1st gear noise

It's normal. The 350 does the same thing. You want noise, upgrade your clutch and flywheel. You'll be wishing you had your stock setup back.

Hey guys just thought I would share is. I have had my 2013 370z for a week now and it does the same thing. I test drove two of them and verified they both made this noise. What I have found is if I stay in 1st longer and let it rev a little higher, then the noise isn't as bad.

I have this same problem. If I am coasting downhill, in first gear, even with the clutch depressed (only in first gear) there is a speed correlated whine. Also, if I am going uphill, and press in the clutch, it makes a nasty thunk as it disengages. Should I have this checked out?
