DiggZ Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Bit of an unusual one this.... In the past couple of weeks Ive noticed a rattling/vibration noise which seems to be coming from the engine bay or undercarriage, difficult to tell exactly where its originating from as the car is in motion. On lower revs and normal driving the car is fine, the noise only happens when I accelerate hard and take the Z up through the rev range, at which point this whirring, vibrating noise has started to appear. Hard to describe, sounds like a piece of loose trim or casing, possibly something rotating or flapping and vibrating. Cant see anything visual on inspection of the car. Any thoughts?

Maccaman Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 When I saw the title I was going to say "is it the missus" Could be a number of things & I'm sure somebody with more knowledge will try to offer advice shortly. Quote
MSportUK Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Got a similar noise. Sounds like it's coming from behind the dash, like a loose heat shield or something. Only when accelerating hard, and more noticeable on cold days. Nissan in Worcester have had a look, but said everything was secure. Would like to get it up on a ramp and have a rummage around myself.

DiggZ Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Yeah it sounds like the same thing, when I think about it Ive only noticed it on cold days too so you might be onto something there Quote
RobbieB Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 When you turn your engine off, does the rattle slow down and stop at the same speed as the engine does? Because you are describing the same thing I have and it is doing my head in! Naturally I assume the worst... Quote
