Fixed it for you.

I know there is a fix for it, but I cant justify paying that kind of money. You would think Nissan would fix this problem. If they have recalls on the SL why can't they fix fuel starvation. Lameeeee

Maybe they just need enough people to complain about it then maybe they will move on it.

Lol I'm sure they would in another 4 years from now just like they did with the SL

wholly crap!!! I did not know this issue existed. I hit it for the first time since owning the car. Car stalled at the end of the turn. Had no idea what happened. Thank goodness no one was behind me or to the median of the road.

I will never do any "spirited driving" under a quarter tank again! Fudge that was scary.

Had this happen to me, if you know you have at least some gas in the tank do this. Jack up the driver side rear of the car, the jack works just fine for it. It's helped me when I've made to sharp of a turn on low fuel, once, but I've only had it happen once.

If you are still moving. You can try and jerk the steering wheel back and forth a few times to try and get the fuel to slosh over.

...

1. Put Gas In Car
2. If running low on gas, don't take long sweeping right handers at full throttle and expect a different result then complain about the car
3. 5 years in the 370Z and never ever experienced a "Fuel Starvation" event despite spirited drives all over...
4. See #1 above

I have driven my Z down to 1 dot even had the "low fuel" message warning come up... always made it to the gas station without any issues.

Even on a track day with near empty fuel tank I never had starvation issues.

You're not pushing the car hard enough.

Not really sure your point. I didn't even know the car had this problem. Yet this issue caused me to almost have an accident. I hit the (unknown to me) issue going maybe 90 on a long turn that maybe took 20 seconds to get through.

I love all the asshat comments "it never happened to me so it doesn't exist" or " Simple Solution... keep gas in your car". fanboys or tools!
