I've had my jap import 350z around 7 months now, i love it would not change it for the world. From day 1 never put anything else in the tank other than Shell V power, not a single drop of anything else has gone in. I make a regular trip to Bangor racecourse that is 96.4 miles from my door. So far i have done this journey 9 times in the Z. I went to Bangor on Friday, called in at my normal shell garage to fill up, shock horror a tanker was on the court and no petrol for around 20 mins. I did not have time to wait so had no choice but to put £65 of Total petrol in. Tank was not far off empty when filling i put £60 in same as i normally do at the Shell garage it gets me there and back with bit to spare. It was a lovely surprise to see the petrol needle up much further than normal, but i was a bit worried about using anything but Shell V power from what i have read on here. The journey takes me onto the M6 them M54 about two hours ten mins of motorway driving and fast dual carriage way. Once on the 54 i can go bit quicker than i should but is hardly ever any traffic cruise at a nice 90mph for rest of the journey no speed cams. Now the interesting bits: The car sounded so much more grunty with the Total petrol, it was load and bloody gorgeous when put my foot down through the gears Everything seemed a bit more lively the acceleration also seemed quicker. Normally on the Shell V power i get 51km on the Bangor journey. That is 31 miles. On the Total petrol however i averaged an outstanding 59km that is 36 miles. Ok so not a massive difference just 5 miles but it's much cheaper petrol and the car felt the best it's ever had. So i ask this should i got back to V Power or stick with Total, i really have no idea and in a bit of a pickle, does it really do any damage long term ? whilst i would save so much money. I am still a Z novice but i swear the above is correct, any thoughts be most welcome.

Thanks Neil, I think you are right, just hoping somebody may have a spare knocking around.

Bit of a longs shot but does anybody have a spare front bumper for sale, mine has a split and looks pants with plenty of stone chips. 350z fairlady 2003 Jap import. Leicester area Thanks in advance

I have never seen another one in Leicestershire, neighbours been coming over though when giving it a polish.

It's taken just under 3 years of saving for mine. Love it to bits already can't stop looking at it keep going for a drive with nowhere to go !!!! Drives lovely paintwork not great, previous lady owner in London left it for six did not move an inch. Going to Cougar guys next week for check up before service, they been very helpful. Fingers crossed all ok under the hood.

Hi Guys, Finally after 2 years of saving picked up my 350z couple of weeks ago, jap inport 2003 fairlady with 48k on the clock. She drives perfect very very happy. Want the best for her so had early MOT make sure all ok. Thankfully she passed with flying colours, brake pads only have couple of thousand left on them though. Want to get service also done, be great if anybody can tell me of a garage in the Leicestershire area that deals with the 350z rather than rip off no idea main dealer. Thanks for the help James
