Anyone else have a whining noise with their Z? Is this normal on the 09's

Sounds like the ECU whine problem. There should be a sticky in the warranty recall section.

Looking for it myself. It was a problem early on the builds.

Here are a few links about it

Had FIXED HIGH PITCH NOISE (ECU)

does that start when you start the car (ECU high pitched noise), or while you are in 1 or 2nd or reverse gears (normal)?

i notice it mostly in 1st and 2nd gear. not at all when starting

kenchan · 09-24-2013, 04:59 PM

gear whine then probably. it's considered normal.

Thats good news then. Also though when im just idling and i let the clutch out and it makes noise and as soon as i push it in its silent. is that normal?

yep, that's normal as well. as long as it's not marking a loud howling noise or constant squeaking, it's normal.

if you hear any of that, then your throw-out bearing is probably shot.
