Diy - Changing Airfilter

[n15m0]

Just thought this might be useful. I replaced mine today after refering to the video courtesy of G35driver.com

They are not as straightforward a replacement as my 34 but nevertheless...pretty easy once u get the hang of it.

Cabin filter replacement which I haven't attempted yet

Mods feel free to sticky this under the hot topics thread.

Am doing my cabin filter this week. I bought an ex smokers car and am trying to rid the interior of the smell. They are $115 +tax from Nissan Aust but only about $50 AUD from USA if you have them post it to you. My filter was absolutely black and the local Nissan parts manager suggested that I have a go at cleaning it first. Soak over night in dishwasher liquid, rinse and then dry. I have tried ordinary dish detergent and then my air compressor air duster with very good improvements in both air flow rate and smell. Nissan dealer reckons we do not get the huge pollen loads that they get in japan and so the filters are not vital to most Aussie environments.

I think I will just have a second go at cleaning the old filter instead of getting a new one. If however you want the details of the USA parts they are obtainable from both riversideinfinity.com (look up g35 as the lh drive equivalent of our v35) or autospareswarehouse.com

Cheers Graeme

I have been quoted $60 for the in cabin filter from Nissan Gosford and $166 for the new transponder key. Thanks Tom for the pin code - it was exactly the same as the one I got from Nissan Japan.

Thats a great price for filter and key. Just to let you know had a second go at cleaning mine this morning. Decided that as it took dishwasher deterrgent and water and compressed air with no problems why not try ind strength degreaser. So I hit it with CT-14 rinsed it off after about 1 minute and air compressor dried. Perfect result looks like new and absolutely no damage observable and completely unclogged to the naked eye.

Thanks for that, I read that..

What I was asking, was things like who makes it, where do you get it, is it expensive. Is it a spray...

CT-14 is just a good quality degreaser. Comes in plastic bottles 1litre and up. You can use it full strength or dilute with water. I mix it 50:50 for most work and hand spray from a refillable bottle. Not the cheapest on the market but one of the strongest around. Obtainable from Supercheap Repco Autobahn etc.

[Stephen Thorpe]

Thank you for that...

yeah it's that one, it fits perfectly, delivery took about 2 weeks though.

I bought one of these a while back. It arrived quite squashed and was difficult to get it back into a suitable shape. I will probably buy one locally next time.

You can also order them direct from the supplier on china at www.banggood.com for half the price.
