My engine is pinging... is this a TSB or anything?

My engine is pinging... is this a TSB or anything?
I thought I would ask here before calling the dealership and getting the run around.
For reference: 2005 G35 Sedan, sport, 6spd, 33k miles.
About 4-5 months ago I noticed my car would ping (fuel detonation) under moderate load and at low RPM's. Like being in 2nd gear, lugn' it around and then stepping into the throttle a little more.
It rarely does it when running it hard and under WOT. I've always used 93 Octane and always from one of the 3 major carriers here in Texas.
I've tried using Techron and OTC fuel system cleaners but nothing seems to work.
The only mod my car has is the Stillen exhaust but that's been on the car since 3k miles or so.
Thanks for any input on this.
