Whatever... have a great day!

Troll, as defined by Urban Dictionary:

Quote:

A person who posts to a forum or other form of online communication to disrupt or cause widespread argument.

I guess you're new to the internet. It's OK.

BTW...

If you didn't say anything derogatory, why did you assume that my post was directed at you... I never mentioned your name....

Simple deduction mixed with assumption.

Earlier this week I got a call from a local dealer about a Z exactly like i was looking for, but used with 2k miles. I decided to check it out and guess what? It has the ecu problem. I didn't notice it at first since it's non-existant to quiet when the car is first turned on, but after about 2 minutes it's noticable. It actually bothered my ears and after the test drive my ears had the feeling you get after being exposed to loud noises. I thought some of the people on the board were exagerating, but I now I understand what they were talking about.

Neither salesperson I was with could hear it and I'm actually surprised I could since my younger days were filled with with excessive loud noises.

I would've bought the car if I knew that a fix was coming out, but we don't know that. We just know Nissan is aware of the issue and is working on it.

I forgot to add that I sat in another Z on the lot and it didn't make the noise. The only difference between the two was the nav system.

So did anybody else hear about this TSB? I have the exact same high pitched noise problem, but last time I visited my dealer, they didn't know about any TSB yet. The tech did hear and confirm the noise though. It is starting to drive me nuts. It's exactly as described before, turn my head to the left and I hear it.

Solution: add CBE to your HFCs. Louder exhaust = less high pitched noise noticed.

But then there's the "hissing" problem - if it's not one thing it's another...

True, I hear it less now that I have the HFC's, but it's still there. And I think that HFC+CBE= too loud for me...

True as well, but at least the hiss is not constantly there.

I didnt hear the noise at first when i bought my car but now the noise is very noticeable. it is starting to become unbareable. if i drive without the radio on i can still hear it. I'm going to the dealership today to check out a lot of things and ill tell you guys what they say about the problem.

I take it we are still waiting for the bulletin to be verified? What happened to the OP?

CBRich · 11-05-2009, 06:22 AM

I hope you don't choose a different car simply because of a high pitched whine.
