I'm just hoping it's not mod related, because then I need to figure out what mod or the tune that is causing it and I have pretty basic mods. The mechanic suspects the fuel pump. Hopefully it was juts a faulty part that's easy to replace and not something bigger issue.

Yeah, gas pedal died, steering went stuff and I was like f****ck. At least I was on a sidestreet and not on the freeway. Wondering if it's a bad idea to get another OEM pump if that's the problem. I don't think I have much of a choice, though. It's at my mechanic and I don't have time to go find an aftermarket pump to bring to him to get it replaced quickly. Hopefully, I just had bad luck and my next nissan pump won't fails o quickly.

Fuel pumped changed and car is fine now. Wonder what caused it to die so early.
