Default Just purchased a 2005 touring 6 speed..???'s

Hi All!

I just purchased a 2005 white touring last night. 6 speed.

The car is in AWESOME shape but if i may, i do have a few questions.

I've searched a lot on google and it kept bringing me to MY350Z.com so I figured i'd just sign up.

First, the knocking/rattling noise at idle until you press the clutch... SCARED the crap out of me when i got home. I thought my engine was knocking but when i pressed in the clutch.. it went away.. Search showed me that this is normal? and it may be the throwout bearing?! I'm not used to this..

2nd, at low speeds it sounds like the brakes are touching the disks for some reason.. why i don't know.. didnt do too much of a search on this though.

3rd, i've got the clicking issue so I assume i need to replace the axle nut?.. its on the right rear btw.. but I should probably do both sides lol

4th, i've got the tire psi light on and when you drive the car beeps at me with 3 long beeps i believe.. So it's true i have to go to the dealer to get it reset? or is there a way of doing it. I searched on here and it appears that i need to go to the dealer.

FINALLY... This is just odd.. These cars seem to have a lot of drivetrain noise and clunkiness to them. When i'm driving just say at 40mph or so.. and i'm in 5th gear cruisin around, when i start to accelerate, the rear end makes this loud rumble noise but starts to go away when i go faster.. OR..if i just downshift to 3rd and stay higher in RPMS, its not there, or not so apparent.

Could anyone help me? I'm so not used to these cars lol.. I have a turbo s2000 which i'm used to and a 2002 maxima auto that i'm selling since i got this My wifey just purchased a 2008 g37S red on black.. beautiful cars...

Thanks all!

Allan

EDIT.. btw.. i did read teh 100 questions first before i asked. The only thing that really stood out that was apparent to my issues was the clutch noise until depressed then goes away issue.. thanks!

I wasn't sure where it would be more appropriate. Should this be here? or the other place?
