Seabee Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Hey guys I've just recently purchased an 07 350z and I've already encounterd a rather annoying problem... The car is fantastic however whenever I drive at around 60+ mph I get a super annoying rattle, the best way to describe it is like a wire knocking around with the wind blowing it, it's nothing like a deep metallic suspension fault and it only comes at speed, I have looked in most obvious places but am I missing something comman? I've searched the forum but failed to find someone with my problem. To guess it sounds like the rear left quarter of the car. Any help will greatly help a million Quote
bronzee Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Welcome. Pop a hi into the newbies section. Check the tools and spare wheel in the boot to make sure everything is bolted down properly. Quote
Zugara Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Lubricate the boot rubber bungs, open boot, look in the corners, you will see rubber stoppers, put silicone grease on them, do the same on the doors. Quote
Zugara Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Oh, just remembered, Doogyrev had a loose zorst hanger that caused this type of noise, worth getting under da car and check all hangers too. Quote
Zugara Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Simple fix.... Volume up, rattle gone Or better zorst.... Quote
Seabee Posted June 4, 2012 Author Posted June 4, 2012 Thanks for the replies guys! I'm amazed how many I got! Lol I will do as mentioned and hopefully one of those places will be the problem, will let you know how I get on :-) Quote
Luke0549 Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 I had one, then realised it was my passenger seatbelt so plugged it in, sorted. Quote
jinxy Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 If the noise is from inside then it is most likely the plastic around the strut brace making a noise. I had a few creaks/rattles when I first got my 350Z, can't stand them so managed to sort most of them. Quote
Seabee Posted June 5, 2012 Author Posted June 5, 2012 Still yet to get around to looking at it really sorry I've been working all over the jubilee next day off is Friday will let you all know thanks for the ideas though will keep updated and thanks again! Quote
Seabee Posted June 7, 2012 Author Posted June 7, 2012 Ok guys Ive checked the exhaust and it's deffinetly not the problem, I've greased the bungs on the boot, still no joy.... I'll ripped apart all the plastics and put foam between the gaps to isolate any creeking..... Still not solved the problem... It comes at around 60 mph below at slow speeds the car is solid as a rock no squeaks or Nasty noises whatsoever. My old man has a pit I'll probz isolate as Much as I can and hope for best. Also I checked the aerial :-( no joy. Any more ideas let me know lol Quote
Seabee Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 *UPDATE* I feel like a pleb but it really wasn't obvious! It turned out the be the base of the car aerial, I took it out wrapped a bit of foam around it and reinstalled, ALL FIXED! Wooo my car is quiet again! Quote
