What did you do to your M or Q Today ....

[mexillis]

^ i need to get some new fronts again, too low and smashed one to where it doesnt look round and knocked off both grease bungs off.

[dvan]

took some pics

I see you have a slight gap in the bumper next to the wheel....i have the same thing, I wonder if this is a common problem?

Also,mowellsinva,what wheel repair company did you use?

[riggz]

Maybe just needs a bolt tightened up? I don't have the gap in mine.

Hey Mexillis how hard is it to take off the door molding, if I pull it off will i break anything?
I'm trying to change it to the chrome ones.

[mexillis]

you just have to kinda pry em off, there are snaps and 3m behind the moldings and there isnt a way to take em off without breaking the snaps. It will take some effort so dont worry about applying too much pressure bcuz you might need to.

[Black_Mx]

Thanks man i got to wait till friday so i can try it, cuz then my last part should be here.
Thanks for the tips Mex

Took the car in for an oil change on Saturday and on the way their the wipers started acting up. So I told the service department and it took them a day in a half to fiqure that the sensor had to be replaced. I guess they replaced the rain sensor too. After they fixed that problem I told them about the tramlining problem and they ordered new control arms and some other front end stuff. But I tried to explain that I spent a few hours on line researching the problem and found that the only viable solution (do date) is to replace the steering rack and tires (Contis DWS) but they seem to think that they have the solution. I told the service rep that "I will be back". Car should be down Weds. However, I need to remind them of the wind shield washers are not working (I think they are glogged after I got the car fully detailed) and the light went out on the center auto gear shift (don't know what the official name). For a car with only 7,350 miles I am experiencing some problems. Thanks goodness the car is under warranty and I hope everything wrong with the car gets fixed early in the car's life. They gave me a new G37 for the loaner (cost me 15 bucks for the gas) and I am not impressed with the fit and finish of the car. Sure I like the engine but the rest seems real cheap. Plus the car is bare bones (no heated seats, navi etc.). Maybe they gave me a G37S loaded I would have a different opinion. I was so close in buying a black on black G37S Coupe but the car was a stick and the only automatic on the lot was white with tan leather. I am just not interested in sticks anymore. After my last Infiniti I told myself if I ever get another V6 it is going to be an automatic. But I am glad I opted for the M35 at the last moment. Driving the G37 I am appreciating my MPG. The G37 drinks lots of gas. I am averaging 19MPG highway driving. I guess if I stuck to 65 mph and did not use the manual mode I would save more fuel. But the car makes you want to push it everytime you get in the thing. What I really like about the car is the exhaust sound. It has a low frequency growl that sounds pretty cool. I did not know how cool it sounded until I started it in the garage and reved it up. Even the neighbor came over and thought it was my new car and said it sounded mean. He never commented once on the new M just the G. Plus when I drive it down the road it seems all the young punks in their wannabe tuners want to race me. In my M I never ever get challenged. However, more women comment on the M than the G. It seems more guys say something about the G. In fact one guy at work thought I had a new Hyundai Genesis sedan than an M35. But a girl in the other office said "that's a nice Infiniti". No I take it back at the gas station some kid came up to me and said my G37 was beautiful then I had to remind him it was a M. He looked at it again walked to the rear and silently walked away.

Went to my shop and ordered "gorrilla" locks for my wheels. Didnt want to go with the traditional hex shape locks for aftermarket wheels, too easy to access keys...

Looking to drop it ($477) eibach pro kit.
and black out tail lights($90)...in the next few weeks.
Good prices or wut??

[mexillis]

Car looks good line up! I payed around 260 shipped for my eibach springs from tire rack. Stillen I think sells them too so check em out to compare prices. Bodyguard, I like that blue and not too many moded ones around with that paint color.

The quote is with labor on the drop kit....the other shops were higher. One quoted me $700 installed with alignment, no camber kit (just 4 springs installed and alignment). Thays why I thought $477 was good. maybe I can get them to $450..

[riggz]

Finished up the install of half of my Blinder Xtreme M47 kit (2 heads in the grille) and painted the grille black. The quality turned out quite bad as the paint I used did not lay flat at all. Going to have to sand it down and do it again or have a shop do it.

Also installed an Escort Passport 9500ci. Still waiting on a couple parts from Escort to finish the install, but it's working.

Stopped by Car Tunes of Atlanta to get a quote on the a full stereo upgrade. Walked out with a quote for over $5k for a custom enclosure with 2 10" JL 10w3v3, Focal components, JL HD amps, and a Bit One. Thinking about cutting out some of the high dollar pieces to keep it under $3k.

[pedsemdoc]

Cleared out my front and rear turn signal bulbs--front driver side one was harder to get to-had to disconnect the air cleaner case and had to remove trunk liner, etc. for rears (PITA) but don't have small hands so I needed the working room. Think it looks a lot better than the sunny side up egg appearance...

Here's with them off....stealthy!-lol



Here's a close up



Here's with them on



Rear Turn Signals: Driver: clear bulb/Passenger: stock

[mexillis]

so all you did was change the bulb for the fronts and the amber color went away?

[pedsemdoc]

I used Silver Vision (chromed amber bulbs) from http://superlumination.com/3157_3156.htm.
The bulbs are chrome so they appear inconspicious in the turn signal housing, but glow amber.

"Gorilla" locks installed on wheels....$$35
