Fuel Type


Recommended Posts

HI eveyone,

just a question on the fuel the v35 coupes drink

do I need to put only 98 octane fuel? or can I use slightly lower grade octane, e.g. 96.

Fuel is so expensive these days, so I thought it would be an important consideration before i Buy

thanks!

It's often the case that the higher the octane petrol you use the more k's per litre you get. For what it's worth, one of those ACA/TT programs did a test and found you got more k's per $ on the better fuel.

I've been using 95, it runs fine. its just that i get about 7.4km/L compared to 8.4km/L when i filled up 98 Octane.

I cruise in mine and don't rev it out so I've been using 95ron. if i was driving it aggresively I would stick to 98. I called a Nissan dealer when I first got the car inquiring about the 350z and they said it needed 98ron. I asked if can use regular unleaded and the reply was "sure, if you want your engine to pinf and have less power"

well considering we have he same engine as the 350z... use 98ron

i always have used 98 in all my cars

and yes if you have the fuel economy "leaf" you will find that the car runs better and needs less of a heavier foot to get it moving when u have a better batch of petrol in the car

Just for your info, In Japan, Cars use 100RON petrol. Since our car comes from Jap, we better stick close to the number. 98RON is the fuel you guys should use only. Moreover, it will keep the engine cleaner since most premium fuel has some additive added to it.

yep...that's logic.

Do the nippon's only have one choice in RON, while at the pumps?

cheers.

    • Ah, yeah, the diff bushing in the rear subframe, this has been a problem since the start of the V35 in the early '00s and the only solution ever offered by Nissan is a whole new subframe.  Since they are fluid filled, as soon as they form the smallest crack, they leak brown fluid everywhere.  The aftermarket options for the v35 and V36 aren't suitable for the V37 either, Z1 has built an aftermarket option, but a few people have had issues with it. The brace should reduce movement in that bushing, so should extend its life! Did you notice any increase in noise from the driveline?  I know some have installed solid subframe collars and complain about the amount of noise it transmits through to the body, but not sure if the diff brace makes any noticeable difference?

    • Yea I like you had the same thought that maybe it's placebo but I pick up two different people on my way to work on different days. I have not told them of the mods and they both said to me if I had done something as it's alot more comfortable in traffic without feeling the harshness of the gear change. Quite surprised. Before I forget, another reason to get the diff brace is that apparently the stock diff bushings are apparently crap and if its worn and needs replacement, the whole subframe needs to be replaced. This brace should help reduce the wear and tear. 
    • well, FWIW mechanic is surely not right about the bearings being aluminium, they would be softer; mostly tin, nickel, copper and lead on a steel shell.
