And how much are they? I'd bet they are at least $40.

I believe it was about $26 ( I will find out for you tomorrow). Dealer told me they didn't have them on stock but if I order, it will be here in 2 days. I told the parts guy, I'll be back later. This was 3 weeks ago.

Yup...The early DIY's on this used incorrectly sized (thickness) filters. Since we've come up with the right one there should not be an issue. There are rails to the rear of the compartment that hold the filter up, as do the Tabs on the door. (see my pic a few posts up). If the element is not held up it could be interfering with the fan..

Yup, $26 bucks. Ordered mine today. I'll try to do the DIY this weekend.

Thanks for the info, please take a picture of it when you get it. I'm curious to see the difference in quality. I paid $19 for mine at Napa.

Thanks for the part number AK, I ordered mine last night using the dealers online ordering. Just had an email from them today saying:
"These parts have been discontinued from Nissan. I have cancelled the order. Sorry for the inconvenience"

Hopefully you'll get yours.

Ran mine today in all modes with no issues. I bought the Napa charcoal filter.

My recirculate mode was clicking because the cabin filter was so thick that it interfered with the door that goes from recirclate to open. I have to buy a smaller one, I bought a filter that was for a Maxima. It is too thick

For anyone who thinks this mod is a waste, here is a pic of the cabin air filter I took out of my girlfriend's Sentra. It was changed 25,000 miles ago.
