Scraping sound when moving from parked
I'm noticing this slight short scraping or grinding sound when my Z starts rolling after being parked for a while. Actually, I can feel it through my feet more than I can hear it. It only happens if I have parked the Z for a bit, and only when I initially start rolling.....then it's gone. Anyone have any idea what this is, and is it normal for the Z?

Next time, do not park so close to the curb,. That sound you hear is your front end scraping the curb.
Hell, I have no idea!

Back on topic, I'll be on a completely flat surface with no objects around and it does that. I don't think it's harmful, though.

I'm taking my Z in for a new pair of front tyres, in a few weeks. I'm thinking of asking them to check out this grinding noise, but I don't want them to mess up my Z in the process.......so maybe I should just keep my mouth shut. She's been running perfect except for the very slight feathering at 8.5K (I'm surprised they're willing to give me new tyres ) and this subtle grinding noise, which is not even an issue if it's suppose to do that. Hence, that's what I'm trying to find out.

It does sound like maybe something is being released. Not sure.

I got that noise when my brakes needed replacing - of course by that time the drums had to be turned! Ouch !! ( this was on the Maxima - not the 350 Z ) Does this sound comforting??

Is this the one where it sounds like a slight scraping of metal on metal when you go slowly past 1800 rpm? I have no idea what it is either, but I've had that since the beginning.

I wondered that myself, then I checked the manual on page 5-21 explains it all. The car has a self-testing Ant-Lock Braking System diagnostic feature each time you start up the car. You'll hear a clunk noise and maybe pulsation of the brake pedal. It's all normal and it's all good

Actually, I believe it is the brake pads against the disc. The pads are compressed against the disc with the parking brake set and "break loose" after the brake is released and the car starts to roll.
