Hey i have a small problem here that i just can't seem to fix!!! my 200SX SE with the GA16DE whistles everytime i bring the engine up around 5000rpm, but it only happens when i'm moving! very weird.... i can't seem to figure out why this does this. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS OR MAYBE HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE??

Hey bro, on my old car i had the same problem it was a 95 sentra gxe. i took it to the repair shop and the said the trottle body was clogged. so they cleaned it and the noise was gone. hope that helps you out bro and good luck.

My friend's car does this... it is his air intake.... if you have an air intake.... that is prob where the whistle is coming from.

my maxima gxe does this but at a lower rpm. sounds exactly like a turbo spooling. i even fooled a turbo shop with the sound. i've not figured out what mine is though. i'll check the tb and see if that's not it. i'm not sure i want it to go away though, lol.
