My final light is back on. Only thing i did differently from before is I filled up with 98 ron fuel not 95 (which i did because i wanted to redline the car for the first time). After 50km with the new tank of fuel the light came on and stayed on until i got to the 75km mark. Maybe the 98 fuel is cleaner? or has more cleaning agents in it?

i'll take this as my car complaining about the 95 ron diet... i have now formally appologised to the zed

If the lights fail again I'll try techron then.

I have had the same problem. no matter how much I try to put in the tank, the gauge is always lit up short of two lights. and then your guessing when your next fill is, i will try the cleaner.

I HATE the left digital gauge. WTF NISSAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It sux, it looks corny and takes away from the Z car. To top it off for years we have enough people with enough issues to go analog. Everytime I get in my car. I feel like I have a fkin cyborg staring at me. And why silver??? I know in 2013, the blackened gauge will arrive as one of several weak azz updates but... did nissan really think it looked good in 09,10,11,and 12??? I generally hate digital gauges but have seen some nice ones this past year or two. Especially in the BRZ. The Z just doesn't cut it on the left-eye.
I will say this though. The overall layout is magic. But the left-eye kills from looks to functionality. My gas lights work but that METER operation is horrid. I wish I had an analog needle for the gas tank.

Rant over.:ughdance:

2 fule sending units replaced on the G37 and I am on the 4th on the FX50. Nissan says there is no issue. However everyone that has been replaced has a differnt style pick up than the last. Nissan knows theirs an issue but I think are only looking at it internally.

The 370Z has a least 4 or 5 known issue since 2009 by Nissan and only 1 TSB issued.

1- Hatchback bumps (TSB)
2- Oil Overheating problems
3- Fuel Sending Unit
4- Steering Lock Failure
5- Paint issue with some colors
