What's making this noise?
My 83 zx 2+2 manual makes a strange whining-type noise coming from the rear at 45-47 mph only. The car only as 45K on it. Any ideas what could be doing it. Wouldn't be such a pain, but a lot of the cruising I do is in that range on back roads. Thanks.

Could be a number of things...
- Rattling Catalytic converter - When these go bad or get loose or whatever it is, they will have a resonant buzzing sound that only occurs at very specific rpm/speeds
- Rearend - gear noise/humming. Most likely IMO. Change your gear fluid and see if that helps. You might be a bit low after all these years, or the goo is spent.
- Wheel bearing - maybe but I'd try changing the gear oil before anything else.
