No, I think someone else did...not sure which thread though. After they did it I decided not to do it.hoover86 wrote:Hey Ilya did you ever Dyno after the intake tubes? I'll probably add them regardless because the look alone is much cleaner. Just curious if you ever got numbers.
lol your posts crack me up.Larz wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2017 10:37 pmThe wife??? Last I read, you were engaged but I didn't know the deal was done. Congrats and years of sheer joy to you both!
Fetucini and I are now legal in the eyes of England, Florida and God, LOL. I signed my wedding vegetables over to her years ago but we made it official this June past in Wilmslow,Cheshire at the family homestead. Lots of strange hats on the women, as expected. Fetucini and I took turns driving about in my Dad's '05 Blue Train! It's in his will for me, you know (not for many many years I hope).
I can't comment on that...I'd reference one of the online tire calculators which will give you the before/after dimensions of said tire on a rim and go from there.Shotyme300 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2017 10:48 amHey llya dumb question But 255/45/20 should fit with no problem I assume..pzero asimmetric

It looks great.
Great video
. It's too bad progress has stalled out as married life, home ownership, etc. has taken over. I had big plans when I was still single lol. I still do plan to lower it when my OEM suspension finally kicks the bucket...and eventually exhaust when my OEM one rots out thanks to NY. But so far, both are doing quite well after many NY winters lol.

Nothing has changed for the car aesthetically, I've pretty much abandoned all plans for it due to its age and mileage (2011 and 131kmi today). I intend to keep it another 2 or so years and then replace it with a low mileage '18 or '19 Q70 5.6 or something else entirely like a Lexus LS500.
That being said, since last years post, the following has been done:
Otherwise, it's just air filters, oil and tires from here on out until the day she gets replaced. At least 2 of my 4 wheels are bent and one is missing a center cap (which I can't find a replacement for since it's a one-off design) and they are pretty scuffed at this point so there is some vibration there, etc. Also, my exhaust must have a small hole or two because while it sounds pretty good, I'm probably down on power ever so slightly.
- New Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires replaced the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 A/S+ tires. This was more of a need, not a want...I got a bubble in my front tire during my drive from NY to FL (we moved to Tampa 2 weeks ago).
- I replaced the front and rear stabilizer links
- I dropped the car off this morning at a local Nissan dealer for the following work:
- Power steering rack replacement
- Coolant flush
- Transmission flush
- Front differential fluid swap (I did the rear but the front, the drain plug was impossible for me to get out so I gave up on it last year)
Current pic of the car in its new home area. From far away, it looks amazing lol.
I actually live just north of Brandon, a few exits up (do most of my shopping in Brandon). I don't really do meets...just isn't my thing (I went to one BBQ that was put on by a few folks here back in NJ like 7 or 8 years ago but that was about it). If you ever see me around, be sure to say hello.Riteoff wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 3:20 pmIlya wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 12:33 pmBeen a little more than a year since the last update.

Oh word! You live in Tampa? I live in Brandon, do you go to any infiniti mostly meets or anything like that? Either way I would love to see the car
I was cross shopping Lexus and you just get so much more return on your money with the Infiniti. I was eyeing up LS460s and sure they have more options, that I don't need, I would be buying a car with more miles and much older. That being said the Toyota is a quality product and does offer some stuff you can't get. Thankfully the Q has everything on my really need/want list! I didn't shop the 500s so not sure if they have any big ticket issues but the 460s had control arm bushings, air suspension (if equipped), and brake master cylinder failures that were all multiple thousands to repair.
