i use a little pump gun that looks like a regular pump, it stops when it is full. i also know the car gets 6.5mpg to 7.5mpg, i just do the math and be conservative when i didnt have it

Oh cool, I didn't know such a thing existed! Yeah, I'd probably be too overly cautious, so that pump gun sounds like a good idea for me.

edit: Do you have a link to it? I did some searching and couldn't find anything.

cossie1600 04-12-2011 11:38 AM

i will do it when i get home, on cell phone here.

yeah i was sick of the gas tank leaking fuel onto my car, the way the neck it makes it tough to stick it in there

Thanks a lot cossie!

So sad to read about these issues on a sports car =/
It's like nissan really had no intention of anyone driving these cars aggressively off the showroom floor.

I'd love to do other mods first, but it seems like I just have to do pads, fluid, and oil cooler first.

Which carbotechs are you guys using? I had the xp10's on my last car and I really enjoyed them. Very dusty and squeaky for street use though.

cossie1600 04-13-2011 10:57 PM

XP10 on slicks, probably 8 on street tires. 10 is so aggressive that I hit ice mode quite often

I was using XP12/10 with slicks and AD-08s, but only got three weekends out of a set, so I recently switched to a new endurance compound they just released, RP2. I've never seen ice mode, but I have brembo monoblocs on the front

I run the new RP2 compound on my 350Z racer...I like them

Just wanted all to know - I can now get fuel starvation with a full tank of gas. Unbelievable. I am going to have to do something now. I can’t put more gas in the tank. If anyone knows anyone who can build something like this please let me know. The link below It is for an RX7 but someone out there must be able to fab something like this for the Z. :shakes head:

Wow fuel starve on full tank? That freaking blows

flashburn 05-05-2011 08:27 AM

Wow, crazy. I managed to not get fuel starvation until half a tank at Sebring last weekend. I think this was accomlished by taking a different line for turn 17.
