Got a 2003 350, picked it up at 97K miles on it, just hit 125k. Other than Oil changes every 3 months and spark plugs every 6 I haven't really done any real maintenance. I did a search and went through a couple posts for recommendations but nothing really hit like this https://my350z.com/forum/maintenance...intenance.html.

List of things I have had to fix while I've had the car:

Hatch Struts
Both Camshaft Sensors
2 CoilPacks

I plan on replacing the following once it warms up:

Both drive belts
All coilpacks (Hated having to do just the 2 but didnt have cash at the time)
New spark plugs
Rotors
Brakes
Front Bumper
Undershield
Mudguards
New Battery
Alternator (Considering it)

Now my questions is any other recommendations? And please instead of roasting me if there is a post that answers the question for post 100k mileage please direct me to it.

Sorry to say it, but if you are replacing the spark pugs every six months, you're wasting your money. Particularly if you stick with the NGKs, as recommended by the factory. As for other maintenance, stick with factory recommendations, unless there's clear signs the parts are worn out.
