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.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      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!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
