i used to own a g35 and there wasn't much maintenance to do other than regular maintenance.. oil, belts, fluids, etc..

one time though, the slave cynlinder crapped on me in cold but that was the only special problem i had.

It depends on the dealership. Dealers labor rates and parts prices can vary widely. I would shop your local market and see what each dealer offers for the maintenance charge quoted. There is not a really large amount of things to do yourself if you are so inclined. Oil change, air filter, belts, check fluids. Every30,000 miles be sure to service the fluid systems, i.e. flush brake system, flush transmission if it is an automatic, service power steering fluid ( we actually do a flush here). Be sure to compare apples to apples with price quotes and what they really do. Good luck.

I have had my 350 about a year and have only had oil changes.

You may be looking at some extra maintenance issues with an 03'. Transmission issues are the most reported. but are resolved with an after market clutch. I have heard of window grease being a problem or windows failing to operate. If you can hang out a little longer get an 05' or higher, You'll get a few more ponies.
