Does the sound go away when you turn off the AC/Heater blower? Mine makes a similar noise when the blower is on. Can barely hear it with radio off. Its inaudible with the radio on.

God I miss my Max. I really love the VQ engine. I went from a 4th Gen Max to a 2GS3. The Max has an ungodly amount of low end torque. I had a Place Racing CAI, Warpspeed Y-Pipe, and Greddy SP2 Catback for power mods. It was definitely faster from a dig then my GS3 with Tanabe TM. Alot more nimble too. I think it was right around 3k lbs. Handling was awesome with eibachs/Tokicos, FSTB, rear sway, and G35 wheels.

Welcome to the real deal. No offence but I think the Maximas blatantly ripped off the styling of the GS. Sometimes I'll see a Maxima and I have to look close to make sure it's the Maxima and not a GS.
