Incabin Micro Filter

[T88turbo]

Where would the micro filter for the A/C be located in the cabin?

It's just behind the glovebox. If you haven't changed it, change it now! Mine was filthy. I got mine for $46 from Nissan spares.

i cant find the filter!

do you have have to remove the glove box itself?if so how is it done without damaging the draw-string on the righthand side?

i have taken off the bottom plastic cover which holds the red distress flare among other things but i still cant see anywhere it could be positioned...

anyone interested in getting one:i purchased mine from spare parts at randwick nissan for $48

the filter can fit around a dozen nissan veichles so they are allways in stock.

Yes you do need to take out the glovebox. It sits behind there. See here for a good guide on how to do it properly - http://g35ipod.com/installHW.php?skin=1

Remember that guide is for the LHD G35.

Found some pics I had of where it is and look at the difference between old and new filters on my car at 14500KM.

Be careful with the latch on the door that holds the filter, somehow i broke it...

that's horrible!

did you notice any difference once changing the filter?

i mean, as much as it looks horible, does changint it do anything? a dirty filter is going to filter even more thoroughtly if you ask me because it will let nothing through!

changing the filter might affect the humidity in the car - making it less humid because more air is flowing in/out..

Didn't really think about it that much! At first I thought it was one of those carbon filters being that black, but no that's all crap that got stuck. I changed it because my battery had leaked when I first got the car and I had a rotten egg type smell throughout and so I changed the filter in hopes of getting rid of the smell which went away shortly after.

Also it's kinda loose in there so i really didn't want any of that crap circulating.

Nice,

Good work Skizo

i need to change mine cause the air con smell is not so good.

the filter was replaced in japan as they left a sticker (which comes with the new filter) saying when it was done.

not surprisingly the filter sticker reads 54000 kms (when it was changed) and the digital tacho reads less....

skizo,im sure your car has done more than 14000 kms (and everyone else's,unless u have original log books)

guess they still love winding back the clocks on imports-not sure if its done before auction in japan or if the aussie dealers over here do it?......grrrrrrrrrrrrr

that means we will have to change the timing belts way earlier than what the tacho reads or we could be in for some trouble.

thanks heaps for the pics but!!!

Maybe - but I like being naive and I don't want to think about that. All I can say is that when I got my car everything was in absolute M I N T condition, and I am very very picky about these things. There's also a few other things that happened in Japan with my car that makes me believe the KM's are genuine but that is a long story.

you could be right-but mine is also in mint condition.

our cars have the best engine voted last year so mechanically we are ok.but the timing belt is something you cant be naive about.if it snaps you are in for alot of repair bills.

my mate imports cars into australia and he tells me that since going from analogue to digital tachos they have been able to figure out how to wind them back.

Now they just need a laptop with a cable insted of having to pull the whole cluster out...

[-= SKiZO =-]

I'd love to see a timing "chain" snap.

I'm also very interested to find evidence of a program which will rejig the KM. I've heard rumours also, I'd just love to see some evidence that it is as commonplace as you are inferring and very interested in the procedure too. Can you find out for me?

its very common practice for imports out of japan-it has been for many many years.

im sure it uses a belt and not a chain as thats what all the previous rb20/25 det sr20det engines have used.

check the below for what appears to be an upgraded filter for the g35 USA market: charcoal filter!

hope it is avaliable in australia too.

my filter was even dirtier than the above posted pictures!

I have heard roumours of turning back odometers as well. The Japanese auction houses must be aware also as they put a question mark against cars which they think are questionable. I think the best way to check is to see if oxidation has occurred on aluminium engine components (such as the ABS module) because the heat under the bonnet causes oxidation more rapidly than when cool. So a 4 year old car with low kms should have less oxidation than a 4yr old high km car; as well as the other tell tale signs such as gear knob, brake discs, bodywork etc.

Anyway the engines are so good what harm is an extra 50,000km going to do; as long as you don't know about it!!!

There not rumours guys... I know personally people that can and will wind back digital speedo's (on "ANY" car) dont think for second that just because they are digital people havent found ways around them.

exactly right

so these peoples you know-are they australian by chance??

or japanese...

[Beer Baron]

haha, digital speedo is no problem. don't forget japanese cars have had digital odometers since the early 90s/late 80s even. so it's hardly new. my 1993 soarer has one. and people selling cars at auction have been winding back speedos to get a higher grading for many, many years.

skizo, if you bought a car, with 14,000kms without log books then I can almost promise it has many more kms and probably more than one owner. there are often some clues as to car history, but the only proof is log books. doesn't mean you didn't get a really nice, mint condition car though.

I just owned a 1993 R32 GTR. this thing was immaculate. looked as good or better than some crazy 40 or 50,000km 32 GTRs I've seen. I mean it was like a trip back in time to 1993. window seals all good, steering wheel not worn at all. seats nice, suspension good, no rattles etc etc. but it had 100,000kms... and yes it had books for those kms, but without the books it could probably pass for a car with 50 or 60,000kms.

[-= SKiZO =-]

Yep you are right Richard - but c'mon guys let's keep this thread on track.

Start a new thread to talk about winding back digital speedos.

You can call it - "WE ARE ALL f**kING JEALOUS c**ts!!!" :laughing-smiley-014:

ha ha nice one skizo

on the relevant topic of the incabin micro filter..

nah you cant reuse or clean them-its not like one of those oiled air filter kits.

just grab one from nissan they are less than 50 bucks.

the usa infiniti dealers have a charcoal filter version which is better

Sorry, just new to the forum. Is that the Nissan Part number in the picture? Went to Nissan the other day with the old filter and showed it to them (no PN on the filter). They asked for the VIN number - I gave them all the numbers I could find including Chassis, engine and trans axle, only number missing was my fax number . The parts guy still couldn't figure it out, says there were 3 PN coming up in the system so now he wants the part number.

Thanks.
