they're about $30~$55 at Nissan dealers. call the dealers near you, don't just go to one dealer and get ripped off. I have two dealers in my area. one wanted $29.99, the other wanted $50 something. 
some automotive parts store carry cabin filters, I checked them out, and i couldn't find any for maxima.

When I turn on my A/C it smells like cat ****. Is changing the filter something that will help this problem? Is it easy to change the filter? NismoMax80, I looked in the stickies under how to but didn't see a link on how to change cabin filters. Just wanted to let you know I did check the stickies though, cockroach. lol

The Nissan mech that was looking for my gas smell said that a mouse had died inside the duct work of another car he was working on. Smelled up the whole car. He changed the filter and smell went away. Maybe it'll work for you.
Got my filter at the dealer for $30. Not too bad. Maybe it'll take away the gas smell too!

$300 for a $30 part and a couple of minutes worth of work. Stealership for sure.

Are there better ones or ones to stay away from?

In-cabin Microfilter filters the air you breath inside your vehicle; reduces road dust, pollen and other air pollutants. Replace annually or every 15,000 miles (whichever comes first).
BTW I drink real coffee. lol
How are you doing?

Wix Filters makes one also, part#24857. List price is like $45.00 so you should be able to get one for 30-35 without a problem. Maxdout, if you ever pulled one out after 15-20 thousand miles you would see. I changed mine out at 16K and it looked like a regular air filter with about 30K on it........

I had the dealer do my first change. Don't like to waste money, so thanks for the site with the $25 price.
How about someone who's done it tell about changing the filter. Can't be that tough.
Thanks!

My car smelled the same also until I realized in a drunken stupor I had shoved the cat into the engine compartment
Seriously, mine always smelled like mildew. Swapped in a new filter and bingo!!

The one I replaced last night was dark gray. On the intake side, there were a couple of small leaves, a few bugs and gnats and pretty large dust particles. I'm glad there was a filter there since I have allergies.

In the owners manual it says that the filter does the recirculated air also. I changed mine a couple of weeks ago and I was wondering the same thing. I guess it would be good for it to do it on recirc. for those that have allergies. I geuss it would keep the pollen and other things from blowing around the car.

Flathead screwdriver worked for me. The flathead also helps removing the old filter. You also need to be careful to install the new filter just like the old one. It lays flat, resting on TOP of the two tabs you will see after removing the door.

ahh, back on topic 
(no apologies necessary, all good)
yeah, those tabs were a PITA. and silly me, I start reading the instructions w/ the new filter... well I removed some unecessary things and figured "this ain't right" Good ole manual set me right. Mine wasn't too dirty, but I have a box of them. It did get cooler once switched.

Some times I can't some of these stealerships. My dealer wants 45 dollars for the filter and I found it cheaper here than on my last reply. I am going to take a copy to my dealer and see if I can get it for this price. $25.20. If not I will buy it from this site. $30.20 with shipping.
