The repair shop also mentioned that someone had done a great job on my son's G35S which included PSS10, sway bars, chassis braces, chamber kits, etc.

The repair shop thought I just bought this car and also asked me if I knew who did those jobs... I said it's me and long time ago...

They also mentioned my son's car was still at very good condition...

Actually when I bought this 3 year old cheap used car in 2009's Christmas, I planed to sell it around 7 years later. So, I never drove it slowly (with fully load of my family)... But, I always did the maintenance tasks on schedule to keep its good acceleration, braking, handling, etc and keep having fun on the roads...

That's why when I was driving G35S with my family on board, every time I looked at the back seat... My son did not sit on the seat but was LYING on the seat!!!

I also told the repair shop that I would have some long trips very soon... (Of course, I won't... Just a little lie )

So, I asked them to do the inspection as thoroughly as possible...

Of course, don't expect this old Nissan is as tight as a new car... But, I think all the parts are still functionable and good... (if you are not very very picky)

Actually many maintenance items are due for my son's G35S and my wife's M35X... I'm just too lazy to do them as I also have to maintain my GSF now... (Time passes by so quickly!!!)

This year I had already done coolant change(every 2 year) and brake fluid change(every 3 year) for my wife's M35X...

Besides this year I also already did 3 oil changes... (my wife's M35X, my son's G35S and my 2017 GSF)

I also have to do another oil change for my GSF again next week since I drove my GSF A LOT recently... (I really have good fun with the Ohlins suspension)

There are already A LOT OF work... So, I will definitely NOT buy any unreliable cars which just ask for more troubles... (I may get mad even just when the battery is dead!!!)

I also told my children that actually you should thank Nissan, not me.

If our old Nissans are not reliable, we will sell them and buy some newer(4 year old) but lower grade used cars such as Civic or Collora...

Now my children can drive/enjoy fast and fun luxury cars... The only drawback is I have to pay more money for the gas until they are graduated from colleges...

I almost forgot...

This year I've also changed cabin filters for GSF and M35X (every 1.5 - 2 years) and power steering fluid for M35X. (every 4 year)

I have to do the fluid change like the below video 2-3 times for a complete change.



Again, a lot of work...

I will replace differential oil for my GSF and my wife's M35X next week...

Redline is for GSF and Valvoline is for M35X.

Toyota differential oil is very expensive... (about USD40)

Toyota Differential Oil

Redline is much cheaper (about USD20) and also full synthetic...

Redline

Of course, Valvoline is the cheapest (about 12USD) and also full synthetic...

If I use Valvoline non-synthetic oil, it only costs about 6USD... So, Toyota OEM oil is really expensive!!! And I'm also not sure whether Toyota OEM oil is synthetic or not???

Differential oil is very thick... So better change it at summer time...

Believe it or not. One time I changed it in January. I had really hard time changing it... (The process was very painful as I remember)
