Thread: What did you do to your NX today?

Installed a B13 power steering cooler, B14 power steering reservoir, and a new pressure side power steering line. Thinking I may do the pump-to-rack replacement line when this one goes. Clean up the bay a little bit.







Also, cleaned the IACV and removed AIV (the one under the intake manifold).

Car is much quieter and idle is quite a bit better.

Nothing major but....replaced front turn signal bulbs and installed little triangle-shaped plastic piece on the door panel near the side view mirror. Last one fell off. Not sure where it went.

Where are the pics?

I installed EBC yellow stuff front brakes.

Was too dark by the time I took some pics, so they didn't come out very well. I'll get some next early trip to my shop. Or maybe Saturday, as the NX has an alignment first thing in the morning.

P.s. How do you like those EBC's @calvin269? Ever ran anything different? I've only ever ran cheap Auto parts store pads or the Axxis Ultimates that I run now. I like them, but have been open to switching since they were really hard to find the last time that I needed to change them out.

Actually this will be my first time using them. I will not get a good chance to test them till next summer as the weather is starting to get cold and wont have a chance to get it on a track to see how they will hold up. I have read lots of good things about them. I have for them most part always used OEM or AutoZone pads. I can say that they fit better then todays aftermarket brakes. I change a lot of brakes for all my own cars and friends, ect. Most aftermarket cheap pads require a little filing or grinding to get them to fit. Never used to be that way but it seems rare to buy pads that fit correctly. But, once I get some track time on them I will let you know.
As for my first DD experience they work and stop me. I might get a set for the back this winter, pending funds for my other projects.

Update (10/16/16):

Replaced Passenger side axle. Attempted to replace driver's side axle, but didn't realize my one good axle was a non-LSD unit. My spare LSD axle had ripped boots, so will be replacing boots after work today so that I can install it before my alignment Friday morning.

Got a 4-wheel alignment this morning. Car drives nice and straight and steering wheel is centered. MUCH better.
