slimjim Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 Tried Google? I think we are all in agreement that you should just leave the 95RON as it is and just take it easy until the tank is gone if you want to be 100% sure of doing no damage. Chances are you wont do any anyway, but that risk is up to you. Yup.. .tried google... nadda ... nothing... Starting to think there is a different name for it or something?

JetSet Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 http://www.stratlab.co.uk/stratlab/valu ... ?ic=RH1042 Having read through the blurb it seems that they won't supply individuals with it, sorry. However, you can get it from E-Bay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toluene-99-55 ... 1e64fa2041 Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 that gives you the right to disturb the totally irrelevant and completely pointless tangent at which we have all gone? That was what I was talking about, and Im sorry for wasting your precious time with my completely pointless comment. I also apologise in advance for showing the OP can get Toluene here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/toluene-DIY-Too ... ene&page=1 and at most model shops. I still wouldnt use it myself though.

I bought some a few months back to think paint. Its 99% pure too. Il get the link when im on a pc. You can only get 1 ltr at a time though. But I've read you only need very little toulene.

zDan Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Somehow the thought of pouring dodgy liquids bought off ebay into the car following suggestions from interet forums doesn't quite make sense for me. If I were that concerned I would just call Nissan - and most likely they'll say just drive it and put super unleaded in next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Toulene is a well known octane booster. Not everything bought on eBay is dodgy. Nissan dont know or care. If your car blows up you will need parts from them.

Tricky-Ricky Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Cant believe this one is still going, maybe the sensible option with fuel is, if in doubt play it safe, whats paying a few more pence a liter, compared to the risk of an engine rebuild, a no brainier in my books. If your 350Z is a daily driver, sure it will cost you more, but hay if you can afford to run a 350Z as a daily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjim Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 The OP was saying he always fills with super but during the shortages he couldnt get super. Cheers DBlock... Yes, I drove to three stations. 2 shells and Tesco. ALL empty of ALL fuel. 95, 99 AND diesel! Eventually ended up at a Shell, running on fumes, who had nothing but 95. So I HAD to fill it up. Looking back, I should probably only have put a 1/4 of a tank in... but I THOUGHT I had a huge drive ahead of me... then immediatly after, my boss called to say the meeting was off.
