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....

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.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
