What did you do to your FX / QX70 today?

Replaced the tail lights fuse after a very very dark dashboard... Not a clue why it blew!
 
Finally got my tires in stock so I had them and my new wheels put on. Took a quick pic since it was getting nasty outside. Now I just need a drop.

Looks Awesome., & perfect wheel on there. Exactly what I would wear if I had a 2nd gen.
& now you've got some tire options too. What's on there?

Thanks! I had to go with the Yokohama Paradas with 265/50 up front and 295/45 on the rear to keep the same rolling diameter for my AWD on the staggered setup. I originally ordered Hankook Ventus RH06 but wasnt able to get the fronts. Long story that I will some day vent on here. Basically Discount Tire F'ed me over but I ended up getting the set installed with road hazard for $700 out the door.
 
Took the fx to Infiniti and they swapped out the drivers side lock acutator since yesterday I could not get into the fx even though the Foor was unlocked. However when I got there they gave me the bs that they could not see what they could do since the door was working fine. I was like so u want me to come back when I stuck inside of the car and locked inside. Another kid was like it happens when it's cold. I was like well I'm expected to be wondering everyday if I'm going to be locked in the car bc it's cold outside. Eventually a manager said to just change the acutator specially since I told him it has happened three times within the last fthree weeks.

Nice!!!

speaking of superchargers, has anyone mounted a eaton M90 on VQ engines? I just saw some videos and pictures of honda guys mounting those on J-series engines with a cut out on the hood. Just a custom mounting plate to the engine and supercharger on top. Stillen is popular one for VQ but it's M62 I think and it costs quiet a bit where you can find used M90s for like 300$.
 
That's gonna haul ass!

I just ordered some new tires. Gonna run the Falken FKs again. They wear out quick, but they're sticky & cheap.

I think my last post got lost when the site issue happened. I would definitely not use that plenum with any FI system. It tends to flex and bend under the pressure, and I have seen a G35 blow one of them completely.

Just use your stock plenum with a 5/16 spacer.

yeah we'll see on the dyno Gona ask what my buddy thinks as well he's worked on a lot of vqs
inwas orignslly only going to do bolt one but got a deal on the sc so it's. A bit of mix match
 
At the gym on Saturday a clean looking white G37 parked next to me so I was like crap I need to wash the FX. Did that yesterday. I also found my wheel touch up paint from when I got them powdercoated who knows how long ago. There was actually some left in the can so I dabbed a few spots on the wheels that had been nicked or curbed. It doesn't look great as far as touch ups, but it looks a lot better than before. At a distance it looks like the wheels are in near perfect shape.

& if black wasnt so hard to keep clean, that would be my color
 
I didn't realize how many chips I have now, until I washed it and I thought I was looking at the stars in the night sky. Keep using that bra, I wish I had.
