MCook Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I noticed the other day, when stood behind the car as it was idling. It is barely noticeable though I could hear it clearly where as my friend could not hear anything at all.. almost sound like puffs of air..?!!? not sure! Quote
Rocky4510 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I've just noticed I get the same thing. Then I noticed my revs very slightly go up and down on idle. I think this started when I fitted my induction kit, I'm just gunna spray the throttle body with CRC cleaner and hope for the best! Sent from Tapatalk Quote
WhackyWill Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 The revs will slightly fluctuate if you don't run the A/C permanently on my DE. Could be that. 1 Quote
MCook Posted July 9, 2014 Author Posted July 9, 2014 I could put up a video to try and capture the noise I am on about, also gives me an excuse to show off my beautiful exhaust note.. Quote
rjohnson1993 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 i have this with an aftermarket exhaust and induction kit fitted, the CEL has also come on for me Quote
MCook Posted July 9, 2014 Author Posted July 9, 2014 Just shot a quick video, I also noticed you can actually feel each pop when sat in the drivers seat, felt the car shake underneath me! Quote
Rock_Steady Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Mine does too but only after a run when it's hot. I imagine it's something to do with HT leads or the rotor arm perhaps. Definitely something to do with firing. Quote
LiamR Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 mine also does this and has now since i bought it 3 years ago, hopefully nothing to be concerned about..... Quote
big si 1976 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I also noticed this as over paranoid when I buy cars I felt it is worse when the a/c is not on in the car!. I think its is just a 350z"normal thing". as a few people have the same thing I don't think it is too much to worry about. 1 Quote
GT Driver Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Mine also does this too! Thought it was misfiring at first but from some searching online it does not appear to be something to be majorly concerned about. Edited July 9, 2014 by GT Driver Quote
JEMAN Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Mine pops to......sitting in traffic and every now and then I hear a small pop, also when the car is in gear but rolling down hill I get a few pops.......sounds great. I think it's to do with the Exhaust and pop charger (no pun intended) Quote
Tricky-Ricky Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I played around with the breathing system in an effort to cure this, but all i succeeded in doing was reducing it slightly. Quote
