Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Bulletin just posted - ecu noise replacement

Earlier this week I got a call from a local dealer about a Z exactly like i was looking for, but used with 2k miles. I decided to check it out and guess what? It has the ecu problem. I didn't notice it at first since it's non-existant to quiet when the car is first turned on, but after about 2 minutes it's noticable. It actually bothered my ears and after the test drive my ears had the feeling you get after being exposed to loud noises. I thought some of the people on the board were exagerating, but I now I understand what they were talking about.

Neither salesperson I was with could hear it and I'm actually surprised I could since my younger days were filled with with excessive loud noises.

I would've bought the car if I knew that a fix was coming out, but we don't know that. We just know Nissan is aware of the issue and is working on it.

I forgot to add that I sat in another Z on the lot and it didn't make the noise. The only difference between the two was the nav system.
