What did you buy for your FX / QX70 today?

Installed 21” gloss black wheels wrapped in 295/40/21 Continental Control Contact tires (Thanks to this forum for all of the tire information, helped immensely in picking out the final tire size).

I’ll be selling the stock 20” wheels with 7/32” tread tires are Goodyear Fortera should last 70k miles, they have about 15-20k miles. If anyone has any suggestions on what these wheels are worth with tires please chime in.

Installed the Cusco strut bar!

Cleaned out the intake manifold and throttle body while I was at it. What a difference!

Nope. They are smaller but I’m trying to figure out a way to make the FX axles work with them...

You can accomplish that ratio, albeit one legged, with a differential from the correct years AWD version...10% quicker?

I’m keeping an eye out, prefer LSD, but those stubs were the deal breaker for me. I’m not racing for money. There’s nothing “wrong “ with the one it came with other than that, and they are supposed to be indestructible.

All the AWD ones have a different driveshaft flange... has 6 bolt circle pattern while RWD has triangle 3 bolt pattern... but the driveshaft flanges might be interchangable...

Great deal on BBK calipers! Less than $200!!! Rotors and pads ordered. Still contemplating what color to paint, but leaning towards red. Suggestions are welcome.

Through my research here and across the internet I’ve found the only items required for this upgrade for 2nd gen is the larger rotors. The dust shields will need to be trimmed or removed as well.

Good luck, let us know how it goes!

Be sure to order FX50 specific rotors because the FX chassis has bigger parking brake than G/Z chassis. Also, you will need to shorten your factory banjo bolts if using oem lines or if you choose to use stainless steel lines you will need the FX50/G37s/370Sport specific banjo bolts, you can’t use the ones included in a FX35 kit.

Thanks! I ordered rotors for a 2013 FX50. I thought the the banjo bolts only needed to be shortened for 1st gen models. I have a 2014 QX70. Correct me if I’m wrong.
 
I stand corrected. I read it wrong when researching. I can purchase the banjo bolts locally from Z1 Motorsports.

Just picked up banjo bolts! Waiting on G2 paint kit and rotors to arrive tomorrow! Hope to have this finished this weekend! Wish me luck!
 
Purchased an 8in bazooka amplified bass tube and HKS hi power full dual exhaust. Exhaust should be in in a day or two.
 
Bought some more wheel cleaner so I can put my studded snows back on and put my 22's away for the winter... now she rides like a tank!20181108_130233.jpeg20181104_133340.jpeg
