Anyone ever shipped a 03/04 muffler? I need to know how much they weigh and I don't really feel like taking it off just for that.
Alternately, if someone has one laying around that they could weigh?

TPMS they work on 2nd gens as well ? vice versa? ideas?

i've seen pictures they are exactly the same LOOKING but i dont know if they are on the same freq. I dont see why nissan would switch up the freq. maybe to make more money or better readings.

Really? Front fenders are the same? I figured they'd be slightly different because the headlights are shaped differently.

I just lubed my brakes with some high temp caliper grease and so far it seems like the squeaking I was hearing when not braking is gone. Who knows how long it'll last though.

I have a new problem now. My steering wheel now has a shimmy to it once I hit around 65mph...which was not there the drive before I started the brake lubrication job.

All I did was take off the (front) wheels, take out the bottom caliper bolt, pivot the caliper, remove the pads, and lube all metal to metal contact points...like the piston-inboard pad, pad & shim, caliper-outboard pad, and the pad seats.

I did this to the front wheels only. Tried to do the rear wheels but my ratchet&socket wouldn't fit on the caliper bolt, grabbed a 14mm wrench and proceeded to strip the bolt , so I left that wheel (rear left) alone. Moved over to the rear right, but as I was jacking the car up, those tabs started to bend so I just let the car done & said screw it.

What could I have done that caused this?

Time for new struts. I've got 76k miles on the sport tuned suspension with unrevised Z springs. When I hit a pothole or imperfection in the road I really feel it. I want that "Lexus/Toyota" feel! Would you guys recommend D-specs, OEM, 350z or something else?
