Blower Motor Replacement

So my G35 makes this horrible noise when the AC is turned on. I finally figured out that it is the blower motor. Where is the cheapest place to buy a replacement? Should i look for a manufacturer model, or is a generic model "good enough"?

a quick google search turned this up. what do the Gods of G35driver think?

^You are sure it's the blower motor right? It does it with the "AC" button turned off and fan on high?

If so, it may just have a leaf or something stuck in the blower. I'd take it off and see before I went ordering any new parts.

well, i did take it out, and the blower can definitely "wiggle" on its axle/driveshaft/whatever-you-call-it. I haven't checked to see if it still makes noise with the AC off, good call to check that.

So heres my random little question. Ive heard of some problems with some drop in filters that are oil based like the K&N, what would be the best dry filter to avoid the problems that occur with the oil ones.

jgitt, it's possible that the complaints you read about were due to user error... upon cleaning it/re-oiling it, some people don't read the directions and either put too much or don't allow enough drying time.

I use Apexi's "power intake" drop-in dry filter. Bought it off Concept Z Performance for 27 bucks, works for me.

I think Amsoil makes a dry filter, too.
