I came across Pulstar spark plugs while doing my search for some spark plugs... They run about $25 a piece for the G35's... but I don't really trust those things, has anyone ever heard of 'em?

get the K&N
dont worry about the oil. it wont effect your sensor. NOt saying it cant, but highly doubt it.
most K&N filters come over oiled. its not a big deal, with the stock airbox.
I used K&N in all my vehicle i have never had a WET sensor problem.

I think this procedure is why most shops just drain the tranny every 30K miles (much earlier than recommended) and just keep the fluid relatively fresh.

1) Matic J ATF (4 qts.)
2) Alt. and P/S belts
3) Mobil1 Synthetic 75W-90 gear oil for the rear differential (2 qts.)
4) Prestone Antifreeze (2 gallons)... Manual says 9 qts./ 2.25 gallons
About to order:
5) NGK spark plugs
6) K&N OEM air filter replacement
Is it worth dishing out the extra cash for a K&N or is the stock one pretty good in this case?

you should add your front differential and transfer case also. You can use the same 75W90 you use for the rear. The transfer case calls for a dexronIII ATF. Stock is Nissan Matic-D, I use Redline D4.

And can I use 75W-90 in both of those?
So the tranny calls for Matic-J and the transfer case calls for Matic-D?

Did the coolant drain/ refill today... the damn car started to overheat afterwards. I had to drive it around, turn it off.. repeated this process like 3-5 times for it to calm down and go back to normal. I found it really strange.
A) The temp. gauge needle started to rise above the midpoint and would fluctuate...
B) I turned the climate control up to 90*F and it was blowing out brick cold air...
C) The radiator fans kept blowing full force...
