haha, I didnt realize that was a joke but now that i think about it there's no way that'll work. I do all the work on the car myself so I'll just have to fix it one day. What actually needs to be changed out, location?

ok. being kind here. to all of you n00bs who fail at searching or checking with the dealer - there's a fuel filler neck recall for the 350Z that's been out for, oh, 4 years now. go to you local nissan dealer and have it performed.

Just a quick question, so even though I don't have any warranty on my car I can still get the problem fixed if it's a recall?

It's a TSB, not a recall. They will charge you to do it.

I thought I had this problem because it showed I was out of fuel at 200 miles. Turns out my sending units are bad. Been driving on it for 5 years now and have put 433 miles on a tank. Took 19.25 gallons to fill up, so I know it's getting all the way full.
