Fuel Starvation poll
 

I am curious to those who have experienced fuel starvation, what year your Z is. Manufactures often make changes without notification, like the steering lock, it just magically disappeared mid 2011 & then was recalled in about late 2012.

Anyway if you have experienced fuel starvation please list what year your Z is. I'm trying to capture info on if the newer Z's have suffered the same. I know driving styles & fuel levels vary between drivers, but just curious as to what years have suffered the most.

Thanks guys :tiphat:

Are 2014's even on lot's yet :rolleyes:

What about, my 2009 has never experienced it?

I think having a running Z is sort of a requirement to experience it :icon17: Still wishing you well with that ;)

Thats cause you drive around on A/S+ :rolleyes: Not enough grip to get fuel cut. BTW A/S+ are getting replaced. Michelin just released the A/S3's. We got some shipped to us yesterday.

I drive on 2-3 dots all the time, drive hard on turns nothing yet

It isn't a year thing in all liklihood. Just the way it is.

Àsshole :tup:

No A/S+'s here, that's on the ISF

Btw, people are F'ing with your poll, no way 2 2014 users are having fuel starve

null.. no fuel starve issue.

Not a great poll as people's opinion of how they drive will differ greatly!! Only way is for everyone to pull their pumps and see if pics very.

:iagree:

There should be a section on the poll for never experienced fuel starvation. Personally I never have. I drive on low fuel all the time and drive my car hard.

definitely making sure not to buy them 2014's... :ugh:

Good idea :ugh2:

They will be within the next couple of weeks.mines being released from port tomorrow lol

Well it looks like we have it now, but I didn't add it because just when you think your out of the woods :facepalm:

Yeah that's why the 2nd post :tiphat:

haven't experienced it yet

*knocks on wood*

Correct. Same tank 09-13.

I've never had an issue and in no way do I baby the Z

i only think track guys/gals will experience this, no one who just streets their car should be experiencing fuel starvation unless you are breaking a bunch of laws

hit it once on a cloverleaf onramp. was probably doing 40-50 on the ramp with about 1/2 tank of gas. luckily no one was behind me. was able to pull off, restart it and get it to go.

at first i thought the clutch went out. car would not move with gas. pretty frightening

Yeah, but they could have changed the way the fuel is picked up. There is a $1000 fix mentioned around here that changes the pump & pick up while utilizing the same tank. Like I mentioned, sometimes manufactures will discover something & change it later down the production line without making any noise about it. Oil cooler, steering lock both come to mind ;). Other manufactures do this as well without issuing a recall.

I drove low fuel all the time. Put the new LSD in and borrowed a friends set of RS3's and first hard corner which was on on ramp to the highway and sure enough I hit fuel cut. Had 5 dots left. Was sad but super excited all at the same time lol. Put 2 gallons in it from the gas station and fired right up.

Also not sure if happy or sad that I'm the only 2012 so far to hit fuel starve lol.

Remember this can happen to you.

Before some of you guys brag about how fast you drive, you might want to list the tires you run on too. Driving fast on Hankook V12 is not the same as driving fast on RS3....

Well its good to know there was no change. Now 09-12 owners can bitch to nissan for a damn fix.

This poll is only for people that drive aggressive or track their car.
I have this issue but I track the car and hard right turns are notorious for this.

Thats why you should always have 3/4 tank or more if your going to track or drive aggressive.You can address the issue with a few aftermarket devices.

never had it happen on the street, even down to 2-3 dots but, on the track half a tank and it happened, but it let me redline 2nd and almost redline 3rd before it did it..

:iagree:I drive aggressive......all the time. I swing corners as much as I can. On the Bridgestone RE760's I have yet to hit fuel starvation even though with the same style driving on the RS3's it happened on my first hard right hander and yes, I've tested the same corner MULTIPLE times on the RE760's. Tires give you the ability to hit fuel starvation!

That could be true. Also, less 12's and 13's sold, so that could be a reason for lower numbers as well.

I feel like as long as I don't drive like an arsehat, I'd be fine. The only time I fuel starved was when I wanted to burn my old yokohama's in the parking lot. Little did i know, I had only 4 dots of gasoline. oops..

A few???

I agree. A few is incorrect. Only 1 :tup:
