I have like a pss pss pss pss noise that I can hear when I'm driving slow. The sound is proportion to the tire rotation or the speed, in which incrementally speeds up as I go faster. Kinda sound like a sprinkler or sum'n. Any ideas? It's driving me NUTZ.

 

come on guys what should i do next

 

i was thinking the crawford plenum or pulleys what do you guys recommend

 

It might be your wheel bearings. Have your mechanic check that out.

 

dude, wtf happened here? did my thread get merged?

 

haha i think so... how?? hmm....

 

Could be the JWT Popcharger. That can make the sound your describing. It would be realative to when you are accelerating. If you hear the sound or not. Otherwise... umm, hmmm.... not sure.

 

pss...pss...are you sure it wasn't that cat in your avartar?

 

I'm a Nissan Tech. My guess is the half shaft or the tires. There is a bulletin on the half shafts. What year IS your car?

 

Sounds like you brake dust shields are rubbing on the rotor a little.

 

Mines a 05

very possible.. my break pad went out and recently got it fixed, along with shaving the rotors

 

Pull the front wheels off and spin the rotors manually. Listen if they rub on the shield. I've inadventantly bent the shields before, while installing pads. It happens.

 

maybe u forgot to take out the label stuck on ur tires...??

 

Is there a pss pss pss pss service bulletin?

 

check for a rock in ur tread lol

 

"Do a search"

 

Man I got the same problem. It's so friggin annoyng. When I got the Z one week later I had to service the brakes. The tech put in new pads and said that he had to cut the rotors!? Maybe that has something to do with it.

 

I think this guy is just randomly posting in threads. he posted his intial question in the recall sticky.

anyhow, so you don't hear the sound when your just idling? I get a similar noise, but I'm sure mine is an exhaust leak.

 

Did you do any hard braking and keep the brake depressed after for a while? you can warp the rotor if you strain the rotor too much and leave the pads heated and touching the rotor for a long time.

 

You are hearing the normal hiss of your car as it's running..but since you are probably driving by a curb on the driver's side or a fense or wall.. you hear it much better as it echos back to you. It's your spokes on your rims that blocks the sound on and off again as the wheel rotates which is also why it's pace speeds up incrementally as you accelerate. Not a prob at all if you ask me. PS: you probably only can hear it at night when it's quiet and you have your windows down right? no biggie.
