robbie1985rca Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Hi Guys, Just wanted to stop by and say a quick hi to all! After 3 years of living in Dublin (car limbo) I am moving back to the UK and in the end decided to get the 350z I have wanted for ages. At the moment the car is based in the Stansted area, but when my move comes through I will be down Bournemouth way permanently Below are some pics of the new car! On a more technical note, when I hit the accelerator from about 3-4k revs I hear this whining noise (until the roar of the engine drowns it out) I think it is most noticeable cruising in 6th gear, if I get the engine above 3k the whine kicks in. Now the car is still well within warrenty, but i wanted to check with you guys first to see if it is defo something that needs checking out Anyway, thanks lads Rob Quote
martinmac Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Hi and welcome from Forwentways Travelodge. ( temporary. ). Marshals in Cambridge are very good with these cars or there are plenty of members in your area that can have a listen. Quote
mbs Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Hello & nice car worth having it checked out if it's still under warranty Quote
robbie1985rca Posted July 20, 2010 Author Posted July 20, 2010 Hi Guys, thanks for the quick replies. I asked about the whine because I only picked it up 2 weeks ago from a main dealer after it undergoing an "81 pont check" and being still based in Dublin I've only had a few chances to drive it!

martinmac Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 We have a few members in Dublin too, stick Dublin into the search engine. Quote

robbie1985rca Posted August 13, 2010 Author Posted August 13, 2010 Quick update on the status of the "noise" coming from my car my mums husband was kind enough to take my car to the dealers and take the master technician for a drive. After which they acknowledged that there was a noise that was audible in most of the gears and they took the car in. They ran some diagnostics tests and decided it was my diff making the noise and have ordered the new part which should be in on the 18th. My question is, would the diff be making this whine noise and if it is should the diff be damaged on a 58 plate with a little over 7k on the clock? The dealer i got it from is part of a nissan chain and it was bought from and part ex'd back to the same chain. Quote
