A mechanic or DIY owner has lost or damaged bolt B2729-14 (M10×1.25 or M12×1.25, flange bolt, ~30–40mm length, often used on Nissan QR/VD/VQ engines for alternator or PS pump bracket). They want to know if replacing it with a hardware store bolt + washer is “better” (cheaper/stronger/available) than buying the exact Nissan bolt.
Often cheaper, but some users report "ghost" alerts where the system beeps at nothing because the sensor sensitivity is off. How to Diagnose it Yourself

: A "Parking Sensor Error" or "Sonar System Error" message appears on the multi-information display.
