I have a Nautilus that is about 4 years old. The harness is starting to get fuzzy where is sides all the time near the buckle parts. Should I replace it? If so I have heard mixed reviews about the new buckle itself. Can I use my old buckle pieces with the new harness? Do anyone know how much a harness would cost me?

Fuzzy is normal and safe. Where it frays, actually cuts into the harness, that's a concern. That doesn't sound like what you have.
A new harness assembly is $12 and can be bought at gracobaby.com. http://www.gracobaby.com/ReplacementParts/Pages/ReplacementParts.aspx

You'd have to call Graco to get permission to use the old assembly on the new harness.
My understanding and observation is the material the straps are made of is different in texture, fibre and thickness. There was another thread about it awhile back, forget who commented on it, I agree with them, you shouldn't be swapping them.
As for the new/old buckles. Unless you have an escape artist you are trying to keep buckled, I am not a fan of the new buckles. My 4yo could do the SJKP, Britax and old Graco style buckles no problem. He then and now (almost 7yo) can not do or undo the New style Graco or Evenflo ones. It just makes work for me which doesn't impress me.
Should you need to, you may be able to request the old style buckles/harness, I got them not that long ago...
