Things I think I should replace
-air filter
-spark plugs
-trans fluid, but I've been reading that you never need to do it idk I think I going to anyways

What other things or fluids you guys think I should change?

At this point, you should do at a minimum:
Belt
Plugs
ALL fluids
Brakes
tires
ALL filters

lol my '12 is a little higher than yours and that's including my east-coast road trip!

honestly reassuring knowing these cars can go so far and hold up so well for such an extended period of time with very basic maintanence

LOL, Naw just on holidays, I've still got a 90,000+ mile buffer. i'm over 232,000 miles right now. gave the car a week off. LOL
However my new truck should be at the dealer by the time I get home...I hope.

I have promised myself the truck will not really be driven until spring. I have to get over 250k on the car first, and I have mods on the truck to do before I really start using it as the Z replacement.

Differential fluid and yes do the tranny fluid too you'll feel a great difference, I just did mine on both @ 90k miles 2010 370z and she runs far smoother now.

Also do a coolant flush, Prestone sells a liquid that cleans out the entire system before you do the flush just run it for like 2 days in your car and presto, swap the coolant fluid.

Check the integrity of your bands.
Brakes, tires, suspension... Maybe the hosing should be considered too. Make sure the oil you use is like 1 level thicker than the recommended due the wear on the Pistons... That's all I can think of...

Not needed, i'm still running 5/30 and no real increase in oil use after 232,000.

Also, don't forget to change the air in your tires.
