It puts the transmission in manumatic mode, which allows you to manually shift the gears UP or DOWN. The coupe recommends Premium, I normally use premium in my sedan as well. Look on the inside of the gas tank door, it will tell you there and also in the manual.

Lower octane gas may causing "pinging"/detonation under WOT. So yes it could possible cause damage.

Possibly if you don't use the 'right gas'. By that I mean with the coupe you are suppose to follow the manual recommendations and one of those is a sever restriction on using anything but premium (based on my 08 manual). With the sedan it seems to be more of a performance issue (also based on my 08 manual).

Not sure if there are the same restrictions on the G35 coupe as there are on the G37 coupes. I would recommend that you read the manual if you have it and if not then get a copy (possibly online) and follow the recommendations in the manual.

In any case I typically use premium in my 08 G35 XS but I don't worry if I have to drop in a little bit of something else on occasion. There are a few here that never use premium in their sedans and claim no issues at all. I figure that most will not press their vehicle to the limit and therefore a lose of 10 hp or so will not really be all that noticable, especially when you have close to 300 to deal with.
