Its like a howl. I found this on youtube. He has the exact same problem.

YES. 2017 NIsmo. I had this happen last year. EXACT same symptoms. 2 days resting and cold start, a whining noise. Would go away once clutch was pressed. Would not occur on DD and warm days. Comes back like clockwork after 48 hours and cold start or cold days.

I was under warranty, so they changed the CSC /release bearing and Pilot bushing.

Seemed to have fixed it.

Advance to 2019 and few weeks ago. Noise has come back!

While they did the CSC, I had them replace the tranny fluid. They told me it was a little dark, but ok. No metal.

No shifting issues or clutch issues however.

I'm guessing something that gets lubricated has it's oil running out after sitting for 24-48 hours. Just a guess.

I have a dozen phone videos, I have to see how I can post them up here.
