The dealer solved my fuel starvation issue
 
When I traded the car in I mentioned this issue and that I have been in communication with Nissan Canada and the dealer was aware of the problem. After I took delivery of my new car they removed the fuel pump assembly to investigate and found that one of the fuel lines was slightly severed by the end clamp. They replaced the fuel line and now no longer has the starvation issue. This damaged line was a stillen supplied line but I'm not suggesting that's the cause because I know plenty of you guys that are experiencing the same problem are NA.
I would have liked to take the damaged line. It they wanted to keep it for the time being.
Just wanted to put this out there so the guys that have this issue can push the dealer for a solution.

Wait so the OEM line was made/supplied by Stillen? That doesn't seem right...

To clarify, I had a stillen supercharger kit and there was a supplied fuel line that failed. What I'm suggesting is that something similar is happening with an oem line on the pump assembly. That's just a guess. The bottom line is that they fixed the problem on my old car by replacing that one fuel line on the assembly in the tank...I hope that is more clear.

We'll see as time goes on. I had my 370z with no fuel starvation at half tank and at times I see it at nearly full. There's no consistency, but it is happening.

Knock on wood... I've had no starvation issues and I've been in the "no dot zone" a few times.

Is the fuel starvation issue affecting all model years?

I don't think this is the answer for most track fuel starvation, but I hope I'm wrong.

Last week I looked down and I just had two dashes. NO miles to empty.
