Was interested to see if my V35 could run on E10 but according to this website only post 2004 model can?

Now from what I know theres no diff betwean a 03 and an 04 V35

So did nissan change its fuel lines or injectors or something after 2004?

Dunno mate, but I guess it doesn't matter.

Shell has already stopped making their E5 100RON Optimax Extreme fuel,

and most E10 fuel out there sold by independent fuel retailers are based

on regular unleaded with around 95 or 96 RON.

You'd still be better using 98RON BP Ultimate/Mobil Synergy 9000/Shell Optimax from the RON point of view....

Well i was wondering cus up here in far north qld there is a lot of stations that sell E10 95/96 petrol @ the same price as regular if not cheeper which is usualy about 20c per L cheeper than optimax or ultimate 98

try it for a few weeks and see what happens.

you will get less kms and you will feel your car doesnt like it.

Japan has a very high grade RON fuel and the computers know this (learnin computers)

it is best to you the top grade fuel if possible.

Your car will love you for it and you wont get all the crap left in your motor that lower grade fuels give you.

Have never ran it in the V35's i had, but have used it for a little while in my 04 Maxima and i wouldn't recommend it. Regardless of what Nissan says.

I noticed the Max started pinging a little off the lights under load, and after looking into it, found that Nissan Aus where only recommending certain brands of 98 Octane for the VQ35. Even though the Maxima's are listed as ok for E10, and that 95 is also ok.

Looking into it more, I'm finding the VQ35's are very sensitive to fuel.

Off the top of my head, the recommended fuel was either BP, Caltex or Mobil. People were still have probs with Shell apparantly.

I also used shell when i had the V35, and didn't notice any probs.

I'm strictly just going off what a few different Nissan service guys have said in different states.

Pretty much all agreed that the VQ35's (in the Maxima's) only ran as they should on 98, and it was common that Shell wasn't a preferred fuel.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
