200k miles!

Odd ball issues that I can recall:
Bushings: diff bushing ooze, compression rods. All the bushings in the Whiteline Essentials Kit (before they offered it as a kit) have been changed. This was about 2 years ago, so around the 160-170 mark.
Wheel Bearings: replaced rear bearings last month.
Clutch pedal sticking halfway down; flushing clutch fluid every spring seems to solve.
Clunk from front end; Haven't been able to isolate, but noticed ball joint boot torn and endlinks have some play. I have a complete front suspension refresh on order. New ball joints, compression rods (plan to reuse whiteline bushing), swaybar endlinks (front and rear), tie rod ends, and new shocks/struts w/ new mounts all around.
Engine burning oil; this only started at about 160k miles. I did an Amsoil engine flush treatment at 180k and just made it worse. I can just keep it topped off and deal with it, but I'd like to rebuild the engine at some point.
Still on stock clutch. Though it slipped once on a hard launch last summer (really hot day) will replace when I rebuild engine or it finally dies, whichever comes first.
Nav System will flash a "unit disconnected" error every so often, I really only pop it up to reset the oil change reminder these days. Stock radio and CD changer still kicking.
Door stops replaced, got tired of my shins & my daughters getting smashed in the door.
Probably something else, but it's been running strong. Just some wear and tear on the suspension after all this time. If Infiniti offers a 6MT on the new Q60 coupe, I'll consider replacing it, otherwise this one is fine for a few more years. My previous car was a 2000 G20t 5MT that had 260k miles on it and was still running great when I sold it. Plus my wife's 97 240SX currently has 230k on the chassis (engine & drivetrain is only about 50k though).

141K here. No major issues. Replace driveline fluids every 50k. Replace engine oil every 5k. Replaced both front wheel hubs/bearing assembly. Brakes and tires. Replaced serpentine belt and all the pulleys at 111k, and upper and lower radiator hoses with anti freeze flush and thermostat at 111k, just because it was time. A very very solid car. Plan to keep it another 10 years or so. By then I should be over 300k.

I used some blue locite this time, may actually take them out and use some red. It seems as thought they just backed out as no broken bolts were found still in the plate.

There is a little extra ticking/rattling during idle now a days.. and 2 small cracks in the drivers seat leather but absent that the G is still a MAN among mostly boys when it comes to best car bang for the buck...Dont let the speed average fool you...in 47 years of driving i have been stopped for speeding over 100 times..probably 60% of those stops resulting in "official" citations...Most of the trips in this car have been done at 80 or so on the Interstates
where i still get 24 MPG..no mechanical alterations
9 years and 210k miles later....check the MPG

I have not really done any other maintenance thing, what should I check or what do I need to replace or maintain?
I have put dual injen short ram intakes .
