As the title says I had to tow my 2010 nismo to the dealership. (49k miles on my OD) after a 2 hour diagnostics they found out the fuel pump went out.

symptoms: car wouldnt hold an idle upon start up. it would eventually die after a couple of attempts.

crazy thing is i thought it was my 3 year old battery so I swapped in a new one and the car fired right up and drove like a champ all friday night and saturday morning. then sat afternoon she wouldn't start. same symptoms.....

heres something odd though.... the dealership just called saying they ordered a pump for a regular Z but it wont work in the nismo. does the nismo have a different pump or just some different bracketry?

some co-workers just mentioned driving with my gas tank close to E all the time burns up the pump since the extra fuel cools it. is this true?
