air intake temp sensor. The STillen/JWT units have an opening for it since these are made specific to the Maxima. the generic ones are, well... generic.

To the right of the intake is the metal housing for the driver's side from strut. A small "L" bracket can be bolted directly on the side of that by using the existing bolt. Then, bolt the sensor to that, using the original assembly from the stock air box. It looks stock & everyone is none the wiser. The air temp will be registered at the location next to the cone and will not cause emission problems. Good luck.

for the price you're paying for the OBX why not spend less and get the JWT that is made for the max...why have to mod something when you can get one that work....for less even..

Just find a place near the intake to mount the sensor. It's not like moving it six inches from where it originally was is going to ruin its function.

mine didnt

I have a JWT intake and it did not come with a place to mount the temp sensor. I just zip-tied it near the filter and it worked fine. Last time I was at the dealer, the guy told me that the temp sensor was designed to read flowing air, not ambient temp. So I drilled a hole in the end of the intake and mounted the sensor. Not hard at all, and it looks like it was meant to be there.
