Hello, a girl from work just got a G35. She liked my ZR but needed to get something with a backseat. Well she said its making a funny noise and asked me to check it out.

When the clutch is pressed down and you rev the car there are not any noises. When the clutch is not pressed and you are accelerating or revving while sitting there is a grinding type noise, plus a constant noise like a bad rod knock. Below 2000RPM you don't really hear the noise though.

Does it take much to push the clutch down? It is a lot stiffer than the Z's clutch. Plus the G's clutch was really close to the floor hardly traveled at all to engage.

I wonder if there is an aftermarket clutch/flywheel. I wonder if the noise is the flywheel?

What do you guys think?
