I have an oil change due. Should i switch to high mileage oil since mine has done 105k? Or should i stick to regular oil?

Also, is there any 105000 mile service that i should do? Or do i wait till 120k mile?

thanks

Correct me if Im wrong - I only need a camber kit if I cant get the camber within spec as is, right? So I could just get springs, go get it alligned, and if they say they couldnt align the rear, I could just go get rear camber. Is that correct?
As I understand it, there's no camber adjustment on our cars at all from the factory, only Toe, hence the need for aftermarket camber arms.

And over 1-2" you'll need aftermarket toe bolts also because the stock ones have hardly any adjustment (rear). Those are cheap though.

Dunno what you were looking at but IIRC around $400-700 for front AND rear with toe bolts.

$500 limit to drop your car? No sir, that won't happen unless you do it improperly. Save up more money.

My parking brake doesn't work on my 03 5AT sedan. I found a writeup on here, but it was for a 6MT with the handle. Mine is the foot brake. Also, none of the pictures loaded in that writeup. I found the part int he service manual about adjusting it, but I have no idea what it's talking about. Can someone point me in the right direction?

If I can get front and rear with toe bolts for 400, I can do that. That is actually close to my spend cap because used oem springs are fairly cheap. Can anyone show me where I can get camber + toe bolts front/rear for around that price?

I thought a lot of people ran 350z revised or G/Z combo without needing camber kit though.

I do need some new toe bolts

If the 350Z upper control arm is different like I'd suspect it is, you could try to get one of them with the 350Z spring for the front. pure speculation though, I have no idea if they're different.

Dual climate wont work?

Ok. Just swapped my display unit and now my dual clumate wont work? All the wires on the wiring harness seemed to be fine. What could the issue be?

P.S. I tried searching first

disay?

if only your DCC went out I'm guessing its most likely a problem with the AC board itself, if you have an OEM stereo then gear up for a boatload of other stereo/AC problems until the thing just flat out dies... may i suggest you turn your temp to 75 and put the fan speed on the second notch. when it dies your ac settings will be locked in place. mine was blasting 90 constantly as for a solution? if you're rockin OEM, go with a double din(not metra) setup. if you're already rockin a double din, try out a new AC board. and btw, when it comes to circuit boards, try not to touch the semiconductors(resistors, transistors, ICs etc.), the grease from your fingers will get on them and as they are working(and giving off heat) the grease will heat up and can fry the component. that could be what happened to you idk.

If anyone has a set of stock control arms off of their sedan, please let me know so we can measure them.

My cousin has his stock ones off his 350Z so we can compare and see if that's an option (would be a really sweet option, considering stock 350Z suspension parts should be pretty readily available)

I was trying to upload a picture of what I found under passenger kick plate, but the upload is failing. Can anyone point me to a comparison of 2003.5 / 2003.0 ECUs so I can tell which one I have?

^If you unplug it (you have to flip the arm/latch to get it to come off) look at the connectors on the ECU itself. If they are black, it's new... gray is old.
