I decided to change my air filter today becuz it was due for a change...heres a quick little write-up, since i had nothing else to do



First, you need to locate the air filter box...it's on the right hand side when you pop open your hood



there are two clips holding onto the airbox bracket...no special tools are necessary...you just unclip these



heres the airbox bracket taken out...

 

here it is, installed onto the air filter bracket



slip it back into the airbox and wiggle it in there so its snug



make sure you tighten these two clips when you're done!

 

THANK-GOD there is a write up for this. It's like teh hardest thing EVAR.

Not bad, dude. Just as a recommendation, you might want to include the filter size used for the Maxima to really drive the HOW-TO home.

 

good job steven....
how come u havent done GAB mod?
but good write up.....man
huso

 

Damn you and your extra .5 liters Steven...

 

filter size FRAM 4309...thanks metal maxima~!

 

nice

 

Is that the v6 3.5 plastic cover from a 6th gen?

 

yeah it is...i decided to go with this one becuz its $30 cheaper than the 5.5 gen cover new....picked it up for $60 shipped

 

nice how to andrew lol; must have been really bored to be doing that

 

from where?!?! i wanted a darker one and figured i would have to paint it. plus that one goes up on the sides

 

Does it fit like a glove or does it need modding?

 

fits like a glove! no modifications necessary

 

Pinnacle Nissan...it's like $53 for the cover and plus shipping charges...the 5.5 gen cover is $85 or something...I just said fuggit and bought a cheaper engine cover...besides, I wanted something new anyway

btw, my stock engine cover went bye bye thats why I have another one

 

hmmm. i might just have to get one. i really want a darker one. i know the marano one is black (at least on a black car)

 

heres the part # if it helps

14041-ZK00A

 

thanks
do you have a pic of the whole thing? the nissan emblem looks off center

check out that thread...

 

o thats sexy!!! i like the color and that it extends up the sides!!!!

thanks a lot

 

haha, np sooner...btw, can anybody spot my o2 simulator?

 

and i just realized that it covers the intake manifold too!!!!

 

yeah it covers some of the intake manifold...but not the whole thing...i think overall, the 6th gen cover looks nicer...and u can't go wrong if it's $30 cheaper than the 5.5!

 

ok i found it and its $56. do they are all that darker color?

 

i'm sorry, say again?

 

sorry, im tired. are they all that darker color or are they avaliable in diffirent colors? i take it the part # you gave is the dark one like the pic

 

yeah, they only come in one colour...the part # i gave u is for 2004+ nissan maxima engine cover...

 

what kind of air filters is everybody using here?

 

apexi. i used K&N with the GAB on my 00

 

I now own (2) 3.5 covers, sooner. If you want the one off my new engine, let me know. It's yours.


PS: it's not painted like mine, though....

 

i have my stock engine cover. the one above is for a 6th gen, is darker, and covers more

 

...but you can be creative with mine...

Seriously. I really don't want to argue over my wanting to GIVE you an engine cover to paint, but if that's what you want to do....

 

i missed the "give" part.

i'll take it!!

 

I can't find my airbox.

 

are home depot filters compatible with our airboxes?

 

Nope, sorry. I can't give it to you now. It's not dark enough for your car. Please move along now...


Come up to Redline on Saturday. We're dyno'ing my car w/ headers, ect, ect and trying out the IM spacer.

 

as long as they're home depot and not Lowes...

 

I rated this thread excellent!

 

cool. ive been VERY interested in the IM GASKET (technically it isnt a spacer)

 

which one are you talking about?
