Took my fender off to make it 100% like new again. Painting tomorrow.
What did you do to your FX / QX70 today?

^What kind of knob is that?
I wrapped my original shift knob in cf and then it started peeling so I ripped it off and looked for something different so I bought a new shift knob and shift boot from g35 driver. Here is what it looked like before everything was installed
After getting the boot on
Everything installed
The stitching matches the blue on my fx and the knob matches my exhaust tips. I couldn't be happier!

Nicely done JC.. come over and do mine.
Yesterday and today I did maintenance on my 04.
- Oil change with Mobil 1 5w20 high mileage synthetic
- Drain and filled transmission, only got 4 qrts out of drain plug. Will do again next week.
- Throttle body cleaning
- Mass air flow cleaning
- Stillen air filter cleaning
- Changed 4 spark plugs, other 2 have issues. One had oil, the other had a bad coil. I need a new valve cover and 1 coil.

Killjulz is the guy/G35 member who makes them. I've been considering one for a long time now. The boot is made by a different guy, but the same vendor sells them (I got the boot but got a MOMO knob and immediately took that off). The shift knob has a spring in there so it can still depress the button.
slid on ice and jumped over a snow bank. Cracked my front bumper, and destroyed the radiator support. Other than that nothing else happened. I was stuck on the snow bank for 45min. Now I am looking for a new rad support. Anyone got ideas or links where to look for one? I would prefer used to save money of course
Yup that's the guy

I think you answered this, but want to clarify if adding the cooler allows you to bypass the radiator? I was reading today about other Nissan vehicles having an issue with the coolant mixing in the transmission fluid I guess in the radiator and harming the transmission. I'm still trying to figure out what's contaminating my coolant, if something even is, and since it had a reddish tint to the green tranny fluid seemed like a possibility.
I heard its caused by a bad radiator..mine was leaking and I had that same problem my coolant had like a redish layer almost; on the top of the coolant reservoir tank. I replaced the radiator and added new coolant and didnt have the problem since. I also did a tranny drain and fill and the fluid was a little dark but thank god there wasnt any coolant in the tranny.

Yeah, my thought is that there is rust somewhere in the system and unless it all gets cleaned out then it's going to keep tainting the coolant. Depending on price, might be worth just swapping the whole radiator instead of picking at smaller things hoping that fixes it.
