fuel 03-05 Z car and G35 coupe

Does this 3.5 engine _require_ premium fuel or is it just recommended for max
performance?

yes, read your owners manual

I don't have an owner's manual.
I don't have a Nissan product.
And now I don't want one.

Yep, you're better off just to keep using your skateboard to get around.

You think anything that can deliver the same performance will run on
lower grade petrol? Well it may if it's a big lazy V8 but it will be
at the expense of far higher fuel consumption and more expensive
overall. Have to hope they give you big rebate to allow for the
excessive fuel burn.

I see what you mean about a high winding small engine needing premium fuel to
compete with a V8. A friend has an 03 Vette and gets better gas milage than a Z
or G35 with 100 more hp and torque and runs on regular fuel. I would think that
high rev also means high wear and parts breaking sooner.

On my Nissan Altima 3.5S, the fuel cap say 'recommended for better (or
optimum?) performance'.
It has got the same 3.5L than Murano, Maxima, Pathfinder and 350Z.

Thanks. It looks like I will have to go to or call several dealers to find out
for sure
on the Z and G. I suspect that the knock sensors will back off the advance to let
them run on regular, at a cost of a few hp. I'll see if I can find the
compression ratio.
