Thank you

Really the higher the octane the easier it is for the engine to burn all of the fuel so it is good to use premium. I use it all the time even tho its $3.40 a gallon

Yes, you can use it with the car as is. Now if you actually want to get some performance from the fuel, advance your base timing to 25°BTDC instead of the stock 20º.

+1 for nismo 2-way LSD The 20 cent more a gallon will make up for it in gas millage, less Co2/parts and filters and of course our earth and its atmosphere will thank you with good CARMA!!!
