would u install a k&n air filter just the way u showed here for the stock filter? or does it not work like that?

[bythabayplayer]

it depends on the type of k & n filter. If it's just a drop in filter then yeah. I would stick w/ the open and replace every 1yr or 15k miles for optimal filtration.

its not necesary to remove the entire air box jus to change the filter...unless you want to clean that also...the clips that you used to seperate the air box, if you undo those while its still in the car and pull up the airfilter will jus slide out...see not nearly as complicated:)

If you try to do it the way you are suggesting, you will find that the old filter is very difficult to remove and the new one may become damaged in the process of installation. The airbox does not move as one would think, it has several mounting feet on the bottom that prevent it from being moved.

you should do a vid bout changing the air filter to a aftermarket one

[bythabayplayer]

I believe on the G35 the factory air intake system is very well engineered and replacing with an aftermarket intake system will not yeild significant gains. Also, those aftermarket cone filters have been proven to let through more dirt.

ok well, on a small side note, those clips that hold the grill and the filter tubing and also the battery cover, what is the part number of those clips? or at least its actuall name? i lost about half of them (dog ate them) and i need to buy some so it dosent loosen, THANKS!!

There is no way you can simply release the airbox clips and swap out the filter on the G35. You have to do as this video shows. I don't care how you did it on your Maxima, Z or any other car for that matter.
