OK, so my car is about to roll over to the magical milage of 60k, where nissan has deemed it nessasry to take $300 of my money to perform a scheduled service.

So any of you think this is worth it?  I have a 93 that was babied until I picked it up at 47900 miles and I have since put on another 8k.  A lot of milage, but still well cared for, I have replaced the brake pads, fuel filter, air filter (k&n), and will be racing in the spring so new plugs, wires, fluids, alignment, exhaust, bushings, spings and shocks are all in the works.

I called up nissan service near me and it turns out to be more of a ford service shop that happens to take an occasional nissan (him: what kind of car is it? me: 240sx (this is shortly after I told him it was a 93 nissan earlier in the conversation)  him: is that a nissan?).  In all fairness to them, they do have a specialized nissan tech who had already left so I have his number and will call in the morning.  

But what is your opinion?  I couldn't get an actual nissan specific answer, the guy just ran though some typical inspections.  If it included a compression test or timing chain adjustment, I could see the value in it, but to change my air filter, fuel filter, oil, coolant, etc. seems pointless.
