In the video I posted, I wish I could simulate the vibration along with it. Re-queue up my video and pretend you are having a seisure while watching it.....(i kid, i kid)
:roflpuke2: Edit: Just wanted to re-point out that I absolutely love the car and would not trade it in for anything :) |
Yeah, I don't feel any vibration from the throttle. Not sure about the clutch pedal. Why would you have your foot on the clutch pedal while accelerating to redline? Or am I misunderstanding something? Either way, I don't feel any vibration from the clutch pedal either. I sometimes feel a slight 'grinding' feeling from it when I'm stopped at a light if I don't have the clutch pedal in all the way down to the floor, but that's about it. You know, I'm beginning to wonder if there are some variances between different cars. Too bad we don't live close to each other. We could compare our cars.

I've always liked the VQ37 sound. It has a lower engine note that is in harmony with the higher note. The VQ35 lower engine note wasn't as apparent, and I never really liked the droning sound. So I've never been peeved by any harshness... thought it would be normal.

Although I have only test driven the car, I am also confused by this "harshness" or terrible sound from inside the car.
I rode in a manual 370z for my first test drive... the dealer didn't want anyone without cash in hand to drive the car for some reason... and the sales person went full out with me in the car. I heard nothing that seemed odd, terrible, or unenjoyable as some reviews have stated. The car sounds amazing inside, like my 350z did. My second test drive was in an AT 370z, since they didn't have a manual at the time. This time I got to drive it, and I brought that baby up to redline through the first 3 gears. Again not only did I not notice any harsh vibrations but the car sounded great. I hope to purchase a Base Sport soon so I can add more details when that time comes. |
I did not hear any harshness at all.... Sounds like a sports car; I LOVE that sound. To be honest, my RX8 sounds the same (except it is the rotary sound of course). The Z does not sound harsh at all....

When comparing the Genesis 3.8L V6, the VQ definitely got rough on the edges.
As for harshness? That thought totally slipped my mind after getting my HFC and exhaust installed. ;) |

My motor, has 3500 miles on it, i broke it in properly, oil changed at 1200 miles to nissan ester.
Second gear reving too 7k rpms, I dont remember feeling any thing in the clutch. Engine sounded like a beast(i thought we wanted this). Can feel more vibration in the shifter than normal. When driving in 6 gear, 60mph, 2.4krpms. I can feel vibration in the clutch too, the only difference is at 7krpm its double. Is it really the engine, or is it the drive train or clutch? (i ask becuase i am not a expert) Also it doesnt "bother" me at all since this is my first manual i assume this is all normal so i am unaffected as others are. some people complain that the steering wheel doesnt feel the road? i never understood this and still dont, but the Z's shifter lets you feel the engine, is that so bad? |
