This is messed up. Fuel starvation with only 103 miles on a full tank? Come on Nissan, what were you thinking, this was going to be a straight line car?

I posted this in the Stillen thread because I'm running their supercharger with the small pulley. Lots of boost + lean a/f ratio = detonation. It wasn't much detonation, but still scary when you have no warranty.

wow, that sounds scary! SO It only does that when you're low on fuel? I still have some low end detonation on my car.

I heard that even stock 370zs will show some detonation once in a while, but I know that is not entirely relavent in your case!

I heard about that too lol, but my car has no ping before the SC. That was something I notice the very first time I drove it. I'm wondering would a lightweight flywheel will help out?

Low on fuel as in low in the tank or low in fuel as in AFR, he mentioned he had a mostly full tank when it happened but yes it is caused by a lean mixture.

And the plot thickens. For a moment there, it looked as if things were coming around. I need to just lurk in the background and continue to save my pennies.

Stormcrow: I wish I would have gone for a ride in your car. Perhaps I would have been inspired to make a move similar to what you suggested to me that day at Mike's.
