g'day guys, first time poster long time reader. Picked up my beast last week and I luv it. however, the whine or whizing noise that it makes is really becoming annoying. its definetly not the turbo (cause I sold my gts skline for this beast, so I know what a turbo sounds like. anyway, I get the impression that this may not be an isolated problem, I read that others also hear and suffer from this annoyance. has anyone worked out what it could be and how it can be fixed??

cheers 4 the feedback

Where is the whine coming from and at what speeds??...diff...gearbox...are the normal whine spots

If its at low speeds and is a rubbing noise than it could be the handbrake lining/shoes need tightening.

Fixed 3 times, paid first time, still givin me greif.

Is your audio on or off? some get alt noise through the aidio set up.

I'm thinking it's your Audio, probably an earth loose/missing. Dealer should be able to track it down, hopefully.

Welcome to the site, does your brother swim?

Have you checked the obvious sources like.... do you only hear the whine when your wife is in the car?

A bad tradesman blames his tools!

Sorry, nothing constructive to post :lol:

hey there d.popov... I just had high end amp and speakers fitted to my xr6t ( to replace the only just adequate ones) and the owner of the store that installs them said that the ba has a very noisy electrical system... meaning that the electrical wires can cause the speakers to buzz or in your description whine... I would suggest taking it to a reputable stereo store or installer and road test it with them and see what they think...

Guys

I think that if you don't know the difference from a stereo whine to a mechanical whine then we have serious problems

I'll go back to my corner now

thanxs for the feedback guys. the whine is also heard when the stereo is off, if that narrows it down. other than ive just gone from a skyline gts to the xr6t, and I dont regret one little bit

That only narrows it down 80%,not bad..has to be drive line!
