These pages look at the periodic maintenance schedule as listed in the owners manual. It is important to note that different countries may have variations to the schedules listed here and the reader is advised to contact their local Nissan dealer for country specific information.

Currently there is only the R34 periodic maintenance schedule. If anyone has the schedules for other models we would be interested in including them!

Every 5,000 km (3,000 Miles)/3 Months, replace the engine oil.
SRS airbag systems should be inspected at the first 10 years then every 2 years thereafter. The maintenance schedules listed here do not take into account driving under severe conditions.
See here  for more details.
