basically my cheapo battery died...and we checked if it was the alternator and it wasnt so basically dead cell battery..and tomorrow we..well not me..my dad is taking it in to the nissan dealership here..and well i can probably convice him to replace like chains or spark plugs..nothing like big deal...but probably something i need..cuz i doubt the previous owner did much...so yeah anyone have some advice i should tell my dad about to see if i can have it done tomorrow??

 

How many miles is on the car ??

Close to 60K then have your dad do the full 60K mile service...Fuel filter, plugs, pcv valve, air filter...and if you dad is paying for it, have them do an oil change to..and a tranny flush, if its an auto...dam*, I'm getting exited with your dads money

and yall probably ask why cant we do it ourselves..my grandma paid for the car...so if anywork is done...has to be professionally done..

 

106k miles on my '99 and what type of plugs..ngk platinums? does it all really matter? yes im an auto and would they have k&n there...ah hell im getting excited too...and one last thing...would they have a wind deflector..cuz mine cracked..

 

Yea the wind deflector is like 50$ put on yourself...Definetly do an Oil change, have the tranny flushed, Radiator (cooling system) flushed and refilled, new plugs NGK platnums they will have at the dealer, buy your own filter to put in, have the A/C checked while its in there and maybe refilled...

what about chains? i fear that, that hasnt been replaced

 

what about chains? i fear that, that hasnt been replaced..and i dont know as much about the whole vq as everyone else

 

anyone has anything else to add? i gotta know before i go to school..id appreciate it very much

 

What are chains...you can do the belts ??

you mean timing chains?....the timing chains will out live the rest of the car...or at least go 200K....if the dealer tells you otherwise he's trying to pad his pocket.

belts, every 60K so "while you are at it"

the factory oil filter is ok to use...as long at its not orange.
