Im about to hit the 60K mark on my 99 SE-L and im wondering exctly i should do. I read that i need to replace my spark plug wires for starts and i dont know if i shoud go OEM or get some after marked... What do you guys think?
Also i read that i was susposed to do my Drive Belt-Compr/Fan/Alt. and Drive Belt-Pwr Str. at 30K but i never did that, should i just go OEM on those too?
I was also told that the distributer cap and rotor should be replaced and again should i just got OEM?
What about the platimum plugs should i buy them nissan dirrect or from (i forget the company name)?
Thats about all i can think of right now, any other suggestions for things that should be done.

...
Oh ya and one more thing, what about brether filters i dont even know if there are any or where they are on my car :)

just go with oem parts. don't even bother trying any of those shitty spark plugs they have up there. ngk platinums all the way. as far as the wires, i would just go with oem also. aftermaket wires won't help you right now from whut i have heard.

change the cap and rotor!! if your plugs/wires/cap/rotor are in crappy condition, you might feel a slight power increase. i just go ahead and change my cap and rotor a 30k.

as far as the belts i changed mine at 50k when i got my pullies in. the belts were still in good condition. no cracks and no extra play. it won't hurt to change em.

Stick w/ OEM wires for your level of mods. Unless you get crazy hp, they won't really help you. I would just check the belts and if they need replacing, stick w/ OEM or a major brand. Get dist. cap/rotor wherever is convenient. I always got mine from Pep Boys and never had a problem. Nissan uses NGK plugs. Get them wherever cheapest. Don't know about the breather filter. I have a '92.
