Looks like I am going to have to go through that manual when I get home and get a better idea what you are looking at.
Just did some googling and you are correct it does have a fuel temp sensor. That's actually kind of neat, never really paid much attention to that before.

Yes I checked it while plugged in, I actually took the whole assembley out and tested it from there. I think I know what the issue is though, after switching the RIGHT resistance setting on my multimeter (noob mistake) i realized that my fuel level sensor is not broken. Once i pulled it all out i played with the sensor and raised it to the full position as i observed the gas gauge, it worked fine and the gas gauge read 3/4 a tank. (had a half tank of gas and we have 2 sensors so the avg was 3/4 a tank) I think what has caused my problems is my jerry rig. I believe its too short and the temp sesnor and fuel level sensor isnt even touching any gas in the tank when below like half a tank. I ordered a new one from courtesy Nissan parts for 350$ (opposed to the local dealships 450) so i guess i cant complain. I really wanted the billet topped one CJM is making but I can't wait any longer I need a legit non jerry rigged product in my car. I will keep you updated, the new part will be going in Thursday.
Again thanks to both of you for the input!
