Other than getting the oil changes/regularly scheduled maintenance, periodic washing/cleaning/detailing, what are other must do things that I should do? Tried searching but couldn't find a consolidated post on everything. I know it's a pretty broad topic, but just general guidelines would help a lot. thanks!
Follow the maintenance schedule in the OM and you're pretty well covered. If you drive outside of what's normal eg. tracking your car, then you should consider an oil cooler, dyno tune, etc which will hit your pocket book a bit harder for maintenance. But that's all part of the Z experience, no?
