What is the common solve for Fuel Starvation. All I see is upgraded pumps - how about Pride Auto's
Fuel Pick up Kit - I've searched this forum and found not much chatter on it. Is it a real problem - I watched a recent You Tube comparison between Dark Horse, Nismo & Supra/M3 and it showed the Nismo starving down a full straight.

Anymore remedies for this? Important, not worrying about fuel levels at events!

2024 Z Performance
I have a 2024 Performance Auto trans and do get the "lurch" at lights every so often. My 2022 Frontier did the same thing for the first couple thousand miles too. It has (the same?) 9-speed auto trans too. Hoping it goes away in the Z eventually too but I have heard people say they still have it after thousands of miles...
So I was just thinking about this the other day and you know what? I haven't had the "lurch" for a solid 3+ months now. Had my Z for over a year and 6k+ miles appears to be all but gone. I was hoping that would be the case and does seem to line up with what happened in my Frontier too.

What do you mean about lurch?

Some of us had the experience with this transmission (cause it happened on my Frontier too) where when you are slowing down and get to a stop, when the car would downshift from 2nd to 1st the car would kind of jump or lurch forward for a quick second. Almost like it was downshifting too early.

Over time, at least for me, it has seemed to go away - same experience I had with my Frontier too. I think the car & truck were "learning" how I slowed down? I dont know.
