60k service a DYI?

60k service a DYI?
I know the 60k service is basically, throttle/IAC cleaning, fuel and air filter, and plugs. The throttle body cleaning I think I can handle once I get myself some tools. Is there a certain brand of cleaner anyone suggests?
The air filter, I'll get an intake for. The spark plugs I will have my friend do. The only thing I don't know is the fuel filter. Is it that hard to get to? I read that other owners found an in increase in fuel economy with a 300zx filter, so I'm intent on using that, but I'd really like to work on this car myself, and not some mechanic who charges bs labor.

I used STP throttle body cleaner when I did mine. The spark plugs are surprisingly easy to do; just take your time with the rear three. Fuel filter was hard to get at due to the positioning of the clamp. I ended up having Nissan do it. Everything else though can be done pretty easily. Set aside a Saturday afternoon and you'll get it all done.
