My son and I watched this video, figured we'd give it a shot, and just finished. His '98 i30 starts again! Thank you.
Thanks. Just watched your video. Went out and replaced starter on 1996 Maxima 173k miles. What a piece of cake. Your video made it very easy. Started right up. Thanks again
Glad to help, Andre. Cheers
Awesome video! saved me $300+ and guided me clearly and effectively the whole way through. Never changed a starter before myself on my 98 Max but there was never a point in this video which baffled me.
Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks, Eric. Glad to help out. Cheers
Now this is how you make a step by step how to video, you did a great job going into detail. Even though replacing a starter isn’t too hard. Well appreciated
I took back the re-manufactured starter and it failed on his bench. I bought a brand new starter. Installed it, and it works like a champ.
Lesson learned: Pay a few dollars more from the git go and save yourself from a headache and a waste of time with re-manufactured crap!
Thanks for your help!
Thank you!!!!!!!! I will be doing this exact repair on my Dad's 97 Maxima this weekend! I will be bringing my laptop with your video pulled up out to my garage for guidance!!! You are awesome!
+gojiragirl69 Awesome! Glad to help

djdon juan Awesome man. Glad to help out. Cheers
I really enjoy your videos... they're very helpful and I'm sure a lot of folks appreciate your help!
Hey, hope you read this. You really helped me out. The tip about using the socket and extension for leverage made getting that 17mm off sooo easy.
Thanks again. My Infiniti starts like a dream now.
Glad to help!
I got the car started up. took a little long 2 do it but got the job done. I appreciate the help
Awesome, Ktray. Glad to help. The next time I come across replacing the starter solenoid I"ll shoot a vid. Cheers
Your guide saved me a bunch of money on labor for my replacement, you're awesome for taking the time to do this!
+zebaneighba Cheers
I really appreciate videos like yours. Save a lot of money at dealerships and give us handyman non mechanics more knowledge! Thanks again!
Glad to help.
Thanks so much. This couldn't have been any better. Saved me a lot of time.
Excellent! You can't ask for a better demonstration then that!
I just got done changing out the starter on my wife's I30. Watching this video before tackling the project helped me know what to expect. Good job.
Whats the difference between i30 and i35 any diffenence?
Excellent work man! A big thanks to you for the walk though!
Glad to help, Mark. Cheers
Excellent. Very clear and super helpful.
Thanks, Greg. Glad to help. Cheers.
Your video saved me a lot of time and a lot of money. Thanks very much for posting this series!! Fantastic!
Happy to help!
Being my first starter on a nissan, I was afraid it was going to be one of those pains, but you reassured me and for that I can sleep better tonight as I'm putting a starter in my partner's car tomorrow.Thanks man! Be well!
Glad to help, Steve. Cheers.
So what happen?
worked like a charm, 30 minutes to remove and 30 minutes to reinstall and check all connections... Car starts great!
Awesome! Glad it worked out.
Thanks so much for this great video. With your help I saved myself about $500.
Glad to help.
Thank you so much bro for this video. The way you explained everything helped me out so much to do the starter. You are the best car guy on CZcams.
Dave Bermudez Thanks man. Appreciate it!
Thanks, Tom. Glad to help. Cheers.
Thanks, Detin8r. Glad to help. Cheers.
Thanks, just saved bunch of money using this to fix my brothers 1998 i30. The shop wanted $450 for a starter and battery. We fixed it in the parking lot after the shop closed for $200.
Billy Enforcee Good stuff man. Glad to help out!
Great demo and step by step instructions.
Thanks Bart. Glad to help.
Awesome video and very precise. I appreciate your time and help.
Glad to help!
great job with explanations and different camera angles and putting things in lamans terms.
also the battery terminal to the starter terminal with multimeter was reassurance that I appreciated that i was on the right path with bad starter diag.
first starter I've ever tried to do
Good stuff. Glad to help!
Thanks, bmobb. Glad to help. Cheers
Great video. Very helpful.
Thanks for posting this! I'm not a mechanic at all, but with your help through this video, I was able to change my starter.
Glad to help, Dwells. Cheers
Excellent work professionally done!
I'm in the appliance repair game and I watch A LOT of repair vids on here - some professional some... funny? Your work is very good clear concise instruction without being over technical or skimping on the details (the extended wrench trick I learned is VERY useful for appliance repair THANKS!), good camera work too!
Your a great Teacher I look forward to watching more of vids!
Awesome video, very descriptive!
