Default 05 Base 49K miles, Tune up Question

Well my z is going to hit the 50K mile marker, What type of service should i be doing to make sure i give it a long life for my z, I do synthetic oil every 5K, i have a injen intake, I clean the filter every 6-9 month, I only put Chevron 91, I upgraded to bigger brakes, so pads and rotters and good. I know i need to change my drive belts they are cracking, Will do a oil change. What else should i focus.

Called the stealer and they will replace the Driving Belt & AC Belt for 240.00 with parts, Courtesy nissan sell the belt for around $35.00 for both belts, I think i will have to look for another shop to replace. I know the synthetic is around $49-59 depending on the deal, I just wonder what else to service, Tranny, Differentials, Hoses etc.

usually at 50k oil change, cabin filter, air filter, brakes (pads/rotors), and bleed the brakes. Im actually a little surprised that your belts need to be replaced already on an 05. My dads 03 vw passat has 130k miles on the original belts, which are about to snap. I usually wouldnt worry on the belts unless either the cars at 70-80k+ miles or 5+ years old.

^ that doesn't sound right for a Z though. I just replaced my drive belts as they were starting to get stress marks. I have an 05 with 40k on the clock.
