In the stickies I've found: http://www.greghome.com/Greg's%20Garage/2002MaxSE/In-Cabin%20Microfilter%20Change.htm

But I am only seeing info about 5th gens, any reason why this is posted in the 4th gens section? I was going to try to clean it out but now I'm not even sure that my car has the filter... Any help is appreciated

 

IIRC 99's have it. ( AKA 99.5)

 

Hi everybody,

One of the reasons I first found this site was because I wanted to replace the cabin/pollen filter on my 4th gen Maxima...yes 4th gen! It has the label inside the glovebox and everything. Actually, coming on this site first of all made me question if the label was a joke, but since I had managed to order the parts, the site then turned out - just this once- to be particularly unhelpful! Couldn't quite see where to fit it! So to cut a long story short, and if anyone out there, like me, has a non-American model (well, unlikely, since between the UK and France I've only ever seen one other Maxima), it's quite simple (similar to 5th gen instructions I believe):
- empty glove box
- unscrew the catch
- unscrew the four screws holding in the glovebox
- give it a short sharp tug (mind the glovebox light cable)
- you can't miss it...well them because it comes in two parts.

No need to attempt to attempt to unscrew anything at random under the dashboard like I did.

To be more precise, I have a UK RHD model. Euro versions could be different still? Who knows... who cares?

 

i care.
i would like to know if this applies to only the 99 maxima?

 

i dont have it. Im SE-L

 

Thank you for caring, 1992maximase30!

Well the site I bought the filter from says it fits A32 (1995 to 1999) and A33 models.

And another thing, given that the car comes from England, and I ordered the parts in France, it seems likely to be applicable to European models.

 

99 SE-L is the so called 99.5 so NmexMAX seems to be mistaken then. My 99 SE doesn't have the incabin air filter.

 

i have maxima 2.0 in TURKEY. i have in cabin filter. but i cant find filter parts nowhere.

 

I've learned a lot in 4 years.

OLD thread FTL.

 

But you didn't learn that in the first 6 years??

Looks like NmexMax is a mortal like the rest of us after all.

"anywhere"

 

Also, I wasn't srue, like I usually am, so that's why the IIRC ....


So which 99's had it? Turkish 2.0's?

 

^^^2.0? whats that?

i was going to ask how i could tell which ones were the 99.5's thanks for that answer. i was actually going to check my cabin filter when i got home from work today. thanks for that answer, it saved me time and trouble

 

VQ20 & VQ25's were available overseas.

 

^^^oh, gotcha i knew about the vq25's but not the 2.0's...

 

Could probably rev the hell out of that little 2.0 V6.
