New wheels and tires. STR 908 22 x 10 ET35 with Toyo Proxes ST III 285/40R22.
Wheels only weights 30lb. A 5mm spacer is needed to clear the front Akebono caliper. A 10 mm spacer in the rear to push the wheel flush with fender.

The qx looks gorgeous! Are You wrapping the chrome on sills, doors & windows? Or leaving it

Thanks Edwin. No plan to darken the chrome just yet. I preferred a little contrast!

Well I'm definitely tardy to the party, but congrats on the new ride! I love the upgrades you've done and especially the attention to detail with the brakes and suspension.

is this a 370z steering ? or its made especially for QX70?

 

[la_fx35]

To my knowledge, the QX70 and 370Z has the same steering wheel.

Did you tune the car after installation of intake and exhaust ? I am interested in figures, as I have done it myself on 370Z, and achieved pretty good gains as it is same engine... ;-)

No I have not. I plan to get one done in a couple months!

This is something like swaybar for QX70? You feel the difference in rigidity, body roll?

 

[la_fx35]

It stiffen up the body and ties the steering to more precise. It makes the car feels more planted to the ground.

Installed the Z1 Motorsports Ported Lower and Upper Intake Manifold. This combo adds a whole lot of "butt in the seat feels" and the car pull so much stronger. It is due for a tune, but still debating on if I should also do the Z1 header!

Installed Z1 2-Piece rotors.

Is there any improvement in acceleration after lighter rotor replacement?

Absolutely yes. Very noticeable.
