It is the weather stripping. I was one of the first with an 07. Blue painters tape help me locate the problem. Got to love it. I took it back to the dealership and it was the top weather stripping on the front windsheild.

This reminds me when we glued an empty .22 shell in my buddies grill one day. We work on cars all day and go to lunch on the weekends. When he took off he was " Do you guys hear that whistle?" We were like "What whistle?", "There it is again", "Huh?" He spent the next three days scratching his head on Sunday before we left one of the guys cut him some slack. "Oh, look what we have here, it must have gotten stuck in there somehow."

Bawah .....

Mine doesn't do that but, it you put some wax on it maybe it would go away or, tape to change the air deflection etc... get creative.

At what speed does yours whistle? In a crosswind, no wind?

Did you recently have Clear Bra installed? Someone posted on here some time back that they had noise/whistling(?) coming from their mirror after having Clear Bra installed. They took it back to the installer, he re-did it, and it was fine afterwards.

My 05 started whistling at 55-60 mph after it was about 2 years old, for no apparent reason. Seems to be coming from the mirror, but I'm not taking it apart to find out . . .

Default whistling and stuff

I have the exact same whistle at 50-60 mph, dont matter if window is up or down and pushing does nothing. I have narrowed it down to either the mirror or the radio antenna. I noticed the antenna going into what looks like a high speed vibration, watch it as u hit 60. Funny thing... didnt start happening until i waxed my ride. wtf lol

oh ya

04 touring coup liquid aluminum not silver.
automatic, yep automatic.

mods

sr racing dual polished intake manifold with microfiber filters

no intercooler no boost

stock rotors and calipers, thermal quit pads, steele brake lines and master cylnder brace.

aps steele strut brace

SUN Automobile Hyper Voltage System

Unorthodox Racing Lightweight Flywheel and pulleys not under driven

engine and tranny oil coolers

Turbo XS UTEC

ARC Aluminum Oil Pan

NGK Iridium Spark Plugs

Altered Atmosphere True Dual Exhaust

drive line lubed with royal purple racing formula


thats about it, allot of work , good credit, luck and a bank loan and i was in.


a little wisdom


k&n filters bunk, stock ecu bunk, single intake and exhaust bunk,
best gain came from intake , ecu, exhaust.

oh and ur ginna hate me 4 this 32.4 mpg flat highway on cruse on 91 octane thanks to UTEK


the rest is stock
suspension, rims, tranny, interior, no perf stickers no rediculis rims and tires

Keeps the cops from sweating me hardcore.

p.s. z should have a v8 high rev, aluminum block reinforced steele crank assembly, fully roller, high performance 4 cam, high compression 32 valve dynamic timing fuel injected twin intake dual exhaust drive line.

and after you put 100,000 miles on and the compression drops, slap on a twin turbo dual bearing greddy setup and enjoy a whole new car ...again



why u say ????

welcome to America....... enough said. nissan pick up the pace, v6 are for old men and children, not even unough to scare my self. ahahahahahaha
