the transmission fluid calls for every 36K miles if not driven hard to where its over 248 degrees. but realistically I would say do it every other year based on miles or maybe every 15K.. its not THAT expensive its maybe $900-1K including fluids. Its usually good to do Diff fluid at the same time so maybe $350 more.
oil change is no different than a Z especially if you go to where they have a drive over bay it takes 20 mins...
brakes pads last about 25-30K miles if you dont track.. and usually you can get by with just changing pads not rotors once if they arnt badly cracked. GTR rotors get cosmetic cracks the first time you track it but those arnt a big deal
tires are the only inescapable high cost on the car. fronts last about 7K miles with normal daily driving and a few trackdays/autoX mixed in. they range about $550 each. so i usually replace fronts every year and rears every other year. so its not too bad as i rarely replace all 4 at the same time
if you are smart about your maintenance like knowing where get cheap oem fluids and picking up take off brake pads or tires its actually fairly inexpensive considering the car
i stockpiled that stuff haha...ive got 2 sets of OEM tires and a set of brake pads im giving the buyer of my car as the NISMO uses different of both
