not that Ive really noticed, perhaps it rattles and I dont even notice, my cars have always rattled.... I dont really care its just sorta normal for me. my last car(BMW318conv) was HORRIBLE about rattles, it really did bother me at times.

the Z nothing stands out as making alot of noise.

I had the rattle in the passenger sun visor: dealer replaced visor, fixing that one.

I also had a rattle coming from the rear strut tower brace at certain engine RPM: fixed that myself by removing the plastic shroud (with the Z logo) and replacing it with foam padding underneath.

Now I am also noticing the instrument panel rattle at times, but it is rare and minor and is not bugging me too much.

But I am also now hearing another rattle that sounds like the old passenger visor mirror rattle (like a metal/glass ringing sound) coming from somewhere else.

Either these rattles will go away by themselves (unlikely), I will get used to them, or new sounds will appear and make me forget about them. I doubt I will get them fixed because I don't think the dealer will be able to do it. I am hoping Nissan comes out with some standard rattle-fixer kit to take care of the common sources and the dealer can apply this brainlessly. I have no confidence in my dealer diagnosing and fixing such problem on their own, based on my experience with them looking at the strut tower brace issue.

my Z is a rattle factory. I have since bent many black metal peices under the rear bumber to fix several rattles. Otherwise..A OK!

I have a buzz coming from the instrument cluster in front of the driver that makes me want to c-i-l-l.

Default rattles

I had the passenger visor rattle as well - fixed by replacing it.

I also have the rattle that sounds like it's coming from inside the dash.

The last one is the rear view mirror rattles. I need to get that one taken care of.

For almost 2 mos. now.. there really have been no rattles.. but when the in-dash cup holder is extended.. I have found the car to be very tight and firm.. Also the passenger seatbelt clip rattles unless placed in the clip-holder on the panel on the column behind the seat..

The only really bothersome rattle I have now is a new one that comes from the center console above the three gauges. It's coming from where the center console meets the dash and only when it's cold. It goes away once the interior heats up, but before then it is WAY LOUD and annoying.
