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

ahhh $115 ex tax from nissan?? what nissan did you go to?

i got one for $45 (or $55) from nissan randwick.

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.

CT-14, what is that?

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.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
