Reviving this thread because....

Had 2 dots left in my nis, was at full throttle on my way back from work in 3rd gear, (2 miles from home) on the highway, about to get an exit, at 6k RPM and the car dies. First thought was omg my Z is dead. Pulled over on the exit ramp, called my buddy and he picked me up and we got a gas can, 2 gal of 93 later it started.

That low and you could have had the fuel starvation on right hand turns the car is famous for. Also, you have to remember at full throttle you may only be getting 4 or 5 mpg so what you have left will go really quick.

Always keep the dots ringin! I dont want to be that one person who is stranded on the highway and has to call someone for gas. Then that person says u are on ur own, and dont bother calling back.

Ive never ran out of gas but I have had fuel starvation happen like 5 or 6 times (half of them when on the track). Funny enough I was only stranded twice and neither of those were on the track.
