Then I noticed your steering wheel, and UK. o_O

Yes, I'm one of the very few owners of an Infiniti here in the UK. We do have a forum here but the last post was something like 2015.....:unsure:
 
I used the same hose. it's been off and on countless times. It's still pliable. Pretty easy to get too, but agree, weird angle.
 
Decided to spend the day working on my QX70. Installed my 3000K HIDs, painted the calipers gold, and installed the 22s with Toyo Proxes tires.8099a6a88da4dea9dbdec1e01fed8ffe.jpgc81d86654fe8575ea414cbadf2a2584e.jpg1e0d37e17843942e2a8e72b3be22f1d0.jpg

Purchased the black aluminum engine under-tray cover and installed it. While I was at it, I removed the old NGK platinum spark plugs (they had about 50k miles already) and replaced them with NGK Iridiums and it is more responsive :)

I replaced serpentine and power steering belts.

I also emptied the catch cans today. 1.5oz of slime came out of the right catch can and 0.5oz came out of the left catch can - catch cans were installed 3 weeks ago.

It was a pretty busy weekend.

Oooohhh do you have a pick of your setup? Very few people usually have a full double catch can setup.
