Also worth mentioning that only the VQ35DE in the Z accepts premium only. Our FX35, my uncle's G35 sedan, and our neighbor's M35 all allow for regular. Where as a Z would ping like mad with anything less than premium, the other three will run along just fine. Engines have different tunes.

P.S. We still only fill our FX with premium only. No worries.

Wrong as usual. The G35 6mt actually requires premium while the auto it is recommended to use premium fuel like it always has. The M35 also is the same way. The only one that doesn't anymore is the EX35.

I am amazed how much misinformation you are going to keep spewing.

Nissan built the cars for specific purposes, this isn't a case of "ford - mustang......mercury - capri" here.
As far as the 06 vs 07 battle, really, is it a battle? Same driver in each car, the 07 is faster. I don't think that is up for argument. Is one easier to mod? I hope so, it has been out since 03. .

Since I can see Solo being quoted:

I'd like to inform him that not only is he a math failing moron, but also picks fights that he's going to lose. I looked at all three owner's manuals. The 03-06 G35s can run on regular - it frigin says so right there. I just looked at my FX manual, and so can my FX. I looked online, and so can an M35. For God's sake, how is stupidity like this tolerated on this forum?

I'm looking now: M35 Recommended Fuel: Premium. M45 Required Fuel: Premium Only. Same goes for the FX, same goes for the G35 - don't know if there's an exception to the 6MT, but I've never heard of one.

And in all three owner's manual it states that Premium is recommended, but not required, regular can be used. And in my Z manual it says only premium is required. And that means slightly different tunes between two engines.

Now what? Oh teh noes! Nissan must be wrong! SOLO is always correct.

Moron.

I owned TWO G35s, and now a 350z. All Nissans can run on regular. In the owners manual it says on the autos "87 octane but recommended 91+ octane", on the 6mt cars it says 91+ octane required" and says it on the gas doors.

You OBVIOUSLY can't read what other people post. You have no clue wtf you are talking about and need to leave this topic.

I don't understand why people tolerate you when all you do is post stupid crap and won't read other peoples posts?

I was never wrong. You were saying it wasn't required. The only cars it is required on is the 6mt cars. You are just repeating what I said trying to correct yourself. The only person here that is a moron is yourself.

I'm going to un-ignore you because this is fun.

Nowhere, nowhere in the manual of my car does it make any distinction between auto or manual requirements for gas. It says: "Use premium gasoline with an octane of at least 91 AKI. If premium is not available, unleaded regular with an 87 AKI can be used may be temporarily used: have fuel tank only partially filled up with unleaded, and fill up premium as soon as possible. Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration."

Sh*t...and nowhere does it say anything about autos being able to run on regular. All Nissans can run on regular, eh? While looking for an G35 manual PDF file, I stumbled upon a guy on Nico who's been running his 2006 6MT with 87 for 6k miles.

Bu, bu, but SOLO, I thought you can't run regular on a 6MT. I thought it was required only.

And to clarify: I know that Coupes are premium only, but does that bode the same for non-revups? And Sedans can run 87. But that precisely means that not all Nissans can run 87. It also means that the G35, M35, and FX35 can all run on regular as I said. And that they have a different tune than the Z.

It is a known FACT on g35driver that the 6mt requires fuel. It even SAYS IT ON THE GAS DOOR. And like I have said 2-3 times now it isn't required to use premium fuel on the auto cars, it is recommended.

I ran 87 octane a few times on my 6mt, guess what, it pinged badly. Many others also tried it. You have a lot to learn.

Wrong. Coupes have the same engine as the sedan and same ecu. 6mt requires premium, autos it is recommended. Again it is in the owners manual and on the site.

Arnold gets owned all the time..

http://g35driver.com/forums/showpost...41&postcount=8

Again like I said, 03-06 autos you can use regular but it is recommended to use premium for best performance.

03-06 6mts Premium is required.

Snip...--

---

The owners manual is the same for the coupe and sedan. (At least mine is)

It says:

Sedan 6MT: 91 Required
Sedan 5AT: 87 Required, 91 Recommended.

Coupe All Models: Premium Required

The interesting part, is that in 05', the Sedan 5AT and Coupe 5AT have the same engine, but the fuel requirements did not change. Coupe still requires 91, Sedan still says recommended.

Please, post me a scan or direct quote from the owner's manual that makes a distinction between auto and manual gas requirements. Last I looked, it made no such distinction in my uncle's book. I said that G35 sedans, M35s, and FX35s can use 87 without problems. You said no they can't, and only the EX35 can, which is bullsh*t, because it specifically states so in the manual that you can use 87 on those three.

