Part Upgrades
Hey guys I have a question. I have a 2006 350z with 119k miles. I want to go ahead and replace some of the old parts with new ones so that I avoid troubles in the future. Which of these do you think I should start out replacing to increase/maintain power and durability of my car?

Good idea to baseline the car with all fresh fluids front to rear. Good 10w-30 synth oil, Redline MT-85 in the manual trans (AT: Nissan Matic-S - supercedes Matic-J), Nissan fluids suitable for LSD in the rear, spec brake/clutch fluids of your choice. Check for leaks throughout this process and rectify as needed.
Along with that, all new filters (oil of course and air).
Once done with that, check your brakes for wear and R&R as needed.
From that point, optionally, you might want to check out the suspension components for wear and R&R bushings, shocks, etc. as needed. You should be good to go from there and just replace other stuff on as-needed basis.
This is pretty much the same for ANY used car.

1. The car isn't in my name at all
2. Dealerships are expensive
3. I want to learn how to do this kind of stuff on my own
4. The nearest dealership is pretty far away :P

Yea but:
1. The car isn't in my name at all
2. Dealerships are expensive
3. I want to learn how to do this kind of stuff on my own. Alright so if I want to refill my fluids, how should I do it? Do I have to drain it somehow? Or can I just add the new one on top of the old.
