I believe P0603 is a generic code used by the scan tools. The code 0603 related to cylinder #6 is the ECU code specific to the Max. They may have the same number, but different meaning.

New radiator + Install + Flush for $270 doesn't sound unreasonable.

Not sure about intake gasket.

$500 for 3 O2 sensors without installation seem high. I thought CA Maximas have 4 O2 sensors.

I don't think measuring your car MPG on only one tank of gas would give you a good indication of your gas mileage. I think 5 or 6 tanks would give you a more reliable gas mileage number.

Have you removed the wheels and inspect the brakes closely? Pay attention to the inside pads and rotor surface, which cannot be inspected without removing the wheels.

I like your formula (funny guy), but you're right. It's up to the individual whether or not to warm up the car before driving it. I don't think it going to hurt the car if you don't warm it up.
