Default Advice for servicing

Just a few things I'll be doing for my 30k service...does this sound about right or does anything need to be changed? I did look at the factory service schedule but thought my list seems a bit improved

*Spark plugs
*Transmission Fluid drain/refill
*Differential Drain/refill
*Oil & Filter Change
*Radiator Coolant Flush
*Clutch fluid drain/refill
*Possibly changing brakes to Stoptech Stage 2 (rotors, pads, lines)
*Not sure if any of the belts need to be replaced or not...car is a 2006 with 26k miles on her. Not sure if anything else needs replacement

Will be getting all work done at Overdrive Auto / J-tran

save yourself a good amount of money on labor and parts. the spark plugs should not need changing at 30k miles unless you have played around with your air/fuel a lot and fried them. Maintenance schedule doesn't even call to replace the plugs until 60 or 90k I think.

According to Nissan maintenance schedule, it says replace spark plugs at 105k miles.

I would stick with the recommend maintenance. Items on your list are overkill.
