Thread: What did you do to your NX today?

Try now

did an oil change first. then I "unsuccessfully" removed the Power Steering pump and swap in a newer one. I'll go back at it tomorrow.Then if there's time, install Koyo w/stock fans hopefully, motor mounts, shifting bushings.

Did a Vac block for a clean source location of map, & boost sensors. Didn't think it quite through as I have to remove it and plug a couple more of the ports. Plan on running a SS line from the intake manifold to the block. Will be doing more stuff this weekend to the car and keep everyone updated.

E85 update




Did the compression fittings off the tank to stainless steel lines to the hardlines of the vehicle. It was a tight fit as you can see but It worked great.





After it was all said and done I had the line rubbing the charcoal canister line; split a hose in half and wrapped it around the line so it would rub the rubber and not the metal.




Next is wiring in flex fuel sensor to the ECU and figure out a clean way to finish the last line (fuel feed) to the rail.

FINALLY did something for the NX. Installed my S4HL's!!! Didn't get to drive it much besides back to its parking stall. Will go for a test drive today. Impressions to come.

Woo-hoo!

Installed a timing chaing tensioner gasket (which fixed my oil leak) and gave it a good wash last night.

It's that time!

New black zinc coated disks. Installed powder coated calipers, new blue brake lines, wheel bearings, seals for wheel bearings and axle seals, new boots and grease for axles, new inner and outer tie rod ends, new control arms and new end links. Sadly the only thing I forgot was new brake pads, lol.

Everything looks so clean and fresh.
But I am wondering why you would spend all that time and effort to clean everything and powdercoat parts only to skimp on the brake lines? Wish you best of luck on those lines and hopefully it won't rupture all over the fresh parts.

Apex are not good brake lines?
