Guest Nic-Rebel450CA Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 Ok everyone, several of you know that I am going to go pick up my first Z soon (monday actually). I have one question about a noise that I heard that sounded like possibly the R200. It sounded like a constant "whirrr" while driving. I have heard this sound from differentials in other cars before and have always been told it is normal and ok, however, in the Z (1970 240z) it is particularly loud. Is that just cuz of the lack of insulation and sound-deadening material? Is this something that should be of concern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David K Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 I have the same sound from the rear. It sounds healthy and normal, its not one of those sounds that you know something is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperZ Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 The R200s will whine if run low on fluid, but it will still go forever. I had faith once in the "Jiffy-Lube" type joints, and was told time and time again the rear end fluid was checked and OK. 3 years later I was driving home from Jiffy Lube after being told that very line, and the rearend started HOWLING! The plug was tight, but the diff was bone dry! Filled it with fluid myself, it ran in my car for 3 more years, though it whined terribly. Needless to say, I've never been back to any lube place - do it all myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
