Just purchased....

Couple of issues like a faulty fuel gauge, ran out of gas because gauge was showing half tank. Thankfully still had AAA. Flickering parking lights. Otherwise a good running car.

Welcome to G35 Driver! Very nice/clean coupe! Due to time, often the fuel pump which contains the worn float no longer gives the correct signals. If the float can't be replaced, you may need to get a new fuel pump. It may be a PIA but to fix the flickering issue you may have to check all the bulbs front and rear for one that's loose. Rear tail lights need to come off to check, did mine two weeks ago. Need help take her to Nissan, in many ways they're better than the Infiniti stealership!
Again, Welcome to Driver and enjoy that great look'in coupe...Gary

It's the fuel pump assembly that would need to be replaced if he can't get it working by attempting to service the existing one, not the fuel pump. The fuel pump itself resides within the assembly and is responsible solely for pumping fuel and providing fuel pressure, but has nothing to do with sensing the level of fuel in the tank.

For the flickering tail lights, you need to first start out by trying to determine if moisture is getting into the light fixtures or possibly even into the trunk. It could be shorting out the wiring or the plug receptacle for the bulb. This is common in the rear of vehicles, particularly with more exposed type bulbs such as in the license plate bulbs.

Try to do some tests and determine if it's both side bulbs that are flickering and if it's also the bulb for the license plate light that flickers. That would indicate a problem on the main wiring harness going to the rear rather than a problem on one of the branches going to a specific light cluster, or within the cluster itself. If you're experienced with a multimeter, you can use it to check for continuity between the two ends of any given wire and make sure there is no short. Do the lights in your trunk also flicker when you open it? Many people have problems with that as a result of the wiring harness for that being too short and wearing out after rubbing against the chassis when opened a couple of hundred times.

Assembly! Darn, I knew I was missing something during my reply! Just a week ago I was looking at a brand new gas pump assembly sitting on my tuners work bench. Apparently, those floats don't last forever...Gary

I know. I just forget that other people possibly don't know.
Nice G, are you going to lower it a little? Or anything?

Mine did the same when I first got it, but it went away a few full tank fill ups
