Break issues
Purchased a 2003 350z Touring with 29k miles on it from an older man who obviously kept it in his garage and didn't drive it during rain/snow.
But now I have it, and I dont have a garage spot where I live so the car gets rained, and snowed on.
Here is my issue, I had to change both of the rear break calipers (2 months apart) because they wouldn't fully release the break pads, causing tons of heat to my rims, and serious break wear.
Has anyone else that parks their Z outside have this issue? should i prepare to change the front 2 calipers?
I live in IL, so the weather fluctuates a lot.

What did you have break on your car, what is broken?
Moving to the breaks and suspension section, maybe someone will know about breaks.

Maybe the previous owner didn't know much about taking care of cars, but my guess is that the brake fluid needs to be changed. The system should be flushed out and cleaned. While you're at it, you might as well have a set of stainless steel or braided brake lines ready to install.

Thugga been the boss since I left Swisha House
Break 'em off, Top Texas, drive slabs reckless
Wake up every day to bad bitches and breakfast
Boss Life, better get your money right
Me and RiFF RaFF pouring fours in the Sprite
With your *****, burning bowls after light
Paul Wall called to say it's going down tonight
H-Town, North Side Thugga
I could show you boys how to hustle
