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.

Where is the best place to get a new filter and what type?

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.

Very useful link~ :cool:

Changed to a K&N panel air filter and car have very noticeable acceleration gain~

+ 3 AutoB in SE Melb don't have stock, Repco has it and $14 cheaper than AutoB~)

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
