Is it a big difference between changing and flushing brake fluid
 
About mine 370z :drive about 1-2 day a week (~10 miles or less :happydance:) some times i leave it untouched for a week cause busy working. It is at 9k miles and i dont want to go above 10k in next 1 year :tiphat:

Blue Cooling fluid: i do not flush and do not know how to, i just use turkey blaster to suk out as much old fluid as i can, then fill in new cooling fluid. Cost: 24$ for the blue bottle at NIssan dealer ship

Steering fluid: turkey blaster too .cost: 4$ (i cant believe the bottle was so cheap :icon17:)

Brake fluid: turkey blaster ?????? i heard somewhere that if you dont change brake fluid in proper way, air will enter the brake system and loose your brake ????? cost: ???? uncheck yet.

These topic about bleeding is too complicated for me, mostly because i dont have a garage and tools

So are there any big differences ? I heard the original brake fluid for 370z from Nissan dealer ship is DOT 3, which is not really good compare to advanced DOT 4 or Dot 5.1. Motul..... can i mix them ?

You can mix them if you read the bottle.
Is there a big difference? No. Not unless you track.

And go to Walmart for the turkey basters. They're like $1.48 there
