What did you do to your FX / QX70 today?

Ian, next time stay the extra hour and have them clean out your engine bay! :tongue (2):
Living in downtown makes that difficult. I do hand wax it 3x a year when I'm in the burbs.
I like the engine bay preserved the way it is.. It's like a barn find lol.

Do you have a cat back or test pipes/hfc? This has been known to throw that specific code.
Nope, just Invidia catback. Just replaced 4 gaskets where the x-pipe is because one was rotted out which caused an exhaust leak. Its fixed now and threw no code while it was leaking.
Edit: just came across this thread online http://my350z.com/forum/maintenance-and-repair/446503-p2a00.html
maybe it took a week or so for the computer to recognize there was a leak.

Hmmm catalytic converter may also be going bad? I've seen this happen on a 08 G35 sedan P2A00 and the bank 1 cat needed replaced cause of rotting.

The second time you Zaino'ed your car, I got pissed and got my shit together! Yeah, silver doesn't always look great, but I am happy with the way it came out. I don't have the time or patience to keep a black car clean. I only owned one black car (RX-7); never again! Platinum Graphite was my second choice.
Yeah the wet tires are kicking some butt!

No reapplication. Just wash the tires with car wash and a brush. No harsh cleaners and it will stay on. I have a thread about the process of application and maintenance to check out under the detailing section.

Yes, they are bike trays and they fit on the factory cross bars. They are 1upUSA trays. All aluminum and you keep the front wheel on the bike. Check my garage for a pic with a bike on it. If you order just specify that you want clamps for wider factory cross bars (they have a few different clamps to choose from).

Yeah, they have been sitting in my foyer this whole time.
Its cool. the install went ok but would have gone faster if I had air tools. but me and my buddy, we got this down. After all, its the third time we have dropped an FX lol.
what do you adjust to raise the rear? I just turned the strut and then lowered the ring about an inch and that did nothing to the height.

The rear for me was always questionable. For one thing, the height would change on its own like the spring was coming unseated. I'd go from little gap to noticeable gap sometimes. I don't think I've touched it in years and luckily it's ended up at a good height.
You're adjusting both the shock and the spring mount right?

Thanks guys. That worked. the bottom ring on the right side got really tight and I was only able to lower the ring about an inch. Its still not enough to clear the wheel from the fender, so tonight I either have to remove the spacer or remove the spring so that I can adjust it without any tension on it.
When I turn right to get into my driveway, i hear some noise. There is a squeak like something is loose. Not really sure what it is. I also think I hear the left front wheel rubbing on something. I thought the front wheels weren't supposed to rub. Or maybe I have it too low? No noise from the front during my test drive down the street though, only when entering the incline on the driveway.

Getting 275/30/24 Hankook Ventus V4 ES H105 put on soon. I was worried on load rating, but the rear axle maximum is 2,839 lbs. So 1,419.5 lbs each corner. The Hankook's maximum load just needs to be higher than this, which they are, at 1,819 lbs.
Now with this slimmer tire and moving into the suburbs, I can drop it low!
