Seems like Nissan has issue with this on quest also. But at least there was a tsb on it. They get new gas tanks and pumps, while their heritage cars gets no luv!

Might only be time before they realize they need to act on it. Steering lock took like 4 years before making it an official recall.

Is the fuel starve a common thing? I've had my Z close to a year and been down to 1-3 dots everytime i need to fill up. I take fast right turns and all. No problems with mine (im at 7.5K miles). **knock on wood**

Mostly hear about it from the track guys on here. Never had it happen myself

Nope, all the guys who drive their car hard never experience it because they are such great driver that they can beat physics. It's almost like seeing vin diesel drive

It's because they don't granny shift and they double clutch like they should.
