How did your transmission fair? Still strong, or did it get replaced?

^^ It's the still in place, and it's perfect. And, it's a great improvement over the original... shifts are smooth, no "notchy," etc.

My transmission feels okay right now with 51k on it, but I'm guessing I will need to factor a replacement in the future from what I have been reading.

What about the throttle body, MAF and/or fuel system cleaning, etc.?

I believe it was mentioned somewhere else here that Nissan does not recommend the use of fuel injector cleaner that you add to your gas tank, but do you need to do any fuel system cleaning on a schedule basis?

with the introduction of 10% ethanol in the gas now a days i do not think anyone really needs that much of a treatment done.

Question for those who do the maintenance work themselves. When you sell the car and the buyer requests service records, what do you give them that will convince them enough that the car is well maintained on time by a car guy?

O, and +1 on getting this stickied.

^^ Just keep a log book of all the service you performed; and keep all receipts for parts, fluids, filters etc.

If you do all the labor, your log book should descrbe this since there won't be any receipts.

The smart buyer will ask for receipts for oil and filter purchases since this is the most important maintenance.

I use the Chevron Concentrated Fuel System Cleaner every 3-5k miles to keep things running smoothe, in addition to the normal maintenance.

I, too, paid the $750 bucks for the 30k mile maintenance and the $165 for new Drive Belts to show the Dealer that my maintenance is up to date because my transmission buzzes when I shift into 3rd and/or 5th from time to time.
