Edit: nvm, he made an earlier post he was looking at Magnetic Black.

so nissan has 3 MB's now:
Magnetic Black
Midnight Blue
Monterey Blue

Haha yeah it's black. Looked long and hard for a white one optioned the same way but couldnt find one. It's also my first black car and I'm ocd about having a clean car so let's see how I adjust.

Pat do you have a Monterey or Midnight blue? I love the Midnight

Monterey, i love it! Get compliments on it all day, alot of people, even car guys don't know they produced this color.

Monterey was the color I originally wanted to get, but they didn't have one optioned the way I wanted it within 700 miles...

and yes the new midnight blue is

Have fun cleaning you're car, maybe you'll be like me and avoid bad weather at all costs.

Might come down to it. Makes me cringe driving it now with the salty roads. This is the third car that I've said I'm absolutely getting white......and didn't. My daily will probably end up being white......hopefully...

Quick question for you guys. At idle with the clutch out my car makes a whining noise. Push in the clutch and it stops. I took it to Gerald Nissan Naperville last week and they said its normal. Does this happen to your Z?

Isnt that our flywheel spinning, I think everyones z does that and if you get a light flywheel it will get louder .

I don't think it's the flywheel- if it was, wouldn't the noise continue even if the clutch was in? Seems to be the input or pilot bearing? When you slowly let out the clutch you can hear it wind up to the engine speed. I know it's not the throw-out bearing because the symptoms would be the opposite.

It's been awhile since I owned a manual so I can't remember "normal" noises. Z trans seems to be noisy all around too.

The 370z transmission is very noisy, and if you get a light weight fly wheel it will only get more noisy. I think the flywheel is the thing that causes the noise but it's only audible when its connected to the transmission (clutch engaged).

Come to the April 6th or April 14h meet and we can compare.

Sounds good. At least the noise is documented and car has power train warranty until 3/2016.

Can't make the Apr 6th one because I have a wedding to attend but will definitely try to make the Apr 14th
