One week later I get my car and they now claim all 370z's make this noise and that it's normal and that to drive the car at this rpm will damage the engine and transmission. I think that is completely wrong and before I drive 60 miles to find a dealership with a 370z with a manual transmission i want your opinion. It only occurs at 5000 rpm and above and if you move the stick I diminishes. It comes and goes but they won't fix it. My only option I see is going to another dealership and making them test drive both cars to prove that it is abnormal. Does your Nismo make this noise? Also with my paint peeling from the Nismo body kit anybody else have this issue besides the few on here that i know about. Thanks for your help.

Well, 1 day prior to being hit by a deer, i was glazing my car and noticed a small peeling paint spot at the rear left fender joint where the rear spoiler/"diffuser" connects to the fender panel (directly above the wheel). Looks almost like it either wasn't coated thoroughly or it has been rubbing. Car is ~3 months old. I was actually going to swing by the dealership on the 5th (since their service dept would have been closed on the 4th). Mother nature had other plans for me though...
Plan on getting it addressed after it gets back from the body shop. I'd have the shop deal with it but it's on the opposite side of the car from the deer strike.
As for the motor, it doesn't sound abnormal/too rough that I've noticed and I owned another 370z prior to the NISMO car.
