Question wierd sound like air rushing in on the drivers side.

Hey all,
I just bought a 1988 300zx turbo yesterday. It has a few issues but the one that is frustrating me the most is that when I start it up it sounds like air is rushing into the cabin on the drivers side. I have no idea what it could be. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Danny

Welcome to ZDriver!

A noise problem only described in basic words as "air rushing in" is pretty hard to diagnose over the intrawebnets.

Maybe post a video clip?
Maybe stick your head down there and listen / feel around?
Download the FSM and look at all the components located in that area?
Is the climate control fan coming on? Maybe a vent tube came loose?

Help us help you.

Sounds like either a bearing going out or a vacuum leak.