Glad to help. Cheers
Very detailed great job 👍
I watched your video, went out and did it.
Great detail, great help.
Thank you
Love your videos man. Thanks!

Good video. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers very much , Life saver for me with that dam starter motor , Made it simple watching this , Have a Merry Christmas 👌👍
Good stuff and Merry Christmas!
Glad you were successful. Cheers
Thanks for the comprehensive vid! I'm going to replace the starter in my friend's 2001 Maxima tomorrow. It's a huge help to know exactly what it entails in advance. For starters (no pun intended), I would have assumed it was accessible from underneath the car after replacing the starter on my old Nissan 240SX years ago. Also, I wouldn't have known about all the air intake stuff... which would have sucked! (pun totally intended). Thanks again!
+MonkyMonk729 Glad to help. cheers
"Thanks," CarsNToys..... I really appreciate your input. I guess, I will be looking into it as soon as the sun comes up in the morning. I will be using this video to help. You make it look easy enough for a woman like myself to accomplish! :-)
Glad to help. Just take your time and you'll be successful. Cheers.
Awesome man....Thanks very much!
thanks it worked out like a charm!!!!
Good video. I will replace the starter next weekend.
Thank you
thanks you so much for this! going to do it tomorrow :)
No problem, Mariah. Glad to help
Very informative thanx
Very informative video, great detail on each step
+Jacob5689 Thank you
Thank you for the great, nice and slow, informative video. - Now if I could just figure out how to hook every thing back up! THANKS TO ALL YOU GEAR HEADS for posting you vids for amateurs (rank in might add) like me.
Jay Reese Glad to help, Jay
Fantastic video! So glad I found you doing the R & R on the I30 Starter. How about a video on the Rear Coil Packs?
Thanks for the informational video. Helped out with a quick change over. Only broke two screws in the air cleaner box. Lol
Jayson Wilson Glad to help
I did a Nissan infinity and the air cleaner was removed but it was a model that required going under and removing a metal bracket that seemed like a junction point for all the vacuum tubes. it looked like a motor mount but only had two bolts at the bottom and 2 smaller nuts higher up on the engine. the starter was disconnected and slipped out easily from the passenger side and went back in reverse. great vid for accessing the top starter bolts.
which is it a nissan or a infiniti
thanks! changed my starter last night with this video...first time for me doing a starter. That 17mm bolt was so over torqued I had to practically sit in the engine compartment with my feet against the inside of the car and pull. lol....that one bolt took me longer to get loose than the whole rest of the job did. either way, thank you man!
lol Yea, that happens. Glad to help!
Thank you very much great video
Glad to help, Ben. Cheers
Sounds like the reman starter gear wasn't engaging the flywheel. Glad it worked out. Cheers!
Great video!!! Thanks!!
Thanks, Marsbrook1. Appreciate it. Cheers.
Looks like the same starter. If you just pulled it out for the video, great job man anyways. Very helpful.
7UpYors Thanks
Nice Watch!
Thanks, Rottweiler1080p. Appreciate it!
I took my car into get an alignment done and when I went to pick it up, the starter wouldn't work. Tried to boost...but the battery wasn't the problem. I live in Yukon (north of Juneau, capital of Alaska)...it is -9 degrees F (-23 C) and in the morning I will head down to the alignment shop parking lot where my car is stuck and see if I can get the starter replaced (outdoors unfortunately). Your video was great...I have the process memorized. If I don't freeze, I owe you a beer.
Just a quick thought: Place the tranny in neutral and try starting the car. If the car starts, then you'll need to replace the neutral safety switch. If it doesn't then the starter should be the problem. Good luck! Cheers.
Hi kcebrian. It's similar but not exactly the same. Start by disconnecting the negative power terminal at the battery. Remove all electrical connections at the starter. Unbolt the starter from the vehicle. I believe on the early Altima's you have to jack up the car to get to the starter. Hope this helps. Cheers.
Great video! I like the socket and extension as a breaker bar, I used a long extension from the 17m bolt head and used the rubber side of a hammer to steady my ratchet against the body of the Nissan, then used my hydraulic jack pipes to to extend the ratchet! Not a lot of wiggle room there!
Good stuff!
Excellent video...the pace and detail was perfect. The diy breaker bar saved me a ton of time and effort. Daughter's car is alive again.
Hell yeah , thank you so much
Cheers!
good viseo/ this job is simple one word of advice my starter had never been removed i had to place pentrant on the larger bolt. also had to use a 1/2 inch drive ratchet i broke the 3/8 in haft the larger bolt is very hard to break lose i used a breaker bar for wheel hubs a regular rathet will only makea long day for you.
