Does anyone else's Z hum at high speeds?

I noticed mine doing this the other day, a kind of low-pitched but constant hum. I didn't feel any kind of vibration, just something I heard. The pitch didn't seem to change much if at all with my speed like it would if it were the driveshaft or something.

I wonder if this is something with the new NISMO body kit. :confused:

It reminds me of another car I had, where the gap in the collapsible side-view mirrors would have kind of a "kazoo" effect and would make this weird honking noise at like 85 mph. :icon17:

Yup. Seems normal. It hums at high speeds. I get a high pitched electronic whine when blipping the throttle even 100rpm. I even get the random flapping plastic on metal sound when above 6k rpm coming somewhere from the engine area.

Newest issue is the rear brakes/rotors/whatever giving a slight rumble when braking from 50+mph.

Audioengine A5+

I bought the non+ version back in 2007 or 2008 and they're still going strong. Best desktop speakers I've ever used, don't even need a subwoofer

Leingod 10-12-2015 12:04 PM

I was looking at the A2+. i don't have the money right now for your fancy speakers hahaha

that usually means the rotors are warped... need to get them re-done or buy new ones if you don't like the oem ones...

Yea. It's a very light shake. They can probably be re-done. i'll worry about them next year. No point in doing it now. Just means I can get R1 slotted rotors with black hats.

09 used. Bought with extended warranty though with full coverage for 5 years. Think they'll cover it? It's a certified preowned.

I think it depends on the relationship with the dealer and how strapped for cash the dealer is. Rotors are typically wear parts and they may argue the case. However, you won't get if you don't ask. Asking is free, and so might the rotors.

Dealer is a bunch of tools. I called, they won't do a thing. Said it's a normal wear item and I've put on over 3k miles since ownership so it's off there hands. I just told the guy thanks and I really appreciate how cheap it is to change my own oil instead of them charging me $85.

kenchan 10-12-2015 04:05 PM

dat sucks. i'd swap the rotors and pads and get it over with.

ive yet to get any vibration on my Z nor G though..

The 2016 Maxima is uninspired...

Leingod 10-12-2015 05:06 PM

Good news!!! I got my speakers to work again!! I hit the subwoofer that powers everything really really really REALLY hard with a ballpeen hammer and it started working!! It has a hole the size of the sub outlet in the top and I hear a high pitched whining when I play music, but the damn thing works!!

Leingod 10-12-2015 05:07 PM

I'm gonna go hit my broken HDTV in the face with the same hammer to see if it fixes that too!!

Davey 10-12-2015 05:09 PM

It's 5:00 somewhere, and that somewhere is here...

Only an hour ago...


So it' 6:00. :ugh:
