Thats correct. Heres a pic of chris forsberg 370z and what mine will look like. Only difference is my CBE will turn out the drivers side skirt in this empty area. This will be 100% DD as nothings changing hook up wise. Evap is here nor there. Just turn the CELs off. Only thing i gotta figure out is how to remount the driver fuels float so my fuel gauge will work. Apparently i cant tap into the passengers float so my gauge wont work. Im thinking about cutting a hole in the new tank and mounting it somehow.

The fuel starve is caused by the saddle-style tank, so what you're doing here is actually cutting the other half of the tank off, reducing the capacity by half?
So I imagine that the passenger side bit of the tank is still in place, is there just empty space where the rest of the tank used to be?
I find this interesting because the gas tank in the 370Z is huge anyway and I actually only use half of it (because I can fuel starve the car even on the street when below half a tank just taking long off-ramps at a reasonably fun speed) so I kind of wonder why Nissan didn't just put a small tank in like this in the first place.
In summary, I'm not really seeing a down side to a 10 gallon tank and no fuel starve, especially if this were a relatively inexpensive (and still fully streetable) mod. Although it looks like you are removing a lot of evap/emissions stuff but that's understandable in your case.
