Bit the bullet, bought a petrol can and made the jurney to the station, nice 20min walk, weather was awesome, was enjoying the walk because I knew walking back with 4gal of fuel will suck.

Crossed the street walking back, cars were stopped at the light, asked a dude if he could give me a lift just up the road, he said jump in faith in humanity restored

Filled up with 4gal and she fired right up.

Suck it the Nissan engineering team the designed the fuel system. If i told my manager that there is no way to design something so that consumers will not get stranded if the tank is down to 1/4 while taking a hard right in a frikin sports car I'd get fired! I would expect this on a family sadan or an old american car.

No you shouldn't! Besides my Z, I own two 40 year old Corvettes, no issues with fuel starvation with 'em. Nor has anyone else that I know of with an "old American car". Just sayin'...

Glad you got things sorted out quickly and are back on the road!
