Wirth enough common sense, this should help get you there.

Or like this, but again, tailor your intake to the one pictured. http://www.geocities.com/nismorg/Maxima/cai.html

Not hard, very easy.

That is a breather tube for the auto tranny. You did fine.


I always wondered that little nippah on top of that breather tube was for (mines an 03)

if you were able to put those 3 vaccum hoses on the berk then you did fine. rremember that the big vaccum hose will often slip off so buy a small clamp for that to keep it tight. dont overtie it because that will break the hose when the temprature is high. and about that sensor check this thread http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=507207 because i had the same question when i first installed the berk. you should leave that sensor in the air scope if not then you have the option to ziptie that sensor.

EDIT: if the car runs fine after the installation then dont worry about that sensor or any tube/wire. as long as you dont have the SES light or hesitation of idle etc.
what year is your car it seems 2k maxima to me.

Your MAF housing is too small, and the lack of headers is disturbing.

I must admit...my engine isn't perfect, but I'd bet my first-born that he'd gain an easy ~10 WHP just by cleaning that bay!
