Maybe you mean Datsun, cause this is who Nissan used to be before they changed to Nissan. At any rate your quote of 140,000 isn't nearly enough, I've owned 3 Nissans, 2 Altimas and now a 2k Max which btw has 130K miles on her and it runs better now than it did when I first bought it.
One of my Altimas had 179,000 miles and it still ran like a champ, I just happened to trade it for my Max.
Even though someone said that you can put Regular Unleaded in your car, I wouldn't hardly recommend it. Use exactly what your car recommends which is 91 or above (I'd say no higher than 94) because your car will knock and ping with continued use of Regular gas, fouling will occur and you plugs will be less effective in the high compressioned VQ motor.
Trust me on this, my wife drove my car one time and she put regular gas in it and my car reacted with a very sluggish behavior, it coughed and hiccupped, I tried adding Octane Booster but it didn't help until I ran all of that crap outta my tank.
Maintenance will be the least of your issues if you changed your oil, filters and do your regularly scheduled services as required.
And FYI MistaCoupa there's no mechanical difference in the configurations/specifications of the G35 Coupe and Sedan as far as engine is concerned when it comes to use of fuel, both are VQ engines and requires the same 91 Octane.
