Changing engine air filters

Hi,

I have a 2007 G35S 5AT and would like to change the engine air filters. I can find many DIY videos for how to do it on 1st gen sedan, but nothing for V36 sedans. Does anyone have any info?

Seriously? Pull the filter out and put a new one in. If you can't figure this one out, I don't know how you could afford a $30k car...

You don't even need to unscrew anything lol....it's literally pop the clips open and swap.

Yes, you lust release 2 clips on each filter housing, pull them out and put in OEM or K&Ns. Whatever you like.
This is so easy that I question your question. Is there a chance you meant replacing the whole Intake?

I take mine out every oil change (5kmiles) and use my air compressor to blow all the debris out of the filters, after 30k filter still looks almost new. I get new ones @30k but I doubt I really need to.
