I have read the manual but I still cant figure out how to remove the 2 clips, under the box. Any help?

 

Flip them down and pull them out towards the inside.

Or, paint them silver...

 

Ok I got them. Easy job.

Filter is filthy, full of dried leaves, and black, and its got 2 holes in it.

Worth getting the nissan one or just go aftermarket?

 

Your getting good.

 

You wouldnt believe me if I told you I changed my valve stem seals, timing belt, waterpump, idler and tensionner pulleys on my 92 tercel eh? I also changed my catback system, shocks, strut mounts, spark plugs of course, distributor cap and wires, set the timing with a light, changed tranny oil and filter, .... I had the whole repair manual and I did it all myself. And yes, I did ask a crapload of questions on a tercel forum, I'm just like that....

I'm asking more questions here because I care about that car and I dont want to screw it up. Plus, I just got it so I had alot of questions.

 

on that!!! Very impressive indeed. You went from not reading the manual to this. I can't wait until you start dissambling the engine block and putting it back together......

We are just joking man. I know too that when I bought mine I had lots of questions ... well, of course not as many questions as you but, I still had one or two questions......

 

An aftermarket filter is fine.

Just put it in the same way you took the old out.

 

^^^ good advice. Don't buy the ones from the stealership for 40 bucks... get the ones from Autozone or something for $12....

 

And please dont buy the K&N replacement. Oil is a no no for Air Intake.

Auto zone is the way to go. Plus they have some kind of card now with reward point. I think 20 bucks and up and you get a point.....

 

An after market filter is OK

 

We dont have autozone in canada... I called canadian tire and they have it for 45 bucks ?!?

I'll call napa tomorrow to see how much they ask.

 

If you want I can go to Autozone and ship it to you
$44.50 overnighted to your door

 

They make K & N heppa-filters?

 

LOL HEPA my friend....

Yeah I think they do???

Damn those oil ones though!!

 

Which one????

 

Bosch makes em. that's what my current one is, via Autozone.

 

i bought a ton like 1/2 price through CourtesyNissan online. I keep forgetting to replace it though. i'm scared to see it. i can't imagine it being anything like described above.

 

Got mine here, in August '07 at the time they were $14.95 ordered 3 got free shipping

This what it looked like at 16,000 miles, new one on the right

 

 

Keeping the glove box closed (empty), look under the glove box and you will see 2 plastic hing pins with tabs. Slide them inward and remove, then while holding the bottom of the glove box with one hand, open and tilt in a 40-45 degree angle so that the glove box comes out of the groove. Let hang by the wire. You should now be able to see the access cover for the filter, I used a small flap tip screwdriver to release the tabs and open for access to the filter.

Reverse procedures once installed.

Then paint all 4 of your brake calipers...

 

i need to check mine i bet its bad

 

Oh cool.

So it is a dry filter...

 

^ ^ ^ Yes, dry pleated paper

 

Advanced Auto has one for ~$12 too. I think it was a Purolator.

 

I checked mine a month or so ago.

At 5yrs and 34K it looks almost brand new. Not counting the leaves and dead bugs.

 

Air cabin filters are almost always pleated paper (traditional) filters.

No sense in using an oiled medium filter as airflow is secondary.
