I cant speak for sure for Nigel, I assume 92 or 93 oct, he's in Colorado so what ever Super Unleaded pup gas istheir, but I run 93 in my SC'd Maxima. Using the J&S Ultra Safeguard to control ignition timing takes the fear of detonation out the picture. Nigel has a J&S I dont know how he has it set. I pull 1 degree of timing per lb of boost starting at 9psi and I peak at ~14-15psi. I am not running an intercooler, Nigel is. The Maxima does have conservative ignition timing from the factory, so I would bet that the Z's VQ35 has more timing advance so it would reguire more timing retard under boost on stock internals with 93oct and/or a good intercooler. I cant believe the stock rods took it, factory shot peening is a good thing I guess.

Oh, my bad, it is. I was thinking in terms of the Z. Ignore my previous comment.
I drove a 2003 maxima while my Z was having warranty work done, and it had pretty bad torque steer with the 255 it comes with, so I imagine 429 at the wheels would be pretty aweful.
