A lot of people do theirs at around 40-50k. Let's just say mine was well beyond that. It wasn't very dirty tho. I was somehow missing some tho. It should take around 5.5 QTS between the tranny and diff, but I only took 4 QTS to the recycler, and I have no leaks.. Hmm..

Shifts and coasts like a dream now tho. Definitely recommend.

I did:

Replace both hood hinges
Replace both HID bulbs (one blew)
Replace PCV
Oil change/filter
Trans fluid drain/fill
Install new washer fluid cap (old one got brittle and fell off)
air filter
cabin filter
Bleed all 4 brakes
Relube all caliper slide pins.

Was going to replace my rear shocks, but ran out of daylight. Another day.

Changed the oil and oil filter. RP 5w-30 and found out that the oil drain bolt has been replaced with one of those quick drain valve things. Super easy to change. Am I supposed to take the oil filter out thru the hole in the splash tray, or do I have to take it off every time?

It's up to you, I have an aftermarket under pan because I couldn't fit my hands into the oil door for as routinely as I changed oil.

Saturday I installed a set of BC Coilovers. All I need now is to roll my rear fenders and get 30mm spacers out back and move my 25mm up front and I'll be more flush.

Not so much what I did on the G, but what I bought for it.

Motordyne Mrev2 Lower plenum
Motordyne 5/16 thermo spacer
350z engine cover

= $300 NZD ($236USD)

DOMO

Wash, wax, headlight polish, polished all the black stuff (front honeycomb, windshield wipers, window mouldings, roof rails, sideview mirror mounts, sunroof moulding).

Man, I need that nismo bumper. This 04 thang is starting to look dated.
