Before giving advice, I would be interested in seeing what the oil is doing in the car. So, I would first pick a good oil that is reputable (Mobil, Castrol, Pennzoil) in an xW40, do a run, do a UOA, and see what it looks like. That will give you the best starting point to see where you need to...

Yeah, I get that. I have a feeling he wanted to 'explain' the equipment and was given a brief run down of what it was and then he tried to regurgitate it back up leading to a lot of rambling.

Quick, cool video about Hengst Oil filters. I enjoyed it and I figured you all might as well. Link:

If your dad is just driving the car normally and it’s had the same gear oil in it for 13 years and you don’t have any problems. I’d refill it with OEM fluids or with the manufacturers fluid I.e. Castrol or Mobil. I don’t see the point in putting in a boutique oil in a car driven to get...

Actually the G & Z shared the same engine and some suspension components. They went separate ways with the engine when the 350Z got the HR engine. The highest a G35 got was the DE rev up. The G37 got the HR. But almost all hard parts are interchangeable between the Z/G.

If I remember correctly, some of the Altima’s came with the same VQ35DE that was in my G35. Is yours the V6 or the I4? And they do look very similar.

Headlight assembly was to be replaced (aftermarket, had some deeper scratches since that was the point of contact) bumper and fender to be replaced, tire to be replaced, rim to be repaired, radiator support to be replaced, miscellaneous clips, side markers to be replaced, new alignment. All of...

I always joked that this was the “Pride of Tokyo”. I don’t know if ANY other 2003 sport coupes that came with a DVD player lol great little car.

Not sure yet, looked into a couple mustangs, maybe upgrade the model to a G37/Q60? I’m wanting to wait until the market cools off and see where things are at. It was a weekend warrior so, I have other cars to drive, so I’m in no rush to replace it. The car was a gem, and I’ll be on he lookout...

Also, I am not too sure where you got that number from, but that's not the amount I got for the car FYI.

I got the most compliments on this car. It looked great in its stock form, people couldn't believe it was 18 years old.

Got links for these parts and this is OE quality parts? or are you just throwing out numbers here? (not like it matters, I've already accepted the 'buy out') just curious.

$500-800? The body shop quoted me $4600 to fix it... and I didn't ask about buy back because salvage titles can be a pain.

air bags didn't go off, but a broken radiator support was found once they removed the bumper.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this or not, but my 'fun car' was totaled this past week. Was leaving a car show and an elderly lady pulled out in-front of me, the damage didn't look like it would total the car, but it did. Thankfully with the uptick in the used car market, I made a...
