this sounds alot like a Short ram intake type of sound. when did this start?I am getting the feeling this guy is a joker.

 

"valves click clacking" will probably be diagnosed by the dealers as "injector noise" about 80% of the time and dismissed. I went through the same thing with my Z, I thought the valves were about to fall out of the car at < 10K miles, but was reassured that it's injectors firing and the car always ran fine.

 

Do you have the K&N cone filter? I have a JWT cone pop charger and I hear that sound. If I sit in one place and listen closely I can hear an air pressure sound right before I step on the gas as well.

 

OK, so let me get this straight...

1. You've made modifications to the intake and exhaust on your car.
2. You're hearing a sucking or blowing sound.
3. You haven't looked to see if the modifications you've made could be causing the noise; so
4. You are going to sell the car.

 

Bwaahaaaha....that's the way to lay it out.

 

I mean c'mon, three pages of wasted space.

Hey sweet...just realized my 1000th post was a burn!

I'd like to thank Jesus, and Buddha....um, my second grade teacher...my manager...my wife, "I LOVE YOU BABY! WE DID IT!"

 

"Yo Adrian!" or something like that huh?

 

come to find out that my belt that drives the compressor is half gone, chewed up. now i need to find out how long i can drive it like this. so thanks for your wasted post 350Zenphile i mean common were not all smart savvy car guys like you. i just needed help here and if the car is going to give me nothing but problems then i want to somehow half way fix it so i can get a new Z and start fresh, but i do know what I'm doing i have did all my mods myself and know what an intake and an exhaust leak and so on sound like but i never herd this sound before. now knowing that it is minor(i hope) now i can go from here.

 

props for former prelude owner =]

I'll be selling my 00 and upgrading to an 07 Z in summer 07 woo woo

 

I am new to the forum and owning a Z. I bought my first 350Z an '04 with 7000K just over a week ago. The only mod done to the car was the air intake with a K&N cone. I was hearing the exact same noise right after WOT. Sounds like a BOV. Does not impact driving or performance at all - it is just that, and odd noise. Nothing to worry about, anyhoo just this noob's $0.02.

 

My Z does this TSHH sound too between shifts at 3k rpm and I'll all stock, even down to the air filter. Strange.
