Got my 370z!
Hi all,
Just got a 370z 40th anni (used) and I am loving it! (except for the ECU noise...) I'm planning to mod my Z (slightly) but I am pretty much clueless on what to get and where to start. Hope someone in the 604 can teach me a thing or two! Thanks! |

Welcome and congrats. For me a good place to start is wheels and springs/ coilovers. To me this separates you from most. Also gives character. But if you for more of performance side then an intake and exhaust would be a good start. Plus depending on a budget makes a world of difference.

ECU noise? In a 2010 Canadian model? Unheard of! It was only the 2009 model that had the bad ECU's, or so I thought...
Is this an American model?

Congrats! I picked up a used 40th also couple weeks ago
ECU noise? Thats odd, wasn't aware of it. The wheel gap is killing me so springs next and I already ordered an exhaust. YOu got great roads in Vancouver to drive on, jealous

Thanks guys.
It is a Canadian model. I believe it is the ECU noise. There is this very high pitch "electrical" noise whenever I idle the car. It seems like it is coming from the back, like the trunk of the car... I am not too sure what it is. It is been pouring rain in Vancouver for the past few weeks so I haven't really got a chance to take some pictures, but I will post them up asap!

Also, do you guys find it quite hard to upshift smoothly?
Whenever I upshift, say from 1st to 2nd, as soon as I depress the clutch the rpm goes up very slightly, then very SLOWLY drops down. Therefore I will have change gears very slowly as well. I have driven a lot of 6speeds but I never had to change gear this slowly to make it smooth. Any tips? |

Fuel pump? I only hear the noise when it is idling...so idk.
Since this thread is worthless without pics =p , here are some! (taken with my phone) As you can see there is nothing special here as the car is completely stock. |

Congrats! Just look around the forum and people's signatures. That'll give you a good idea of what people have already done. Have fun!
