that's a problem... right?

It is addictive. I drive it so much that mileage has gotten so high. A little over 27k and bought it new in May 2012. That's a problem. I'm calling my company's Employee Assistance Program to get some counseling.

-Transmission has weak synchro's.
---Don't skip gears.

-Some drivers find that the car does actually overheat on their daily commute. How they actually drive is anyone's guess, but on the street I can't imagine being able to drive any of the cars I have owned to the point of overheating if everything was in working order.
----Get a cooler with a thermostat. Too cool is just as bad and maybe worse than too hot.

-Early models had a whining sound come from the PCM.
----Swap it out.

-Some 2009's used oil.
----Fixed via Nissan.

-The paint is 3mm thick. This is some of the thinnest in the industry. It allows for truly awesome "depth" of color.
----A clear-bra is mandatory.

-Some people complain about "cabin noise". I have driven 370's and don't think it's an issue.
----If you must, there are many products on the market like "Blockit", and others.

Can someone elaborate on the noises posted above? I think i may have one of these issue on my 2011.

I have just recently noticed a low pitched whining whenever i keep the gas pedal pressed down at lower rpm, it happens at every gear, and its becoming more noticeable now that i have paid attention to it. i plan on taking it to dealer to check out, but I'm doing research to see if others have had any experience with this issue or know what causes it. Thanks guys.

I think this addictive could be called as official problem of the 370z cause it happens to 99.999% of the owners....

Hauling lumber home from Home Depot for my new fence is difficult and it takes 23 trips.

I was researching, which is how I ended up in this thread Nismo#91. I've used the search function for engine noise which yielded nothing relating to the issue which prompted my post looking for answer.

If you don't want to help, PLEASE
