Why is my Nissan 370Z making strange noises when I start it?

I recently purchased a used Nissan 370Z and have noticed that when I start the car, it makes a strange whining noise. It seems to go away after a few minutes of driving but I'm worried about potential issues. Has anyone else experienced this and know what could be causing it?

Hi Samantha, it's possible that the noise is coming from a worn out or loose belt in your engine. I would recommend taking your car to a mechanic to have it inspected and potentially replaced.

I had a similar issue with my 370Z and it turned out to be a problem with the alternator. I would recommend having that checked as well.

Make sure to check your oil levels as well, as low oil can sometimes cause strange noises in the engine. If it's been a while since your last oil change, it's probably a good idea to have that done too.
