can someone tell me what is involved to get the fuel gauge working... the tank will have to be dropped if i'm right and there is a float inside or something
thanks
nope it is really easy actually. Pull the carpet up in the rear and there are two openings that look onto the top of the fuel tank. The gauge is the one on the left you can pull it out and replace it. I would recommend buying a haynes manual and using that. if you have the digital dash it could also be the problem I need more of a description on how it is acting.

Probably high teens low 20s around town. if you as lucky as me and your car only goes out once in awhile to eat something then you could get maybe 8 miles to the gallon around town. But on the highway I averaged 26 last time I took it to nashville for a Z club event.
got my car!!, yesterday morn, wow this thing is fun, the donuts it will do and the lovely sliding around corners sideways...... needs some things as i said before what kinda gas an i supposed to run in this beast, 89 octane. i filled it up with 87 and it seems to idle a lil rough now, might be cause it was cold
needs...
pwr window motor
fix power steering
new console cover
redo rear carpet and some fabric inside
gas gauge fixed
the shifter is messed up its missin something where it goes into the tranny so its real loose
other things cant think of them now tho
o and inbetween the t-tops by the lights, there is like a lil fan or someting? right behind the overheard dome lights.. do i need this if not i'm ripping it out its makin wierd noises
and does anyone else notice lots of heat coming from around the shifter boot, we pulled it off when going down the highway and dam!! alot of heat comes otta there.....
The little fan in the top is a air temperature reading for your climate control. No 87 octane does just fine as long as you are running stock boost
That was one of Nissans biggest stupid moments was where they put that sensor for the climate control. The little fan is actually a last minute add-on , to keep the interior temperature sensor from reading too high , since it's up on the roof..........
If the climate control accuracy is not really that important to you , go ahead and remove that fan. I did , and it really did not seem to make a difference in how the climate control functioned.

yeah when I bought mine it either didn't run or wasn't there. I've never pulled it (never needed to) of course all I have is heat either way for trying to pull some weight off the car

It's the fuel sending unit that needs to be replaced. You can access from the inside of the car. There's a 6 in. round cover inside needs to be removed, then remove the sender unit after removing 8 little bolts. The new unit runs about $60 or so from various online Nissan retailers.
Micah , isn't that an unusual name for a girl?
