I changed the brake fluid but left the stock lines on. When I changed to metal lines on my motorcycles I didn't think the feel and performance was worth doing for my Kizashi.
What fluid did you use? I didn't feel any difference either except on my older cars where the lines were 10yr+.

That'S some pretty good stuff. I use Castrol SRF. Expensive, but it's the only compromise fluid that isn't dot 5.

I wish there were roads around here that are fun enough to boil brake fluid!

Took my Kizashi in for the shifter recall after ignoring the first notice and receiving a reminder notice. It wasn't broke when I took it in but it was when I got it back! Didn't notice it right away until I bumped the PRND selector while at a stop. It slopped between D and N positions, almost like it didn't want to stay in D. While the car was in neutral the dash screen still indicated D. Took the car back in the next day and the dealer was good to get it fixed right away. They stated that the mechanic forgot to reattach a linkage something er other while reassembling everything the first time. Works fine now.

^^^ yeah, what he said..^^^

Also received the second reminders for both the Kiz and the SX4. Even after the service guy noted in the 'puter that I refused both at the last inspections. Circular filed. They aren't broke, not "fixing" them.

And that's why I'm continuing to ignore that recall

local dealer already changed mine. It is the lever device but now does not work well when I leave it in neutral, "N" doesn´r appears in screen and I must give a little touch to give "N"
