Fuel starvation
 
Anyone know if Nissan has figured out a fix for the starvation issue?

Been looking around to what needs to be improved in my car and remembered I had one event of starvation (right sweeper at 80mph at a 1/4 tank). So I've always had it above 1/3. Had plenty of track days since and I haven't noticed it. Looking at past experiences here and realized some are worse than others.

Was wondering if my 2018 has had the issue (not resolved) improved compared to older cars?

It hasn't been resolved. If the fuel pump top hat breaks, it makes it way worse. The more experience you have, the faster you go, the better tires you get, and then it will show it's weary head. Don't worry about it until you get to that point.

So what you're saying is I should add a new fuel pump/top hat to my list of things that I dont need but want oh-so-very-badly

So my next step is getting better tires. Im looking ahead to prevent getting to "that point" at speed. It was a haunting experience.

Im looking into the Z1 kit.

Some get fuel starve, some don't. There is no rhyme or reason for it. Doesn't matter what year the Z is either.

If you are going to do anything. Get the CJM tophat for insurance.
