The starter is on the driver's side under the intake manifold. If you need additional help locating it, look for the fuel filter on the firewall and the starter will be in front and below it.
Look at 'where is the starter in a 1998 Nissan Maxima';
find your air filter on the driver's side of the car and follow the black tube to the metal that has the throttle cable attached to it. that's your intake manifold. look under that. The starter looks like 2 cylinders, slightly smaller than a soda can.
Look for a removable housing at the engine end of the upper radiator hose

it's under the dash on the passenger side. you'll have to look up under the dash. i had to change out the blower motor relay on mine. it would only blow on speed 4.
The starter solenoid is attached to small bracket attached to the starter which is bolted to the engine block, located on the driver's side in between the block and the brake fluid master cylinder. Just stand over the engine there and look down. It's a little smaller than a can of tomato paste.
Look at the lower rear end of the engine
look by passenger tire by oil filter
its under the hood next to the engine.(yes) if your looking at the car standing in front of it it'll be on the right side of the engine. you have to look down (not underneath) close to the transmission. The starter has a solenoid coil attached to it. The starter itself is only connected to the engine by two bolts. The first one in plain sight and the second one behind the starter. dont forget to remove battery terminals before touching the starter because your going to have to remove the positive terminal and bolt that connects to the starter after the two bolts holding it in place
Look at the lower rear end of engine
look for the positive wire on the batt. & follow it it should take you directly to the starter !!
