Yeah it is but at the same time not surprised, Nissan probably wants to keep it on the DL, I guess they initially thought it was only a small percentage of vehicles that had this problem but their wrong lol. Hopefully a TSB will be out in 2 to 4 weeks.

It has also cost them sales. I was dead set on getting one until I took a test drive, heard the sound and found out Nissan wasn't acknowledging the problem. It also made me wonder what other problems they conveniently ignore.

For me it was one of the things that made letting go of the Z easier.

I agree....and now that it's gone there are a few things I'm finding that I don't miss about the Z (even though I would have never admitted it while owning it...lol..) i.e. lugging myself down into and up out of the damn thing. LOL! Every time I got in or out of the car, I would silently mutter to myself, 'I'm too old for this S$#%". Once in..ALL worth it. But now..sliding into my GL..heaven.

So that is helping make it easier to say goodbye

To keep on topic-- at least it sounds like whoever gets my car will maybe have an easy time getting the ECU fixed!

i have the sound in my 2010 nismo... yes it grates on my nerves, but would i trade it in because of it?????? no way!

So have the ECU replaced for free under warranty????

Paskii · 09-21-2010, 05:14 PM

Well just got back from Nissan and I got some relatively good news, Nissan said there will be an ECU or ECM update in 2 to 4 weeks. They are aware of this problem and has been working on a remedy for it for awhile. I think the fix is legit as Nissan wants to launch the fix rather than replace the ECU for me, which sucks because I have to wait. Well at least their going to address this issue now, they said it's very likely a TSB would be released as well.

^^^ my dealership has already ordered a new ecu for me and im waiting on it so they can swap it out.

I'm starting to find that US dealerships have better customer service than Canada. Maybe I should make a trip down lol

Oh no I would think that its worse here. Its taken me multiple tries, with multiple dealerships for someone to finally acknowledge it.. it was a horrible experience

zrider · 09-27-2010, 06:57 PM

dealership took my car today, and is going to replace the ecu. Got a rent a car, an altima and man i must say its a really smooth and great car haha, just wanted to share. But will update when i get it back tomorrow.
