:p

Totally random question but does anyone else have a high pitched buzz while driving? I noticed it on the cruise this weekend and now I can't ignore it.

Just my exhaust. :p

I'll have a listen on my drive home and see.

Maybe it's that ECU whine people have been talking about? Or a speaker is blown (or close to)?

cali is a nice place to be. :tup: if i did not have kids, i would still live in socal. :tup: i hope to retire there some day.

in need to find j-retirement home so i dont have to eat mac&cheeze and airline-like food every f-king day. :icon17:

does that sound like a crt (old tube tv)? if so, you might have the high pitched whine from the ECU.

Yeah, I believe that's it. :shakes head:

hey did you get that exhaust tip lined up? :)

yah, it's a known issue.... but no real fix for it unless you can get the dealer to replace it. :ugh2:

see if you can hear the whine in the passenger seat. i think it's position sensitive. if so, you might be able to angle the ecu in a way you can't hear it from the driver's seat. or try your GTMatt magic? :icon17:

Yes, you can hear it from both seats. I drove and was a passenger this weekend. I'll see what I can think of for a fix. :tiphat:

Cali is a nice place to visit. I wouldn't want to live there. But I'm way far away (30mi) from downtown Phoenix, where I work. I hate it. :mad:

Not yet. I haven't had much time. I may try today, if not I'll have to leave it to the weekend.

ahh, thanks for the info. that sucks you cant just turn the darn thing...humm...

if you have an app that can measure frequency on your phone you might be able to capture which frequencity that whine is. if not, use a tuner app and see if you can match the pitch. then go up an octave or two and find the frequency.

do you know what bandwidth your mats can contain sound? im not sure if it goes up that high... :confused:


is your 30min commute like through a pretty rural area? my commute is like 25min but round trip is less than 25miles. :)

GL adjusting the hanger height. should be an easy fix. :tup:

Nope, it's all boring freeway. 30 miles takes about 35min. Boring drive, looking at taillights. :thumbsdown:

oh here comes the dumbarse landscapers to rape my fit. :mad:

oh i see.. :(

i can see why you'd want to get a dd for that. how about the new accord sedan? :icon17: :p

:eekdance:

wtf, we gotta pedo-landscaper. he's peeking through the office glass... :ugh2:

my fit's dirty anyway. :icon17:

my G and Z are home so it's okay. :p

which reminds me... those f-kers better not be doing my lawn at home over the weekend. :mad:

I keep the cars in the garage when the landscapers come because otherwise: :shakes head:

I couldn't really afford another car payment (or constant repairs on a used one). :(

I'm thinking of renting my house out and getting a condo downtown, as they give us free lightrail & bus passes... so I could do that, or if I'm close enough I could walk/ride a bike.

yah, that's a good idea.

i want to do the oil change and swaybar swap this weekend if weather is nice. :D

I need to do mine too. Though the Nov oil looks clean, it did sit for about 5 months.

Why not getting the end-link too and do everything in one-shot?

I can feel you are skeptical about the OEM endlink on the aftermarket sway... :icon17:

hummm... i would probably use that until Fall. :icon17: i only do one oil change per year in the Spring time. :)


do you think I need the aftermarket endlinks? :confused: i thought people were so far 'okay' with it not breaking apart? :confused:

on my G, the rear oem one broke (rattled) after about 3k miles, but then
i bought some oem reinforced ones and they've been problem free. i have
spare aftermarket endlinks just in case, but have not had to swap them
yet after near 28k miles. :p my 9yr old G has 31500miles.

so i 'might' be okay? :confused:

wish nissan would force new Z owners to take an IQ test before purchase.

Yeah I was thinking of maybe switching to a 1 oil change per year schedule but all of the oil is already bought :icon17: .

I would not have a Z then. :(

:tup: i can feel the itch to do it then. :icon17:

:icon18:

maybe a coolness test prior to purchase then? :tup:

Then they'd have to pay me to take the Z, since I'd rank in the top .001%. :eek:

:icon23:

:icon17: I'm not that smart.

okay, never mind the IQ test...

See, I told you! :shakes head:














So, Mr. Scoops Everywhere guy posted pics of his car. Not as bad as I was thinking.

I'll check in with you peeps later tonight, I'm off soon and heading to clean up the Z. Poor girl is dirty.

You think so?

I think it's horrid, tbh. But to each his own I guess. :ugh2:

Nothing on that car's exterior would ever be seen on mine.

I was expecting cooltoy's Photoshop version. Lol

:icon18: :tup::hello: mr. Kenchan!
Funny!

:confused: my dealership has been great. So far. It will only take one time though and pffft. Done. :tup: right now I'm loving the drive and the 50 or 60$$$ savings :tup::happydance::driving:

:eek: :icon14: :tup: :bowrofl: funny!!! You guys!

:tup:i know! Cool huh?! And its forever. They have no idea that this car will DIE before i sell it:tup:

:icon18: maybe he hacked your camera?! Doo doo doo doo ;)
