Hey guys,

have tried searching but to no avail, perhaps my search queries arent relative to what other people typed before, as there is no way I'm the first person to have experienced this.

We all have that little green light that stays on under the steering column in our cars, however, mine has just started flashing.

Now I remember reading many moons ago, it pertained to some filter for incabin, incabin air filter or something...

can anyone shed some light on this ?

and if so, possible part numbers or replacement items and how hard it might be to replace if anyone has done this themselves??

thanks guys!!

That would be your in-cabin micro filter. If it's flashing it means you need to replace it (or a clean MIGHT suffice, I personally would replace it).

It's located behind your glovebox - here's how you do it. Hope this helps.

Oh and if you need a new one. You can try sourcing it from a US supplier (google is the best LOL) - the part number for the OEM filter in the US (Infiniti G35) is 999M1-VP001.

I don't have the OEM filter, I sourced a TYC filter from the US through amazon.com

I heard that the nissan X'trail has the same A/c filter

Is that true?

Could be, not too sure mate, the guys at my local Nissan were pretty unhelpful when I asked if a Z33 filter would fit - they kept saying "you'll have to bring in your existing filter and we have to check it etc, we have no idea about V35s (as if)" - didn't have time for that during the week so just added it to my brother's DVD order from Amazon.

The same filter in the US is shared on a few cars so I wouldn't be surprised even if Maximas/Xtrails etc use them. I would say the Z33 filters would be the most suitable match.

Good thread - didn't know the V35 had such a filter. Anyway, I had a look at the Amazon link to see what it looked like and clicked "what people buying this also bought". Interesting to note that a 60 pack of Durex condoms was listed. Have to assume that most guys with a V35 are chick-magnets... :thumbsup:

Don't know about any green lights... I don't have one... but you can get it from Nissan if you have trouble sourcing it.

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well

      Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well.

      Need help/advice with bearing taper clearance, eccentricity and arp studs.

      By Desean Strickland · Posted

      Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard

      Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
