do you expect anything from Nissan? they blame my tpms light on my trailer hitch. they can **** themselves

Haha, the trailer hitch? Really? That explains why it took a while for it to start up again. I have officially learned my lesson haha. Thanks for all the help cossie, repped.

I know right?! I was thinking my headlight bulb burning out was caused by my shift knob, damn modifications!

It was a slight downhill, banked and to the right. I had a little under a 1/4 tank.

I wish mine started up that quick, otherwise I would have avoided the whole tow truck charge. I would have needed a change of pants if that happened at speed in a track situation! Your new tank design will be a huge advantage, can't wait to see the results. :tup:

Not convinced OP ran into fuel starvation but I have (twice). Once on the track and once on public streets. The one on track was caught on video, heh.

I went through the same deal as the OP, except I towed the car a mile down the road to a gas station

Not hard enough if you are not hitting it

The worst thing is watching your car scrape onto the flatbed. Poor INGS lip...

cossie1600 07-26-2012 01:19 AM

Or better yet, have a cop stand behind you for 30 min while you are getting towed off the hwy
