Declutter some more stuffs.

 

What are the parts there?

You can declutter that fuse box on the drivers side. There's only one fuse inside.

Looks good, PNW_IPL. Green oil cap is odd, but nice bay, clean and interesting.

 

Thanks sir.
Neat oil cap
Need a matching coolant cap.
Parts are pcv system and throttle body coolant lines.
I went on with your suggestion much appreciated.
Removed that fuse box and other black control box as well as ground since I'm 6mt not worried about transmission hesitation.

 

Gave it a good wax today, and got sunburnt too.

 

I thought maybe those were coolant lines for the throttle body. People were doing that years ago (me too ) on the maxima forum. IIRC, the point of the coolant is to actually heat up the TB so it doesn't get sticky in sub-freezing temps. I know that sounds backwards for "coolant", kind of funny, IMO.

Glad to help with that big fuse box. My one fuse is just strapped to the wire harness with black tape and tucked out of the way.

 

Whered you get that cap / can i get it in blue? I actually do need a new one since i busted the plastic on mine

 

Here you go.

thanks, did you just peel the sticker off yours?

 

It comes with new uninstalled decal. I just left it off. If u get tighten the Allen screws as they're loose from factory.
And that will fit nissan/Infiniti as we share oil cap size with Honda

 

Was replacing all 4 suspension stabilizer links, and rear struts.While inspecting rear breaks I've notices calipers had no play.
I attempted to take it apart and the bottom guiding pin /bolt turned out to be from hell. Took 2 hours to extract it, inside there was no juice, dry as ****.
Got new ones from advanced auto. I started working on replacing suspension stabilizer links, all nuts were rusted as hell. Managed to pull that off with lot of gymnastics.
I started working on removing rear right strut, easy stuff if you think about it, 3 bolts total and that it. Well the bottom bolt snapped. I went to home depot and found alternative bolts 3 bucks a piece, replace the rear left strut, wasn't easy the bolt was very much seized inside the rubber bushing. Took like 30 min to wiggle that ****er out, then finished replacing strut.
After total of 7 hours working on the car, I quit, going to finish working on extracting broken bolt tomorrow.

By the way, when your car feels like it sort of floats as you drive, its sign of bad stabilizer links.

 

Ah, the joys of working on a salt belt car.

 

Repainted my Front Grille and turned out to look horrible.... Orange Peel hell and leftover plastidip caused issue. Maybe too humid I dunno. I installed it anyway and if anybody asks I'll tell them I meant to do that while I wait to order a new Grille. I'm done with it. I also installed felt along the bottom of the windshield to stop the annoying rattle from the front of the car per the DIY for that.

Reading up on the orange peel I was guilty of both of these. "spraying the paint at an angle other than perpendicular, or applying excessive paint."

 

What did I do to my G37 sedan today?
I wasted about 4 hours in replacing the relay for the cabin air conditioning blower system, and after doing so, discovered it still did not work.
Despite having unplugged the negative terminal on the battery before beginning, I somehow managed to short out and ruined two different fuses.

****ing around with those ridiculously small fuses is a pain in the butt!

Tomorrow I get to do more of the same.
II was told by a good friend of mine with far more experience and I to use hemostats to hold the fuses while inserting them. That makes Infinit(i)e sense!

Cutouts came and so did new struts. Gonna be a busy weekend

 

Set-up a tune with a shop recommended by a friend. See what the bolt-ons get me at the end of July.
