Page 8-3 of the 2004 handbook says this:- FUEL RECOMMENDATION Petrol Engine Use unleaded premium petrol with an octane rating of 98 (RON). If premium petrol is not available, unleaded regular petrol with an octane rating of 91 (RON) (yes it does say 91) may be temporarily used, but only under the following precautions: Have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular petrol and fill up with unleaded premium as soon as possible. Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration. However, for maximum vehicle performance the use of unleaded premium petrol is recommended Pretty sure it tells you to run 98+ unless in emergencies then you can use 95. As Mark has pointed out countless times, it goes into high det map when you run 95RON which looses you power, but the assumption was this would also stop you engine destroying itself. If it doesnt stop it then this high det map cant be relied upon and everyone should most definately be using 98+ . However there are quite a few people who have run 95 for a long time. Dont know if they are just lucky or what.

+1 I run super unleaded 95% of the time and never fill completely with unleaded when I have to buy it, having said that spursmaddave is approaching 100k and I think he uses regular most of the time but I'm sure he'll be along soon to confirm or deny As far as I recall I think the handbook recommends 98 octane. Can running unleaded really do this? It's a bit scary if it can I hope you both get sorted ASAP Dave is apparently on 98K!!

Col you clearly have a case of Zeditis

Funnily enough I've now got a reversing camera fitted too Amanda will never live down the day she drove my Varis lip into a kerb. It was pretty scratch free until then. To think they would sell for about £500 now in a decent state 370z has a nice high front end which is good, wont ever get caught Plus with the reversing camera and the fact that it has bonnet jacks things that the GTR has, we reverse park it everywhere now!

Mrs glrnet drove my beloved Varis lip into a low curb just before the Hoon , she was in tears, bless her, anyway £47.00 later up at Halfrauds for some fibre glass, filler, paint and lacquer and you could hardly tell the difference, hope yours isn't too bad and you get it sorted without too much aggro.

Thanks John but I'm afraid Dave was right, I've just bought a silver one from Chris S

MAY GLRNET

Me thinks there could be a lot of May and September pix

It's touch and go I'd say mate, a lot will depend on the expertise of your wheel man as previously suggested Might be worth trying the governing county council instead of the local council, I had a similar conversation last year albeit not about potholes but the local council told me that I had to contact Surrey Highways dept. which did help.

Well done guys

Doh!!!!!! Thanks guys, especially Stubzie

Guys, I've been looking at the Zunsport front grille and just want to clarify if this will fit a 2004 car, the website says 2007 on? Thanks for your help

Very nice overall package, excellent figures too, I'm soooo tempted by the Berks, might have to have another little run out in Will350z's Zed viewtopic.php?f=62&t=54483&p=786599#p786599

Interesting how the fuel ignited away from the car and not at the car. Top marshalling though

I need to meet you accountant In my 12 years of working, this is the first year I've had to pay tax. not liking it!

Reminds me of an old comedy sketch, it went something like this:- "I got a tax return from the government today, it only asked for three things, 1, how much did you earn? 2, how much have you got left?, 3, send it in."

Hugh, shouldn't that have been "Field of DreamZ"?

I'm so out of touch with that kind of thing since I became self employed (nearly 9years), as usual "Takers get the honey. Givers sing the blues". Don't tell me, your contract of employment now says you have to work the unsocial hours "as required"

Adrian, I'm flattered that you think I am some kind of "foundation" of this community but I've only been here a little over a year and a bit, there are lots more people more worthy of that description and they do absolutely loads for this forum. And they've been here a lot lot longer too. All I do is post and nothing else

How do they justify that? Count yourself lucky, where i work if you move up to management (staff level) you actually earn less than been an hourly paid shop floor worker! So staying hourly paid FTW.

+1, going to try and adjust mine a bit this week, they are a bit too low for my liking but certainly don't want them shining on the ears of the guy in front, somebody posted a nice little guide for this not long ago, hopefully we'll get a nice dry evening later in the week
