How many miles on the car ?? Is is possibly ur A/C Comp. Clutch ? There may be a prob with it that makes itself known when it is not under a load. Many times a sound will travel from one point to another making it difficult to pinpoint, nother words the sound u hear at the exhaust could be originating from elsewhere. Does it do it at idle ? What u can do is get a 4 foot piece of vacuun hose and use it as a stethascope to pinpoint it. Need less to say be careful u dont NEED a doctor by getting to close to a belt.

check your oil.

That's how my problems with the engine started out. I heard a loud clattering type noise coming from the engine. Shortly after that I realized there was no oil in the engine.

i use 93 gas so im ok there. I jsut got an oil change so that shoud be ok. This is really frustrating. Im thinking about taking it to a non nisssan dealership and maybe they will find an unbiased solution.
