Uhhh, do you mean replace a part on an existing ABS equipped maxima, or retrofit a non-abs car with an ABS system?

if you mean to go from scratch and install an ABS system, don't even think about it. you have to completely redo the entire brake system, including run new hard lines through the entire car.. the abs pump is located in the front right corner of the car where your radiator resivoir is located now.. cars with abs have them relocated by the battery on the other side fo make room for the abs pump..

that's not to mention all the extra wiring involved.. you have to install sensors on every wheel and a computer that runs the entire system.. it's a nasty mess.
