I've got about 13K on the Z now and in that time it's made all sorts of odd noises... my latest sounds like I ran over a coathanger and it frequently makes "clinking" noises sounding like it's coming from the right front. i mostly here it when i'm stopped and start moving then i don't here it for a while. I almost always here it when i start backing up, which makes me think it may be coming from the front brake......

nissan dealership said "Uhhh." drive it for a while and see what happens, same thing they told me about my clutch making noises. they have proven to not be worth much more than an oil change so far.

it's become quite embarrising to go through a drive through in this car anymore. It looks so nice, but when i pull away it sounds like a bucket of bolts!!!

 

i heard a noise like that in my Z for the first time last night.. and i only have about 5500 miles on it

 

Check in the Repair section, this is a common topic in there. Link to Sticky

 

I checked that link out dev... thanks. I'm pretty sure it's not a CV joint though. not that type of sound, i've had lots of exp with those in the past. this sound is much higher pitch than your typical clicking with a CV joint.

 

hey, sorry you're having noises too. what bike do ya ride, looks like a gsx of some sorts or another by your avatar. i do a lot of riding. 600rr. had it too a local 8th mile drag and got a 7.25 out of her. never been to a 1/4 yet. hoping to get to do some track days this summer at summit point or vir.

 

Nissanhelp.com!! Just Had My Axles Fixed For The Second Time, Now All They Have To Do Is Find The Water Leak By My Passenger Door, Replace My Skipping Bose Head Unit And Fix The Clunking Front Suspention
