A Z owner saying the Z has a different tune and requires Prem when the G doesn't

This guy has no clue what he is talking about...take a look. His name is Arnold K. You gotta read through his other posts too. We all know the 6mt requires premium while the autos do not while it is recommended they use it you don't have too. But he insists the coupes requires it but not the sedans. He won't even listen to anything others are telling him.

The autos and manuals are the same when it comes to that, that is truely false information. I don't know where you got this information??

In fact my manual says this:

"Use premium gasoline with an octane of at least 91 AKI. If premium is not available, unleaded regular with an 87 AKI can be used may be temporarily used: have fuel tank only partially filled up with unleaded, and fill up premium as soon as possible. Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration."

Incorrect... And coupe vs sedan auto both have the same ecu tuning.

http://www.nissan-techinfo.com/infin...finiti-G35.pdf

FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Sedan Ð Automatic transmission
models
Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane
rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock
Index) number (Research octane number
91).
For improved vehicle performance,
INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded
premium gasoline with an octane
rating of at least 91 AKI number (Research
octane number 96).
Sedan Ð Manual transmission
and Coupe models
Use unleaded premium gasoline with an
octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-
Knock Index) number (Research octane
number 96).
If premium gasoline is not available, unleaded
regular gasoline with an octane
rating of 87 AKI number (Research octane
number 91) may be temporarily used, but
only under the following precautions:
O Have the fuel tank filled only partially
with unleaded regular gasoline, and
fill up with unleaded premium gasoline
as soon as possible.
O Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt
acceleration.
However, for maximum vehicle performance,
the use of unleaded premium
gasoline is recommended.

Incorrect? It appears you didn't read what you posted..

So, the guy you are complaining about is correct. The Sedans and Coupe's require different fuel according to Infiniti. I am correct, and you are wrong..sorry man.

If we're going strictly by what the Owner's Manual says, then...

Sedan - Automatic transmission models

Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane reading of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research octane number 91).

For improved vehicle performance, INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Research octane number 96).
Sedan - Manual transmission and Coupe models

Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane reading of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research octane number 96).

If premium gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gasoline with on octane rating of 87 AKI number (Research octane number 91) may be temporarily used, but only under the following precautions:

- Have the fuel tanks filled only partially with unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with unleaded premium gasoline as soon as possible.
^the above quotes are verbatim from the 2006 Owner's Manual.

Again, if we are going strictly by the Owner's Manual only, then...

Sedan Automatics can take Regular Unleaded, but Premium is recommended.

Sedan Manuals, Coupe Automatics & Manuals require Premium Unleaded.

One more time...by the Owner's Manual only...

ONLY Sedan Automatics should take Regular Unleaded, but Premium Unleaded is recommended (not required).

ALL Coupes and Sedan Manuals are required to take Premium Unleaded.

Sorry I wasn't wrong. You should have specified coupe. The auto sedan doesn't require 91 octane while the coupe does.

This is what you said: "The autos and manuals are the same when it comes to that, that is truely false information. I don't know where you got this information?? "

You never specified either with your original post, so you should have been more specific.
