You must have gotten one of that run of late 33s that were built with a death rattle that they couldn't ever fix. There was a TSB on it but remedies from Nissan ended in like 2024 for Z33 and the few Z34s affected. .
What's a TSB ?

still have the vette, its not going anywhere in the near future, its paid off and all the money i dumped into the motor i would be amazed to recoup that. the juke is the rain and snow car, but going crazy since the vette has been hibernating in the garage due to snow, rain, and temps below 40 (summer tires)

That TSB was useless. Nissan wanted to send the Z back to Tochigi for a new rear subframe with upgraded hydraulic fluid filled bushings, grade 8 axle nuts, and new re-valved rear struts. But, the owner had to pay for it since it was not a full recall. However, the few that did it reported positive feedback.

What I found was the actual valve in the shock/strut made noise (almost like a mid knock) until it warmed up.
