Scary item this morning: 1.0 g corner, fuel starvation with 6 dots left on fuel gauge, transitioning to full throttle at
6k rpm. Heard 1 or 2 detonations then engine immediately went to some sort of limp mode where it would cut every other ignition pulse above 3,500 rpm. Normally it just shuts off. It kept running, but making hardly any power. Oil temp was 180. Pulled over, restarted engine, now it runs fine again.

This is messed up. Fuel starvation with only 103 miles on a full tank? Come on Nissan, what were you thinking, this was going to be a straight line car?

I posted this in the Stillen thread because I'm running their supercharger with the small pulley. Lots of boost + lean a/f ratio = detonation. It wasn't much detonation, but still scary when you have no warranty.
