RichCox350Z

So after many tedious hours hunting for the elusive sound, removing various panels and packing them with 2mm 3M foam stripping, refitting etc. I managed to find one possible culprit. 2 very annoying plastic retaining washers on the AC pipes going through the bulhead were loose. They would not re-locate so I cut the little f******* off!! Since putting it all together it still makes the vibration when engine is cold, after normal operating temp has been reached it then subsides. Leading me to think it's something metal which is expanding when hot and then obviously not making any sound. I'm heading over to a mates garage this weekend to get the car in the air so I can check all heat shields etc.

Didn't catch any of the reg but spotted a kitted out Black 370Z in a layby whilst travelling from Cheddar Gorge back toward Shepton Mallet on Bank Holiday May 6th. If I remember, it was parked with a Civic?

Hi NeeZ, Worth a check IMO. I've found a post on a US forum which involvesd cleaning out the entire front scuttle panel where it joins the windscreen. I'm going to try this by removing all the plastic trims surrounding the battery & brake fluid caps, blow it all out with an air line and then pack it with some 3M tape. I'll see what happens!

Hi Wheels, Thanks for the info, I’m not suffering any noise from the boot/mid area. I see it’s a common complaint from the google search results on a lot of US forums. But mine is definitely front end/dash area.

No thats a completely different noise, more of a whine..

I'll attempt it this evening.

Hi Bry, Checked the rear view this morning on way to work. Definitley not that playing up.

Evening all, I’m really hoping someone can help me hear as I’m pulling my hair out trying to stop an annoying rattle coming from.. somewhere. Symptoms: - annoying rattle when revving at around 1K and 3K. - also happens when in a higher gear such as 2nd or 3rd and accelerating at low revs. - When above 40mph ish, it tends to disappear. - sometimes disappears when engine up to temperature. - coming from middle of car around the bulkhead / behind dash area. Already checked: - battery and brake fluid covers. - plastic trim that ^^ covers clip into - number plate brackets - boot lid - gearstick cover/gaiter - glovebox - door cards - cone filter heat shields I haven't checked the exhaust heat shields yet as it sounds more plastic to me, but more than willing to try if anyone had this issue and figured it to be a heat shield. The car is brand new and I only took delivery of it in February, I’ve been googling for hours and have found some US based posts and videos of owners solving rattles, but none of them are describing or showing the same issue I’m having. I’m well within warranty with Nissan but would prefer to solve the issue myself as I happen to know most the technicians from my local Nissan as I work in a Local Motor Factor and really don’t trust them to work on my car? Many help would be gladly appreciated! Or I will have to painstakingly strip the dash out lol! Thanks in advance! Rich

Hi Adrian, Thanks for that info! Most helpful indeed. Look like a lot of faffing about to me! Think I might leave it for now, and moan at my Nissan dealer for not outting them on in factory lol!

Hi RDON, is the last one still available for purchase? Here's my engine bay:

Afternoon all! Can anyone point me in the right direction for a set of hydraulic/gas bonnet dampers for my 19' plate 370 Nismo? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. (Obviosuly google is a given!)

Welcome! Nice to see another South West Member, I'm the other side of Bath.

Hello fellow forum members, I'm glad to say that I am finally back in a Zed after getting rid of my DE 350Z 2 years ago, and having to buy something more suitable (15 plate Juke Nismo RS 214BHP) Been a little wait as Nissan had to build my new car in Japan and ship it over, but here she is: MY19 370Z Nismo 68' Plate. Looking forward to being a part of this community again, the Juke forum was proper rubbish, really unhelpful!

Welcome along! Are you based in Melksham by any chance, I seen a Black 350 driving through the other day?
