So I bought a 350Z at the weekend and so far I love it, as does the wife (I'm going to struggle to keep it away from her I think!)

I have noticed one issue though...

There's a noise from the rear end that gets louder as the speed increases almost like a motorbikes exhaust.
The noise stays the same is I dip the clutch and gets louder if I turn left and almost disappears if I turn right.
I can't feel any vibration though.

I reckon it's probably the right hand wheel bearing, anyone agree or think it could be something else?

You are probably correct, normal wisdom says they are both the same age, so change both anyway, it could save doing the job again in a few months.
