What did you do to your FX / QX70 today?

How about another update. Came out to strange puddle under front of car after it came home. Looked like oil but was a bit too clear. Turns out my power steering line is leaking badly at the crimp joints. Cant be too much to change a couple hoses, right? How about $5k because the damn front cross member, the diff, and a bunch of other shite has to come out since the hoses run underneath the engine in the 5.0s. Plus there are like 1000 other little hoses that should be changed with the main high pressure and low pressure lines. Main line set was like $1200 plus $300 in misc hoses and parts…rest was labor. Took a couple of weeks to even locate the parts. The downsides of a bespoke engine. This car kinda sucks now. Second rant concluded.

:tdown: damn 5k
 
Changed my Fan Module, Mashimoto Thermostat & Radiator cap due to temps rising. Ran a Coolant Pressure Test. Found leaks under my AC condenser, which leads me to believe it’s my water pump possibly going bad
 
Hi, I have a '15 3.7 and did a ECU reprogramming recently. HP to 365, torque to 410 nm, throttle response rate change, Vmax removal and I'm quite happy with the result. Didn't try on the dyno yet. Super fuel 98 only now. Anyone else here tried that?
 
Changed out my Spark Plugs with NGK’s, Changed my rear Brake Pads and Rotors with Power Stop.
Eventually want to instal a Trans cooler just not sure which thermostat to purchase.
 
Installed a tow bar and electric over the past couple of days

In case anyone is here and interested bought a strut tower brace,bar for a q50, which by the way is the same as the g37. Installed it on my 2015 QX70S within 30 minutes just had to adjust one of these lines coming off the battery on the passengers side. This is what I bought, did a lot of research and saw no difference between all the branded and unbranded three piece ones.Hope the picture attaches , I don’t think I posted here before

Solid option, I found something similar on AliExpress for under $50. Install cake of piece too!
Currently working on a supercharger install and building a way to port the 370z kit.
Also just bought this 12' cheap Chinese made Junsun 12' sub to replace the infiniti bose sub woofer in the spare tire and need to install.

what supercharger kit will work best ?
 
Know what you mean!
i actually worked for a company that makes turbos and superchargers
Even at a discount it doesn't make much sense and its a lot of work!
More importantly from my POV it adds to potential engine damage
There's jus not much you can do to improve on the performance
i have the AWD and Scorpions which can be very aggressive
Right now i jus really enjoy driving it, but i had transmission issues
After replacing the valve body, it runs like new but i'm more careful now
i doubt shifting manual hurt anything, more likely the previous owner did it!
Carfax shows no required service and that's what i'm focused on now
and not at the dealer ... found a great mechanic here in the DFW area!

You have the same 22" wheels that i do, what tires do you have?
the Pirelli Scorpions are way to high for me, and i want a softer ride, way too bumpy
any suggestions? the AWD gives me enough performance
