oil changes should be religious. always use synthetic and change it once every 3 months or 3000 miles. use 10w-30 or 15w-50 depending on temp. when cold (less than 50*) use 10w-30, when warm use 15w-50. many turbo cars use a little oil, so check it every time you fill up on gas. check your tire pressure while youre waiting too.
spark plugs and fuel filter should be replaced twice as often as prescribed by nissan.
maintain your cooling system. make sure there are no bubbles in it. boosting isnt fun with a blown headgasket.
clean that airfilter and check for damage, etc, often. FOD (foreign object damage) on compressors is expensive.
pressure test it often. youre losing honda killing hp if all your boost is pissed away. check my "how to make a pressure tester" thread in this section. fix any audible leaks. hose clamps that are not parallel with the pipe tend to leak. make sure all pipe ends are bead rolled. it is embarrassing to pop a connector loose.
