THE LED IN MY GTR CLUSTER ARE NO LONGER WORKING, THEY ARE DEFECTIVE AND ARE NOT REPLACEABLE = NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE CLUSTER DRIVING AT NIGHT TIME CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. SAFETY IS EVERYTHING, NISSAN NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY BEHIND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE CLUSTER WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE REPAIR SHOULD BE SIMPLE AND REPAIRABLE BUT IN THIS CASE IT IS NOT.

FUEL LEAKS OUT OF THE EVAP CANISTER AND ONTO REAR PASSENGER WHEEL FENDER LINER UNDER HEAVY DRIVING AND CORNERING. THIS LEAKAGE IS ALSO THE SOURCE OF VERY STRONG FUEL FUMES INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE CAR. THE EVAP CANISTER IS LOCATED ~6" UPWIND OF THE EXHAUST AND HAS BEEN SEEN TO BE THE SOURCE OF FIRES! I ATTACH PHOTOS OF FUEL STAINING AROUND THE EVAP CANISTER ON MY CAR. I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN 2 NISSAN GT-RS CATCH FIRE DUE TO THIS SITUATION, & HAVE PHOTOS (NOT ATTACHED).

THE LIGHTS GO OUT FOR THE GAUGE CLUSTER ROUTINELY GO OUT RENDERING DRIVERS UNABLE TO READ THE GAUGES AT NIGHT INCLUDING THE FUEL GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER. I NOTICED IT WHEN I STARTED MY CAR WHILE IN A DARK LOCATION AND WAS UNABLE TO SEE MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE, FUEL GAUGE, AND GEAR INDICATED GAUGE ALONG WITH PART OF MY TACHOMETER. MANY OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A RELATED TO ANYTHING CAUSED BY THE OWNER. NISSAN'S SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE CLUSTER WITH THE SAME CLUSTER THAT STILL HAS THE FAULTY DESIGN AND THE LIGHTS STILL GO OUT.
