I have 109k on the 02 and would like to do a tune up. This is what is planned if you have anything to add please do

1. Spark plugs ( not sure which brand to run)
2. trans drain and fill ( has been done at every 40k)
3. Replaced the short ram filter with kn
4. just ordered a vias bop (nws)
5. New radiator (mine leaks)
6. New strutt mounts ( mine creak)
7. If there are any other mild upgrades lets hear them.

See I did search this time lol

I like your style! I also have a g35 so lets be friends. Just did in cabin, fuel line strainer Is that a fuel filter? Pcv will do and sea foam has been done. Will change hoses with the radiator

Well done. Good plans.

Nissan calls it a "strainer", and that's how it shows up in their inventory. Sometimes people go to the dealership and come away empty handed because they ask for the "fuel filter", and since it's supposed to be a lifetime item () the parts guys doesn't always know what to do. Here's a great write-up:

Let's be friends? Like with play dates and sleep overs?

Um, OK.

Here's some expensive preventive advice. If you find the idea of removing the UIM a daunting task, or an expensive proposition at the shop, and you're replacing the rear spark plugs...

...buy 3 new coil-packs for the back 3 banks, and install them while the UIM is off.

There's a whole other opportunity to be had with the UIM off the car, but you're talking maintenance, not mods.
