Unless your Maxima has already been converted to standard struts, it would have the electronic shocks & struts in it. If so, replacing them is a massive project, just take it to a garage. I don't think the electronic shocks are still available (unless you find them on e bay). Most shops quote replacing the electronic shocks and struts as about 12 hours of work. Converting them to standard shocks/struts is a little less time consuming, but still a job that you really want an expert performing this operation. The conversion kits are getting hard to find, but they are still out there.
If your Maxima has already been converted to standard struts, the bolt/nut holding them in place is at the top. It's not easily accessible, but if you fold down the rear seat and go at it from inside the car it's not too hard to get at. Installing the new strut is a two person job. You need someone to hold the strut in place while the other person puts tightens the bolt/nut.
