phelan · 11-01-2009, 08:04 PM

I'm going to be somewhat annoyed if this was a troll thread though...sigh

texmedic · 11-01-2009, 08:13 PM

I swear i'm not hijacking the thread but A, I have the noise and B, what ever came of that Tire pressure sensor nut TSB, I went to my dealer and they havent heard anything. Am I destined to be show at the dealer with phantom TSBs guy?

If the OP is lying... he is banned from all future mid-atlantic meets!

LOL!!! I was thinking the same thing

My dealer called me to tell me the new ECU will arrive on Nov 13th. It is the capacitor in the ECU that had to be reworked. The noise is such a pain in the a$$. It can't be healthy to hear this frequency each time you drive.

Glad people are realizing this problem and don't think i'm a fake. I'm a real inifiniti/ nissan enthusiast. I just put in generation 3 stillens by myself and the 370z sounds great. Lots more power. If anyone knows of a plenum spacer for the 370z or some other mods to make to get me more power..i'm all ears.

Don't speak for "everyone" - I don't believe you, and I think a number of other people likely do not as well.

You're being a little rough on the guy, he's just reporting his experience. If you are that cynical please call his dealer and report the conversation here.

A capacitor makes sense since they can be used to filter frequencies. Hopefully the fix really is that easy!

lemansz20 · 11-02-2009, 11:15 AM

I cant believe some of you, the guy is posting his experience, stop being little girls. If you dont believe him, he posted the name of the dealer so call yourself and stop being so ridiculous.

I dont have the Z yet, but have heard this noise in a friends. Glad their is something to fix it, the capacitor does make alot of sense, agreed with jungleb.

phelan · 11-02-2009, 11:38 AM

It seems like it's only his dealership that is understanding and willing to help.

I've called three in SoCal, and they are clueless.

But theoretically, the capacitor is the right call to make...so there's hope yet!

fuct · 11-02-2009, 12:24 PM

ease up on the guy fellas! damn!

billydsz · 11-02-2009, 01:53 PM

Hey I am having this exact problem. Not sure why some of you are being hard on the guy. The ECU is the problem, and a capacitor will make the kind of noise I am hearing. So if he is a troll, he's a well educated one.

Pointman · 11-02-2009, 02:12 PM

My car makes the noise as well and it is very annoying. Sitting at idle, warm exhuast, and no radio, I can clearly hear it. You really noitce it when you turn your head

. Just a guess, the ecu must be under the passenger side glove box area. That is where I hear the sound eminating from. I do not hear well to begin with, due to my line of work, but even I can hear it. If your car were to make this noise I feel you would also hear it with out a problem. If you do not hear it no worries for you. Hope the OP is not a troll.

natenyc123 · 11-02-2009, 03:53 PM

Ok....obviously there is a problem that everyone is experiencing..or nearly everyone is experiencing. We all know how difficult dealers are and how they care and some don't care. The part will be available soon enough so in a few weeks you all will be cleared of me thinking I was up to this "trolling" thing..or whatever that means..lol

Same here, but I've only had mine a lil over week. But I've listened for this noise and I still haven't heard it.
