its been 2 years since my last tune up....i think i'm due for one...

what should i be getting done when doing a tune up?

 

NGK OEM Plugs...you can do it. "NGK OEM only"
Fuel Filter...you can do it. "Try the 300ZX one"
Coolant Flush...you can do it. "Easy on the water pressure"
Tranny Flush...let them do it. "High miles?100K+...drain & fill only"
Throttle Body Cleaner...you can do it. "Can+Rag+Toothbrush=Smile"
Brake Fluid...you can do it. "Top it off and reset brake booster."
Tires Rotate/Balance..let em do it.

I'm forgetting other stuff...but save$$$ for more mods...

 

There isn't much to do with the Maxima. It tunes itself by the ECU and there are no timing belts that need to changed at 60K, rather we have a chain that is said to be good for 90K. Plugs are said to 60K though some people see 80K with no problem. Fuel filter would be good to change as well as the coolant and tranny fluid. Balance and rotation can be very cheap. Firestone Tire Centers have a lifetime wheel balance and rotation for $12.99 (for the life of the tires).

 

excellent guys, is there a write up anywhere to show how to change these things? also, i have 110,000 miles on my car and i don't remember previosu owner changing chains at 84,000 miles...how would i know if it needs to be changed? never changed spark plugs and will do so this time but need to know how to change this and need to know EVERYTHING needed to be changed when you go over 100,000 miles...

 

I've got 115,000m and would like to know what needs to be changed.
