100k Miles Maintenance

I'm at 110,xxx miles right now and I just finally done all the fluid changes including:

Automatic Transmission (Nissan)
Power Steering (Nissan)
Differential (Redline)
Coolant Flush (no idea)
Oil Change (Motul Synthetic)

I also added some grounding wires from SxExCx and NGK Laser Iridium spark plugs.

The car feels like all 306 horses have came back to the stable as well. Hehe. I would like to add that the SxExCx grounding wires seemed to make a slight difference in throttle response as I accidentally lost traction at a stop light on light pedal action. The ground wires were all installed except the transmission one because I don't have a jack yet so I'll update on that later.

Also, the rotors are Centric and I have some Hawk Performance Ceramic Brake Pads coming in on Monday. So I'll have a thread and review on those for you guys next week hopefully. Mine are pretty warped and have been turned already. I will be also getting some new tires because mine are pretty bald now so a tire review will also be in effect later this month.

Looks like a good bit of work you got done there, but . . . what about changing your brake fluid?

Also, just out of curiosity, what's the gap on those original plugs after 110K miles?

I'm doing the brake fluid along with the brake change. I haven't got anything to gap it with yet, I'll see if i can get a gauge for it later.

If those are original plugs, they look pretty good! at that milage, I'd say your motor is running good! and ready for another 100grand!

One of them had some oil on it. I'm not sure what that means and if I should be worried or not.

My guess would be that your valve cover gasket is starting to leak a bit. Definitely keep an eye on it. A little residue is no biggie; it's not a major concern unless it's really puddling.

I'm at 132k. Just swapped my plugs, cats, o2 sensors, power steering fluid, differential fluid, and transmission fluid...for the third time since ownership.

Then I went and had her re-tuned

Stock cats were junk. After 132k they were starting to go bad. I replaced them with HFC.
