What Did You Do To Your M37/M56/Q70 Today?

[Toro72]

Sorry to hear about the good closing on your head. I went with. Custom exhaust deleting two cats and switched to a X-pipe, true duals all the way. 2.5”. I love the way it sounds. Not loud but has a low growl tone!

Oops “hood”

Got it a New Face. Feel free to comment.

How, where did you get the grill from. [email protected]. thanks

[biggie]

Added the paddle shifters to my L over the weekend, much better to have those. Had missed them.

I installed the Brakemotive rotors and pads yesterday. The OEM rotors were warped and had already been resurfaced once. I had a great experience with the Brakemotive rotors on my M45 - they stayed true for 70k miles until the car was totaled.

Also compounded, polished and waxed the car a few days ago.

New tires this weekend.

@ bg383. It is an H-style brand grill from Japan wrapped in 3M. Google H-style.

I've lowered my car and upgraded my rims. I have to find front camber kit for my car. Any suggestions let me know. My camber is off so it doesn't sit poking like the rear.

Installed my GT Spec front tower strut bar, had to do some pushing and wiggling to get the mounts in place, but it does fit.



Here's a close up


Haven't had the opportunity to push it in the corners to see if it feels better than stock...but even if it doesn't, I like the way it looks

Your motor bay looks so awesome. I do have a question though, do you know of any companies that makes front strut towers for the infiniti m37x?

any company that makes a strut bar for the G37 will work for your M37X. Good luck with your search

[zae063]

Alright thank you. One more question, do you feel that these front strut braces are worth the cash? Do they perform nd do what its supposed to?

[DoN_BLaZe34]

Np. Strut bars are supposed to help your car handle better. I think the general consensus is that they are more eye candy than anything else.

what DoN said..

Pads, rotors, serpentine belt and tires. Recently installed Ark'd catback; worth every penny.

Spark plugs/valve cover gaskets next!

Finished installing Megan Racing EZ II coilovers on my 2013 M37 base. Man what a PITA getting those things out in this FL heat. Still gotta get back in there and adjust the height but im pleased so far. Stock struts were blown long ago so anything would have been an improvement.

It looks awesome. I dig the wheel color.

Hello all !

I just put the oem 20 inch wheels on my m35h. The 18 inch was way too small imao... I think it's the only M hybrid in France with those sport 20'' wheels I put some new tires too to feet the rims : Falken Azenis FK510. Lot of grip



After 2 years of ownership, I'm still very happy of this car.

Cheers

As requested:

R2C Intake with front air duct removed

Beautiful job with the cover!

Changed the radiator. Accidentally ordered a beefier version 'cause it's double the thickness than the original.
Maybe they've changed it from the 2009 model to a thicker one.

[Cylonraider]

Replaced the front pads with Akebonos and Raybestos rotors

[jabob]

put in some vibrant bottle resonators and deleted the factory mufflers. 2.25 inch piping all the way back from the resonators, as well as new exhaust tips I'm having a lot of fun with it right now, will probably post some videos of the sound soon.

2015 Q70 3.7L AWD
105k miles

Replaced spark plugs
Replaced PCV valves
Drain/fill antifreeze
Replaced serpentine belt
Replaced serpentine belt tensioner
Cleaned both plenums as they were off for plugs
Cleaned both MASS air flow sensors

Plan on flushing brake fluid in next few months.

Question:
Is it common to drain fill both differentials? I don't see it discussed often.

2011 M37x, 83k miles. Owned since 2019.

Replaced battery (EverStart Maxx group 24F - cheap, high CCA, decent warranty, and perfect fit)

Replaced failed rear sunshade module with a cheap eBay find (OEM part, salvage pull from a 2016 Q70). It was particularly "fun" because the sunshade failed stuck in the up position, which made it quite a challenge to remove the rear deck cover.

Side note, the FSM instructions for how to replace the rear sunshade module are just awful, and there's no good DIY instructions or videos out there on replacement that I could find. Now that I've suffered through it, I understand it a lot better. If anyone else wants to tackle this on their own M and wants some tips or advice, let me know!

[AJ170]

I followed EdBwoy's video on disabling ANC by cutting wires so I cut one of the ANC wires and I cut the wire to disable to sunshade from going down in reverse

Not really "today", more like "over the past 3 weeks in my garage", but...

Replaced all coolant hoses (radiator / heater)
Both upper and lower radiator hoses had started to squeeze out coolant where the hose connects to the engine, and after pulling off the hoses the rubber had half disintegrated into a gooey mess. Also took the opportunity to replace the infamous plastic heater hose coupler on the rear passenger side with a metal unit from Autotecnic. Ultimately replaced every rubber coolant hose (including heater hoses and tiny driver side coolant pipe hose) just to be safe.

(Also, vacuum fill tools are amazing for refilling the coolant system. OEMTools 24444 for the win.)

Replaced left/right motor mounts and rear transmission mount
Was fighting some really bad drivetrain vibration when stopped but in gear. Decided to fire the parts cannon and swap all three mounts. The left/right engine mounts were probably fine, the old ones didn't look much worse than the new ones. But the rear transmission mount had basically collapsed by about 1" vs the new one. No torn rubber, just sitting 1" lower. It completely fixed the vibration I was having.

Replaced serpentine belt, tensioner, and all idler pulleys
Old belt was looking pretty rough and was time to change. Tensioner was still showing within spec, but when I pulled the belt and spun the all the idler and tensioner pulleys, every single one had noisy/grinding bearings. They were also all rusty and trashed from years of road salt. As a bonus, the engine bay is a bit quieter at idle now without all those noisy bearings.

Replaced front hood latch cable and removed/cleaned hood latch mechanisms
The hood latch cable is two parts on Gs and Ms, and it has a problem where the front half of the cabling mechanism will stretch. Symptoms are that you pull the hood release and the hood doesn't pop. Replacing the hood latch cable fixed it, and while I was in there I cleaned up and regreased the latch mechanisms and the secondary hood safety latch.
