370z air conditioner filters question
 

Getting bad smells from my ac recently, I was thinking it is time to get the air filters replace , have not done anything since I bought my car , it has been almost 3 years ,I looked up online about ac air filter and couldn't find any brand which is match for 370z and I took my car to the dealership to see if they have any stock air filter that I can buy , but they told me Z car doesn't come with the air filter, there is no way I can replace a new one , is that real ? I mean really ? If it is so , what I am going to deal with the the bad smells from air conditioner?

I have one in my 12' Nismo. Just changed it last weekend. What year is your Nismo?

I think the 2009 370Zs are not equipped with cabin air filters from the factory, but I believe you can install one anyway.

ck if ur drain tube is blocked..

run a/c all the time.

my 12' comes with an air filter. mentioned a musky smell to my shop they took it out and showed it to me. damn it was disgustingly dirty.

they swapped it out the next visit.... clean smell again :D

the RA-141 says it's 12.7 x 11.2 x 1.5 inches

:icon08: u sure it was just the filter? unless it was moldy it's usually the evaporator getting flooded or old water getting moldy.

trick is to leave your climate control on at all times to run a/c. winter, put car in defog mod. i never encounter such smells.

i'm pretty sure it was the filter. it did look like it was a bit mouldy but didn't inspect it too deeply.... just a big nope don't change! i've driven about 5k miles since the swap and haven't noticed any musky smell.

but serious question... what is this defog mode you speak of? i hope it's not like blinker fluid because :tup:

defog aka defrost mode. i keep the hvac in that mode + blow to floor usually in the winter. keeps the compressor running to keep the system circulated and run drier.

mmm i'll try that out this fall before she goes to sleep :tiphat:

That's the size of the box.

ck the diy section for the available micron filters i suppose..

Had to dust this off.
