My 2006 350Z is approaching 100,000 km or 60,000 miles. (I'm currently at 93,000 km / 58,000 miles.)

Curious about any maintenance tips I should look into.

The brake pads were changed two summers ago, as well as the A/C belt.

I heard the timing belt will need to be changed, as it's recommend at 100,000 km.

Anything else? Any advice? Please point me to any threads I may have missed on the subject.

 

There is no timing belt on the Z. Nissan uses a chain that should be good for the life of the motor.

 

Chill out.60k,its just broken in lol.
Besides the belts(all of them,not just the A/C),I'd think your battery
would be going by now.Possibly you have replaced.The usual stuff needs doing.
Oil changes,filter etc.Plugs should be OK as well as the coolant.Is your car
stock,no mods under the hood?I'd clean your throttle body.If it has not been done,
its dirty by now.Of course,your air cleaner filter or,clean your aftermarket filter.
If the car IS stock,drop in a K&N.How are your tires wearing?If OK,let it be.
If you are getting unusual wera,get the alignment checked.

 

JCITY, thanks. The car is all stock except for the aftermarket air filter and stereo.

The rear tires have been replaced, the oil changed, and the aftermarket air filter cleaned via blowing it out with an air compressor. As far as I know, nothing else has been done.

Why do you suggest an K&N air filter? The one I have can been seen here: http://xona.com/350z/.

 

Because people think they are great, just like Royal Purple? It's a popular brand. That's it.

I've heard some bad things about them - mainly the oil they are soaked in can mess up the MAF. I also heard there can be some power loss.

 

I wouldn't recommend a K&N since there's a good chance you're going to get oil on your MAF sensor. You're better off just sticking with OEM on the air filter. This has been argued back and forth a gazillion times, but I've never seen a MAF go bad using a stock filter, though I HAVE seen a MAF go bad with a K&N drop-in that had been over-oiled (on a Mitsubishi Eclipse).

 

Thanks for the info. The both of you. I'll have to look up what air filter I have. At the moment, this is the best pic I have of it. The car is at the shop for the moment so I can't run outside and check:
