stujeffrey Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Well I purchased my new toy yesterday! Got a cracking deal on a 2004 350Z GT in sunset orange. Couple of questions.....things I didn't check before handing over the cash... Can I run this on normal unleaded....or should you always use super unleaded...you know with fuel prices today!! Secondly I notice a little squeek from the rear suspension when I get in the car....its nothing major and car handles fine, just had a P3 service....anything to be concerned about?

alessandro Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Welcome The squeak from the rear suspensions might be nothing and just need some TLC, some of the experts will be around soon to advise, for petrol, super is best as it give the best performances but the ECU will adapt to normal petrol too.

martinmac Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hi and welcome to the forum. The fuel thing has been argued for ages. I think the general consensus is the engine likes the good stuff and it can be argues that better fuel economy can be achieved. I live in the middle of nowhere and have to make do with the cheap stuff sometimes and have had no problems. Hope that covers it without opening the debate again. There are a couple of possibilities for the rear squeak but the traders on here can help you to sort it without any drama or major outlay.

Beavis Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 to the forum +1 on whats been said about the petrol. Rear noise may be the rear drop links, they tend to dry out but normally they makes a clunking sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choptop Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Welcome +2 with what has been said about the petrol, but the car was designed to run on 99 Octane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stujeffrey Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Thanks for the feedback guys! Will try both petrol types and see what gives better economy for price! Rear suspension isnt bothering me....I only notice it when I sit in the car....it doesnt squeek on the road at all....but maybe thats because I cant hear it over the cracking engine note and BOSE!! God damn the stereo is loud in the GT pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor austin Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 bet if you open your window whilst going real slow ie parking etc you will hear the creaking sound...no big deal its the drop links, I took mine off and lubricated them whilst moving the ball joints.. noise gone cost 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rothers2901 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hi welcome to the forum as for the fuel it's Premium for me all the time. unless you are doing loads of miles the cost is negligible. Generally 5p difference per litre, so to fill up 80 litres is an extra £4. That not a pint of lager in town . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
