DIY - Replace Cabin Air Filter 2000 Infiniti I30

This is a DIY on how to replace your cabin air filter on a Infiniti I30 

A lot of people might not realize but the I30 does have a cabin air filter behind the glove compartment box - It is real easy to get to - Remove the 4 screws on top and the entire compartment box will drop - Note you cannot get to the filter by just pulling the door down because there is a wall - You must remove the entire piece .

You will see the door to the cabin air filter - You must remove the clip on the bottom of the door then slide door upward then towards you 

You will see two filters side by side - Remove the top one first then the bottom one will slide - Remember filter has handles and they must face outward 

Once you remove the filters make sure you look inside for any trash that can be blocking your drain whole - If you need a coat hanger to move the debris then do that - Then with the vacuum cleaner there is a attachment that has a long skinny end - Be careful when you slide it in the opening because you DO NOT WANT TO DAMAGE THE HEATER CORE OR BEND THE HEATER CORE FINS - Once you have that area cleaned then put the new filters in remembering the same procedure when putting it back together .

DIY Replacing Spark Plugs 2000 Infiniti I30

This is a DIY for a Infiniti I30 with a 3.0 Nissan Motor - You DO NOT have to remove the hood but when I did this DIY I was replacing my hood with a new one .

The front plugs are the easiest , All you have to do is remove the single bolt holding the ignition coil - When pulling the coil up use slight twist and pull - Make sure you inspect your coil tips for oil - If you see signs of oil then you need to replace your valve cover and grommets 

I gap my plugs at .44 and use some anti seize - electrical lube - This motor does use double platinum plug

Now the rear plugs are easy to remove - All you have to do is remove the top part of the gas and transmission cable bracket - Again check the coils for oil on the tips - But when you put these plugs back MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM BECAUSE YOU CAN CRACK THE BACK SIDE PLUGS - when tightening plug do it slow and keep the extension straight -  MAKE SURE WHEN YOU DO THIS IT IS SILENCE AS POSSIBLE SO THAT YOU CAN HEAR IF YOU HAVE CRACKED THE PLUG - IF YOU HEAR ANY WEIRD SOUND WHILE TIGHTENING REMOVE THE PLUG TO MAKE SURE - THERE SHOULD BE NO SOUNDS WHEN TIGHTENING THESE PLUGS - Once you done all of then then you can put the coils back on
