2003 G35 with manual trans? Fuel rec.
Hi all.
My wife just got a 2003 G35 with only 66K miles. Awesome car. Thing is, it has a manual transmission. Everything I've read about the G35 says that a manual trans wasn't available for the 2003. CarFax says that it was first registered in February 2003. Four door car has leather seats and 17 inch wheels. I'm just curious about the seeming discrepancy.
Also, I'm a bit confused about the recommended fuel. The manual says it should have 87 octane premium. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but to me, 87 octane is regular. Manual says the compression ratio is 10.3:1. If so, I would expect it to need 91 octane or higher.
Thanks very much for any information.

Really only 5hp? Feels like more than that. Almost like running the a/c

I don't feel any HP loss from running the A/C. In fact, i think the G35 is one of the best cars's i've driven in terms of low parastic loss from running the A/C. I've driven cars that feel like they lose 50 HP when you flip the A/C on.
As for my personal experience, i've run 87 and 91+ in my car and never really noticed any SOTP difference