Then you said all Nissans can run on 87. And I proved you wrong. Again.

Now you're talking about auto G35s being able, and MTs not. You're running around in circles and dodging the original point at hand. Stop chasing your own tail. You're totally lost and bringing up points that have nothing to do with my original statement.

Bottom line: As I already stated, in the owners manual of Infiniti's three flagships it specifically states that 87 is safe to use. And that is an indicator of a slightly different tune in contrast to a Z.

WOW - this thread has gone crazy...

OF COURSE the '07 is a bit more powerful. Do you think Nissan would make modifications and make it LESS powerful?? But - it is not significantly different IMO. But - that is just me....

AND - when the 370 comes out - it will be another step up in power and performance. Anyone expect anything different?

But still - the '06s are not suddenly competing w/clapped out old Ford Escorts. There are differences between the '06s and 7s - and in an all-out drag race, I am sure the '07 will pull away. Nissan wouldn't have it any other way. I like my '06 - got a great deal - and I plan on enjoying it for many years. Thanks.

- John

Your first post on this subject:

"Also worth mentioning that only the VQ35DE in the Z accepts premium only. Our FX35, my uncle's G35 sedan, and our neighbor's M35 all allow for regular. Where as a Z would ping like mad with anything less than premium, the other three will run along just fine. Engines have different tunes.

P.S. We still only fill our FX with premium only. No worries. "

My response to you:

"The G35 6mt actually requires premium while the auto it is recommended to use premium fuel like it always has. The M35 also is the same way. The only one that doesn't anymore is the EX35."

And your response which you were wrong in:

"I'd like to inform him that not only is he a math failing moron, but also picks fights that he's going to lose. I looked at all three owner's manuals. The 03-06 G35s can run on regular - it frigin says so right there. I just looked at my FX manual, and so can my FX. I looked online, and so can an M35.

And in all three owner's manual it states that Premium is recommended, but not required, regular can be used. And in my Z manual it says only premium is required. And that means slightly different tunes between two engines."

And now....again the G35 Sedan says like I have been saying and you keep saying it doesn't, in the owners manual, it says the 6mt requires premium fuel, while the auto does not. The auto it is recommended to use 91+ octane. You came in here trying to correct me saying it doesn't when indeed it does. I posted the owners manual info for you, and here it is again:

http://www.nissan-techinfo.com/infin...finiti-G35.pdf

SNIP from the owners manual of a 2005 G35 Sedan:

FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Sedan Ð Automatic transmission
models
Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane
rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock
Index) number (Research octane number
91).
For improved vehicle performance,
INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded
premium gasoline with an octane
rating of at least 91 AKI number (Research
octane number 96).
Sedan Ð Manual transmission
and Coupe models
Use unleaded premium gasoline with an
octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-
Knock Index) number (Research octane
number 96).
If premium gasoline is not available, unleaded
regular gasoline with an octane
rating of 87 AKI number (Research octane
number 91) may be temporarily used, but
only under the following precautions:
O Have the fuel tank filled only partially
with unleaded regular gasoline, and
fill up with unleaded premium gasoline
as soon as possible.
O Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt
acceleration.
However, for maximum vehicle performance,
the use of unleaded premium
gasoline is recommended.

Recommended. Premium. That's for a 2003-2004. Sorry, I don't see a distinction for 6MT cars.

Seems to me the premium requirement is only for the Rev-up Gs.

I have proven you wrong too many times to tell. You have yet to prove me wrong since I haven't been wrong YET.

I never just said autos, I said above autos recommended 91 and 6mts required. READ.

Oh wait, you actually found a requirement in the G? But you said the G especially the Sedan doesn't require it. lol

And now....again the G35 Sedan says like I have been saying and you keep saying it doesn't, in the owners manual, it says the 6mt requires premium fuel, while the auto does not.
First, please learn how to use proper English, because I have no idea wtf you said in the bolded part.

The auto it is recommended to use 91+ octane. You came in here trying to correct me saying it doesn't when indeed it does. I posted the owners manual info for you, and here it is again:
What the hell? Where did I do that? I said that autos can use 87 because the ECU was tuned for it. I never said 87 was recommended. I even said:

I'm looking now: M35 Recommended Fuel: Premium. M45 Required Fuel: Premium Only. Same goes for the FX, same goes for the G35 - don't know if there's an exception to the 6MT, but I've never heard of one.
I seriously don't even know wtf you're talking about anymore. My original point was simply that the three cars can run on 87 without immediate side-effects. Which is completely true. You said they couldn't, not even the M35. I proved you wrong. You said the EX35 was the only one. And again, I proved you wrong.

Good. F-ing day.

Dingbat.