Thanks! I watched this video few times when I wait the new starter from amazon, and replace it without any problem! Great help! Thanks very much! My 99 maxima still have EGR issue, can u a similar video on how to clean EGR valve? Seems it is more difficult than replacing starter!.
Thank you
Glad to help.
do you have a video on tensioner pulley/ idler pulley replacement on these 4th gen Maxima your starter video as I commented the other day was so well done and that was my first starter job ever.
thanks for the video
Glad to help. I'll have an idler pulley video soon.
You're welcome, Dinesh. Cheers.
Gr8, video for my reference.
my sons car , my old car , 2001 maxima just today he called me saying it wouldn’t start. I drove out to him nearby home. I gave the starter solenoid a few light taps with. Pry bar. And it started right up.
My next repair now is. Starter install . The part has lifetime warranty on it so part is free.
Just last weekend I put in a new o2 sensor, b2s2 (p0160 code).
Keep the receipt for the starter. I installed one with a lifetime warranty as well and it failed after five years. The part store handed me a new one with no questions asked. Cheers.
@@CarsNToys yep, the autoparts (AutoZone) store keeps all the parts I buy in their computer system. other paces I get my parts from are online and I keep eReciepts from RockAuto or eBay.
Thanks bro!!
+Latinlover1975 Welcome!
Very thorough with both disassembly and reassembly, thank you! Also appreciate the tips on other things to look for but I do want to ask what contact point you made with the multi-meter. Was it the terminal where you removed the nut? I couldn't quite tell as the boot was in the way a little bit. Next, great idea for the "homemade" breaker bar. Finally, I kept worrying about your watch getting scratched. I'm a bit clumsy in tight spaces so I'll be taking mine off for sure since I know I'd wind up scratching the hell out of the crystal ;) Cheers and thanks, again for this as I need to dive into my 2001 asap and wasn't sure what I was in for.
Thanks to you, I could replaced myself with the help of great friend.
Glad to help, Nirdesh! Cheers
mister i will say thank you thank you very much ,,,, you have made a great video,,,,my maxima 1996 250.000 km don´t want to start,,,tomorrow the new starter will come and I can replace it,,,,, greetings from germany have a nice day+++sorry for my bad english+++
Hello Lars! Thanks for commenting. Glad to help. Cheers
I have a 2001 Nissan Maxima 3.5. There are 2 cables to the starter. One has a round hole and the other is horse shoe shape.
Which one goes where?
Awesome video. Thanks so much.
This was brilliant, thank you! I have now successfully removed and replaced my starter, all by myself. Although, fat load of good it did me - thing still won't start... But again, thank you for a fantastically super-instructive video!
Hi, First off great vid, detailed & easy to follow....So I replaced started & now it cranks but won't start.....could I've done something wrong when installing?
Hi Jon. Still having trouble? Send us an email to carsntoyshelp@gmail.com
Please provide the year, make and model of your vehicle.
Great video!!! Walked me right through the replacement of the starter on my 99 maxima. Thanks!!!!
Sorry to bug ya with a request but I have a new trouble cod popping up now. P0400. Was hoping you could post a video or maybe just email some tips/solution to this problem. Thanks in advance if you can help if not thanks for this video on replacing the starter.
By the way my name is will not Yadira. This is my sister in-laws account. Thanks again.
***** That's a trouble code for the EGR function. I have a video on testing the EGR valve. Just search my page it's quick and easy.
Just followed your video I can't even change a light bulb but I changed my starter. Thanks
Great demo god bless u for sharing
I sure will the next time I come across it. Cheers.
thanks dude is works !
Chaflan Villa Good stuff man
Did you check if voltage was getting to the starter? Also check the neutral safety switch. I just uploaded a video showing how to replace the sensor.
Also can you post a video on replacing a solenoid valve on the Nissan maxima? greatly appreciated
This video help a lot on replacing the starter but, I have one question about the starter terminal. I put the terminal on the starter, washer and nut. Then the other end of that same line was loose and disconnected. Where's the other end go on that same line? I appreciate the help.
Great video for removal and installation of starter. There was no discussion of the original problem that was diagnosed as a bad starter. On many of these Maxima's, the starter is locked out by the OEM alarm system. When the key is turned, the car does not start. There is a click inside the dash, which I suspect is the kill switch locking out the starter. How did you diagnose your problem as a bad starter vs. a bad alarm system?
