You pretty much just need to make sure you have enough fuel pump and injectors, then fill the tank, and retune.

While the 370z fuel system isnt "rated" for E85, there is nothing about it that is going to have a significant reduction in lifespan that will you notice except maybe the fuel pump itself. While walbros and aeromotives and DWs seem to do OK with E85, I have been told that none of them are actually rated for it, and lifespan is reduced.. but supposedly not enough that anyone would care.

All of the factory plumbing is fine for E85 though, its all coated steel, teflon, and nylon.

We will see, this is my first E85 ride!
