Engine rattle...please help!
Two very wierd things happen when I start up the anytime of the day...First is when I turn the key the car feels like its just not gonna turn on/over...kinda like it wants to die on the turn on!?!
Second, I will be in neutral and just give the car a little gas and you can hear a rattling sound as it revs, but "seems" to be only in the beginning of the rev. Does anyone know what this could be? It feels like a slight to moderate loss of power down low. Highway speed seems to be ok. any help would be greatly appreciated!

I could post pix of that stupid dual 25lbs stock flywheel...dumb. I lost like 12 pounds dropping that cr@p. As for clutch/F.W. I'm not opinionated, there all good. I guess base it on future plans (hp goals)

BTW, your clutch pedal won't get stuck to the floor when you dump it if you go aftermarket!!!!

This has been posted before. The vq35 has oil pressure driven chain tensioners. It takes a second for oil pressure to reach the tensioners and tighten the chains. The sound is the chains hitting the timing cover. It happens usually when the car sits for more than a day. My 2001 Maxima did it and my 03.5 G35 did it too.

It happens every time I start the engine, regardless of stationary time. I guess I will take it to the dealership and see what they say...but they ALWAYS treat people like they are crazy or imagining things...
