Default Z making noise when parked

ok when i park my Z and turn it off it makes this noise. It sounds like a ball bearing jumping around in the gas tank. I dont know where exactly the noise is coming from but thats how its sounds.

anyone knows wat that could be?

Got a video / sound clip? Does clutch position change the noise in any way?

Fuel pumps may make noise after shutting the car OFF. Not a good sign. Keep an eye on other fuel related problems. It may be time for a new pump.

Do you have a manual transmission or an automatic?

If manual, try pushing/holding in the clutch as you turn the car off. Did the sound go away? If so, it's the throw-out bearing, which is "normal" on these cars.

Without a soundclip it's hard to know. Can it be your exhaust colling down?
