ABS motor, radiator fan and so on.
I appreciate your input.

Yeah basically I just want to see how it looks with the oem headlight capsules, want to compare, I may just go alone with trying to clean them up, but want to try the stock bulbs. Oh and by the way I didn't buy the projector headlights, just the stock looking ones with phillips HIDs, kind of like these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-03...QQcmdZViewItem
So I guess my question is if all capsules are the same wattage? If so I don't think it should be a problem. I'm sure someone here has replaced capsules, so I'm guessing this is possible.
