Activated Carbon In Cabin Micro-Filter???

honeykeeper · 01-29-2005, 01:00 PM

I ordered some in-cabin micro filters a few months ago from Jamie. They instantly helped keep the dust particles down on the dash. I noticed they were only paper

I looked in the 04 and 05 Titan Accessories booklets and both say activated carbon......

that is what I really wanted and justified the$$$ cost for.

I called Jamie again

and he said they are only paper and the Maxima has the carbon which is what it looks like pictured in the accessories booklets.

He then asked me to let him know what I find out!!!

So I called

NISSAN and asked about the difference.

They said they will ask the engineers what is up with that and the filters should be carbon-activated.

I explained it would be nice if they were for the $$$ as the carbon is especially needed..

the paper just can't absorb odors

from Me-Thane you know??????.

Can anyone locate some carbon ones and should we have had to pay so many $$$ for high-micron paper filters that don't do what the add says it does???

Any help would be greatly appreciated.......

Thanks Again....Peace-Tom

I've had both. The carbon ones in the Maxima did nothing worth a damn.

Hey HVT...I think what the carbon does........you can't see.....such as odors and spores......as in traditional carbon filters used in many households now.
Again for the cost.....they should have both paper and carbon in one filter......and the odors, mold and spores are in the duct-work system........traditionally so I would prefer they do what the accesories brochures say they do. My 2¢...or $40+.

Let us know what you hear from Nissan, Tom. I haven't installed them yet in my XE. I'm not paying that kind of money for something I can have my filter supplier through work custom make for me.....cheap! In fact, he can probably make me up some that actually are activated carbon.

honeykeeper · 02-16-2005, 06:35 PM

Hi RockyMtnTitan..and others wanting the activated carbon filters!!!
Well I got word from NISSAN

about the filters and the false add they use for them. They just wiggled

and said they have carbon elements in them

...I said where???????

. They are nothing like the maximas carbon filters. The dude kept saying the model # matches the filter....

......and the cost is for the model #

. I said why can't the manufacturer of the Maxima carbon filter make the Titan filter the same??
I also said they should fix the add

So I hope you can get some custom filters made and a group purchase can take advantage of a better filter that does have the carbon. geeez!!!
Wake-up NISSAN !!!!

Expensive filters in all their glory.

Filter part number, note the arrow. This is supposed to face down, writing toward back of truck.

Remove these screws

And these

Filter cover, remove this.

You end up with this.

Pop the two filters in like so.

The filters are not carbon, just plain old paper.

Anyone know the exact dimensions of the microfilters? I saw it posted somewhere here, but can't find it. Thanks....

honeykeeper · 02-17-2005, 10:23 AM

Hi RockyMtnTitan......I think Bestatchess gave the dimensions in centimeters on a post a few months ago.

Mine were carbon. I was expecting all white and I thought they were just filthy. After trying to clean them I realized they WERE carbon. Hope I didn't waste the filters trying to clean them. I'm drying them now. I ordered some new ones anway. Dealer wanted $70+ to replace them on my Xterra, I figuredd the cost would be about the same for the Armada or more. I probably saved $100 by doing them myself.
