I had the same stink(rotten eggs,burning smell) when I first had the car. Dont worry it goes away. But I still get a "smell" when I go past 5k rpm passing or merging. I know its not a burning smell but I think its running rich?

I'm at 3500 miles now and I still get that "rotten eggs" smell, got a good whiff of it today in fact. Is there something else I should be concerned about? That, and the brake squeal its almost embarrassing to drive the thing.

I good hard brake check will usually get rid of the brake squeal that comes from stop and go traffic and light, long brake use.

There is something in Shell Premium gas that causes a bad smell.. I've tried all the local premium gases and it's only Shell.. Anyone else experience this??

Yeah I could see how poor quality gas could cause a smell like that.
Funny, though, I don't remember any smell when my Z was new.
Of course every time I turn off the A/C it smells like a wet dog. But my Maxima did that too.
