But in his defense almost all new cars these days come with a cabin air filter, so it's reasonable to expect one to be there.

It was really just stupid of Nissan to hold out on us 2009 owners.

....but for a measly $15 we've solved that omission...

But the 2009 service manual does mention it being replaced, so is it too big of a stretch to assume that this means that at least one of the 2009 versions is supposed to come with it? Let's say for a moment that the service manual mentioned "Service turbocharger at 12 months"... it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that this means Nissan put a turbocharger in one of the models, right?

Yes (it's a stretch)....Look at the footnote reference beside that entry (page 19) and read the fine print it refers to (on page 18)...It's a generic 2009 Service and Maintenance Guide (Used for all models) and clearly excludes the 370 from the cabin filter replacement schedule (unless OPTIONALLY installed)

Give it up!

Having the HVAC air filtered is good and all, but I think it'd be really cool if there was some compartment in the bottom seat cushion that we could insert a charcoal filter into. Then I could fart with abandon and not have to deal with the aftermath so much. I mean, it's hard to drive safely when I have tears streaming from my eyes. (j/k)

LOL. I've seen those. I was just joking around guys. I seldom fart in the car. Unless it's my wife's car and she's driving. Then I do it just to annoy her.

I have gone out of my way to not fart in my Z. I want that new car smell to last as long as possible!

I installed the cabin air filter this morning. The instructions and pictures on this thread are excellent. I used the STP CAF1766 filter.

My only addition/suggestion is to pull the glove box door off first. It is much easier to get to all the screws with the door removed. Just grab it on both sides as shown in the prior pictures and pull it straight out. I unhooked the teather too and just completely removed the door out of the way. When you put door back on hook the teather up first and then reinstall the door by pushing it back in place until the lower brackets lock in place.

OMG they exist! lol. I fart all the time in my car. If I had leather it'd be more fun for sure!

I bought my wife one for Xmas one year. Man, she was so pissed. That was like 10 years ago and she still yells at me for it every now and then.

Mostly they're to the lower left or right... the plastic "leather feeling" interior.

Which product, method?
