The 2006 QC NR is coming up to its 100,000 miles mark and I am looking to do a major service to it.
I've owned it since 2011 as the 6th owner
Nothing has been done to it besides regular oil changes and replace things that break:

-Oil changes ~6k miles
-Power Steering Pump
-Radiator
-Valve Cover Gaskets
-rebuilt all 4 calipers


I'm pretty low key when it comes to maint. If it aint broke, dont fix it.
What do you suggest I do to ensure that it makes it another 100k?

Change the fluid in the differential
Change the coolant
Change the plugs and plug wires
Change the air filter
Change the O2 sensors
Leave the automatic alone
Install a 300 shot of nitrous (optional)
 
Change trans fluid and filter.
Also put on a blower and enjoy it for another few miles.
Down the line build the motor, turn up the boost and enjoy it some more!

Oh yeah, I forgot brake fluid.
Use good quality stuff.
You can bleed each caliper OR remove the vast majority of the old fluid with a turkey baster (or something similar) and call it good. You'd be surprised how often this is done and called "a flush".
It's not as good as bleeding each caliper but it's much better than nothing. There is a very small amount of fluid in the lines/calipers (compared to the amount in the master cylinder.)
Don't let the fluid near the paint.
If you did the baster system then did it again in 10,000 miles it would get 95+% of the old fluid out and still be cheaper than paying a shop.
 
If you decide on the baster method, don't expose the lines to air by taking out too much or you WILL be crawling around underneath bleeding each caliper .
