what fuel should u put in an 06 plate 350z gt (276)

regular is fine.

The recommended fuel is 98RON.
Nissan claim that you will drop approx. 15hp by using 95RON

ETA: But using 95RON will not do any damage to the engine.

Like alot of new engines equiped with knock sensors, they can adjust the ignition timing accordingly. So for higher octane fuel the ignition can be advanced for more power, or retarded for lower octane fuel to prevent detonation.

Import = V-Power or Tesco 99
UK car = regular 95ron unleaded

+ Twin Turbos & its V power (handful in the wet though)

The 350Z will run without any problems on 95 octane unleaded. There will be some loss of performance as a result (about 15PS) but no long term effects on the engine.

Ask Nissan
