make sure the vehicle it comes off of is the same 'state" version as
yours.

There are '49 state" and "Ca " versions,,,different number of 02
sensors (at least on my 2000 that is).

Otherwise it should be OK,,though I welcome comments on that
statement.

You can replace the ECM with a salvage yard unit but you will need to have
all the key reprogrammed to this ECM
or the vehicle won't start.

question on programming keys.  -  Does it need to be done by a dealer or can
I DIY?

I thought the anti-theft (programmed key) was a 99 and onwards Model
year thing... I don't think it's there in the 97.

Yup. 99 Maximas were the 1st to have a chipped key alarm system.
