Noise Reduction in the Z34 370Z car is now a primary focus for Nissan engineers. Due to rising complaints from internet-based communities such as the370z.com, Nissan engineers have put research and development of oil coolers and brake ducts on hold. They are focusing energy and resources on developing sound deadening technologies that they claim will make the cabin of the brand's aggressive two-seater sports car as quiet as the back seat of The Queen of England's Bentley limousine. Inside sources say that Nissan is partnering with acclaimed audio components manufacturer, Bose, to incorporate their patented noise-canceling technology into the Z car's on-board entertainment system. Also working on the project is Dynamic Control, the developer of Dynamat, the visco-elastic film that promotes vibro-acoustic energy conversion.
Other technologies in development include Nissan logo earplugs, discounts on Nissan's luxury-oriented Infinity G37 and cheese to go with that whine.

:bowrofl:

What's most funny (and sad) is the thought that NISSAN would even bother to research oil coolers and brake ducts. :p

:bowrofl:

great so now thanks to people who bitch.. we are not gonna have a good handling(breaking ) car anymore but instead a quiet car wtf pple.. its a sport car not a rolls royce thanks for killing the Z's amazingness .... :facepalm:

HA! Had me for a sec.

Nvrmd

proj, re-read the last line of the article. :bowrofl:

I thought the same thing too. :roflpuke2:

:roflpuke2:

if it is fake people do wine to much about how loud it is inside

Its not going to be funny if someone explains it to you

someone put way to much thought into typeing that lol

Dynamic Control

He's my hero. He is the DC in VDC.

:rofl2:

party poop.

:bowrofl:

Hahaha!

Thank you!
I'll be here all week.

:tiphat:

:inoutroflpuke:

I raffed

bahahahaha, great post :roflpuke2:

Alright! Free cheese :tup:

damn, i thought nissan/renault was busy tracking down the chinese theif who stole their electric vehicle technology. lol

:tup: Thanks for a good laugh!

great... slap another couple hundred pounds on the Z's thunder thighs.... oh boy.... give me the oil cooler any day.

We are going to get to keep the great breaking car we bought since they won't be fixing the brake ventilation or oil overheating issues! :D

BTW, you do realize you have just as good a handling vehicle as you bought, right? Nothing Nissan does in the future will improve your car's handling.

After several meetings with the Bose audio engineers, Nissan engineers have decided that in order to bring the noise level down, they have decided to go all electric on their next 400Z generation which will be out in late 2012, which means the 370Z will be the last model that runs on fuel.

Ha!

LunaZ: first, you have too much time on your hands. Those reading your post in Japan will laugh at the laziness of Americans as they drive their Leaf's around their fancy island.

Second, you have given others the impression that people from Pennsylvania have a sense of humor. As you know, the effing cold winters freeze our funny bones solid, leaving only seriousness and enjoyment of Amish outfits.

Finally, one should not joke about matters involving oil coolers. Just this morning when it was -5 my oil temps soared to almost 100 degrees, forcing me to pull over as I knew the dreaded limp mode was just a few hundred degrees away. As I tried to listen to the Bose cranked to MAX I dreamed some talanted upstart at Nissan would read our posts and send us oil coolers. Now we have only whine coolers.




OK, seriously, that was some funny doody! :icon17::roflpuke2::bowrofl::tiphat:

Please sticky under following title "FUTURE Z OWNERS:READ THIS"

i can't believe i read the whole thing! but if your are serious bose canceling
headphones work while flying. buy some for the 370 best 200.00 you'll spend.

Another Cabin Noise Thread? ................FML LoL :P

HA! that was great, had me going too for a bit. Nicely done OP. :tup:

I was like WTF...good one!

First thought: "Whoa, they mentioned the370z.com"
Second thought: "Oh it's some feature that will probably only be for future models"
Third thought: "Or maybe those with Bose can upgrade for a fee"
Fourth thought: "Heh, the last paragraph was added on by the OP"
Fifth thought: "Oh, the whole thing is fake."
Sixth thought: "Duh."
Final thought: "Holy crap noise canceling from the radio is a good idea!!!!!!!!"

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

holy ****, that almost exactly how it went down for me! :icon18:

It's about time Nissan did something about this. I expected my lightweight two seater sports car to be absolutely silent. Not to mention the doors should thunk like a Miata's.

Well, I just ordered my Z 2 weeks ago and hope that they implement the noise reduction change while building my Z. That would save me the time, effort and $ from doing it myself. SWEET!

go ahead and re-read that paragraph.
