Windshield washer nozzle pressure
Mine seems to be quite a bit lower than the other cars I've driven. And temperature seems to really affect it. On really cold days, it's less pressure than when it's not too cold.
Is weak windshield washer nozzle pressure a Maxima thing?

I got my car in the spring and througout the summer it seemed fine, it might just be me, but I think the pressure has decreased in the winter too. Nothing to get worried about though.

But again, is it just me, or do the Maxima nozzles just have less pressure?

Try sticking a thumbtack or needle into the nozzle to adjust the aim of them. I have a set of picks in my tool chest that I use.

If the screen inside has failed or fallen off inlet tube, the lines may be plugged. if so, you will have to remove lines from nozzles and pump, and flush with pressurized air.
Clean nozzles with a small pin. Car wax can get in them. Replacement nozzle are $10-20 (non OEM).
You can re-aim them. Read manual.
If they had more pressure, they would pee all over the top of roof, or shoot inside the an open sunroof.
When all else fails, replace pump. Should be ~$20.00.

They totally suck. Ever seen other car's? It's so much better. Any other car. Nissan uses the cheapest spray system I have ever seen. I had a Ford Tempo when I was younger and it would spray out of one hole. It would spray very quickly back and fourth so the entire window would get sprayed. The wiper would move at a speed for the sprayer to work best.
I feel your pain.
When I am not moving, it sprays above my car. When I'm going 80 it sprays below the wipers.

my only complaint about the nozzles is that they shoot in a tream instead of a spray.

Re: Windshield washer nozzle pressure
One thing I noticed is that the intensity of the nozzles seems to be directly affected by the amount of fluid in the tank. The lower the fluid, the more wimpy the squirt. When the tank is completely full, it gives a nice, heavy spray.
