I already did a search and came up empty. Since K&N doesn't have a part number for a kit that will fit a 95, does anyone know which one will?

Thanks - Chad

 

The one I bought for my 98 has a part # RU-2520. I believe it fits 90-99.

 

YOu didn't search

 

Did that come in a kit...or did you have to buy the adapter separate?

Thanks - Chad

 

I bought it on ebay. It appears to have come as a complete kit. All the mounting hardware was in the box and it didn't look like it had been opened.

 

You could probably save a couple of dollars by purchasing a generic 3" K&N cone air filter, making your own adapter and bracket, and bolting it all up.

I think the biggest 3" cone filter that will physically fit under the hood is the 8" long one. Sorry I don't have the PN since I threw the box away right after we installed it, but as long as it's not so fat that your hood crushes it when closed, it should work.

Hope this helps,

if you plan of having your maxima for more than 2 yrs more, dont get a generic....youll have to replace it every so often....you can clean the K+N's, and i trust in them alot more.....

 

Yep. the K&N filters can be cleaned quickly and easily. By generic, I meant you can buy just the K&N cone filter in a box, without the FIPK or any other fittings. It's still a genuine K&N filter, you're just not getting the other parts, adaptors, brackets for your particular application. You can probably save a bit of money as well, since you can make your own brackets and adaptor from Home Depot for like $6.

Hope this helps,

Which brackets did you use to build an adaptor. I have a 1996 SE and want to build a similar adaptor. Do you have the part numbers from home depot for them, or what you made it out of.

Cone Filter Adapter

Materials Needed:
- generic cone filter with a 3" opening
- hose clamp big enough to fit on the cone filter
- Compact Disc (AOL CDs work great!)
- 15 ounce can of your favorite food
- metal epoxy
- fine or medium sandpaper
- 4 nuts (sized to fit on the screws that attach the MAF to the airbox)
- 10 mm wrench
- Dremel with a cutting wheel and a grinding bit (alternately, you could use a pocket knife and a hack saw, or other things)
- toothpick (or something else to spread epoxy)

1) Open the can (preferrably with a Euro Can Opener or a cheap knock off of it), eat its contents, and wash it really well.

2) Roughly sand the entire rim of the can until it is good and scuffed up.

3) Cut a ring about 1" wide off the open end of the can, and carefully place the rest into the recycling bin.

4) Sand the sharp enge of the ring, (to make it not so sharp) and wash it off real good.

5) Sand the labeled side of the CD until the label/mirror surface is completely removed, and the remaining plastic disc is good and scuffed up. Do not sand the non-label side.

6) Wash the disc real good and allow it to dry. (make sure the metal ring is also dry before proceeding)

7) Set the CD, scuffed side up, on a flat surface and center the metal ring, rim side down, on top of it.

8) Mix some epoxy as the label directs.

9) Spread a liberal amount of epoxy around the rim of the metal ring where it meets the CD, making sure to get a good seal all the way around.

10) Wait about an hour and then spread another liberal layer of epoxy on there.

11) Go out to your car and pull off all of the air scoop, air box, and MAF. Save the MAF and the screws that attach it to the airbox, have fun destroying the rest (you may actually want to save the stock piping in case you ever want to go back to using it).

12) Once the second layer of epoxy has cured for a couple of hours, turn the CD and ring assembly over (CD side up) and set the MAF on top of it, square side down.

13) Line up the hole in the MAF with the metal ring, and mark the positions of the four holes on the CD.

14) Remove the MAF and drill holes at the points you marked. They should be big enough to fit the screws into and have extra room, but small enough that the screw heads won't go through.

15) Grind off the inner portion of the CD, right up to the edge of the ring.

16) Allow twenty hours (absolutely no less than 15 or it will break!) to cure.

17) Wash your new adapter thoroughly and firmly attach it to the MAF using the old screws and the new nuts.

18) Slip your cone filter onto the adapter and tighten it on there with a hose clamp. Only make it tight enough to firmly hold the cone on, overtightening could damage the adaptor.

19) Reattach the MAF to the car, and you're ready to go!

Notes:

You may want to put something under the cone filter to help support it. It will stay on without it, but hard driving might break the adapter is unsupported, I don't really know.



NOT MINE.....thank you prospelousmaximus from NissanX forums

 

 

goto wwww.summitracing.com and do a search on matrix adapter. get the 3" intake adapter for nissan. w/ that, you can use a 3" k&n cone filter.

 

Man, that sounds like one ghetto set up...but it sounds like it works too.

Thanks for the responses everyone! - Chad
