my G's glove box rattled at the meaty hinge until i put a plastic sheet in the hinge to shut it up.... so for me, i would not want my Z to have the same rattle from the hinge. :eekdance:

I finally got around to doing this after having the filter for almost 18 months. Super-easy to do, especially if you pop out the glove box. It literally pops off the hinges, it's just a little scary doing it the first time. Don't worry, those parts are super-meaty.

I forgot to re-attach the lanyard and just pulled it back off without removing any of the screws. Honestly, I would suggest you pull off the glove box before loosening any screws.

Once all that is cleared-out, accessing the filter is easy. Just remember that the locking tab for the filter door is on the right side. It pops right off then you slide out the locating tab on the left.

:tup: You know, I never put those screws back in since I first pulled it off. Much easier when i change the filter or mess with anything back there.

Despite taking out all the screws, mine won't pull out. What's the trick?

First, make sure you got all the screws. Then give it a good yank towards you. There are two locations where it clips in. See the photo below - you can see one of the clips under the red arrow on the right.

I asked at a few places for the Fram CF10157 since it's a charcoal filter, but everywhere I looked it had to be ordered since it was a newer filter. So instead I went with the Fram CF10140 which is for the G35. It fits way better than the stock one which was a bit skinnier. This one is the same length and width, and leaves no gaps around the sides.

Cf10140 fits just right, thanks.

Thanks so much for the step by step photos.
It made the task far easier! As noted the
2009 does not have a filter but the CF 101157
fit right in there. Yes, I had to order it but
it was worth it in the end, higher price and all.
Until the next time, deuces!

Just finished this, since there wasn't one in my '09. Haven't driven her yet but not gonna miss that musty smell! Thanks guys! And for what it's worth, my local performance parts store had a part number come up when searching my year.
