Strange transmission rattle
At around 1-1.2k rpm a loud rattle can be heard from under the car. It only happens when I pass or hold this rpm range. Also, it only does it when the car is in gear. If I rev in neutral through this range no sound at all can be heard (which makes me think it's the tranny). The strange part is, once the engine is up to normal operating temp the sound goes away all together. Is anybody else experienceing similar problems?

Could it be exhaust pipe vibrating against something?
When you rev in neutral, there is no load on the engine so you don't get that small amount of twist from the torque. That twist could be shifting the cats or Y-pipe enough to rub or vibrate on something.

I also have a rattle in that range in first. It only seems to happen when I let the clutch out to fast with out enough gas, is this normal? Mine is not my exhaust I know that, I had mine inspected over and over for a rattle I had in the 3k range. Warm or not my car makes this noise as well.

I had that rattle when you release the clutch checked out last week. The mechanic said it was just the tranny under load, and it's more pronounced in the Z than other Nissans. I also tested out a couple of new Z's and they had the same noise. If we're talking about the same thing than it's normal.
I'm not sure about the original poster's noise though
