Just thought I'd post a note about a product I have tried that has produced some excellent results in my 260Z.
I had read a few articles about something called Amtech Engine Restore - a liquid you add to the engine's oil that is supposed to help renew older engines, improve performance and stop any smoking (not that I had any of that).
I was very sceptical about these sort of things, but the motoring journalist Quentin Willson, who writes a lot about classic cars, seemed very impressed with the stuff and from what I can see, he is not being paid to endorse it.
Anyway, I thought it wouldn't do any harm to give it a try, so added the recommended amount at the last oil change.
Now, 1000 miles later, the engine really is running as sweet as a nut and on top of that, my average fuel consumption around town has gone up from about 20mpg to 23mpg. I have also just come back from a trip to Wales, with a good mix of motorway and rural road driving, and was amazed to find I had achieved 30.1mpg despite giving it a bit of thrutch here and there.
The stuff's not cheap to buy, but so far I'm impressed. Maybe I'm imagining things, but if you want to read some press articles on it, you can find them on the company's website here:

And some testimonials here:
