Comin from the rear? The front?

 

from the back...from the passengerside...

 

clearly you are assuming it is engine or drivetrain. how did you arrive at that conclusion?

i guess .it just came up...that is why i want to ask people...i dont know much about the car..myself..that is why i am asking for help....before i take it in to the dealer..

 

i have the exact problem

 

along with 75% of other Z owners.

 

So it is normal....not a problem????kinda worried....

 

Search "clicking noise" FTW.....

 

May be higher than 75%

 

A good place to start is looking at applicable service bulletins. Very informative.

 

The clicking you are hearing is coming from the axels in the rear. Many people have this problem with the Z's. There is a TSB on it from Nissan, and there are a couply DIY threads on here about it as well. Some people, including myself, just yanked the cotter pin out and took a impact gun on the axel nut and tightened it up and wala, no more noise. If you bring it to Nissan they'll go through the whole thing for you, which honestly is pointless in my opinion.

If you can live with the clicking, it's not going to hurt anything.

 

+1... Rear axle is making the clicking noise. It doesn't effect driveability, performance, nor will the car breakdown as a result...

 

i had it for the first year or so but i never hear it anymore, could be cause my exhaust is too loud.

one way to fix it.

 

thanks...for all the info...therefore...just forget about it.it is all good..thanks

 

Mine does it constantly now if I go over like 35mph. Its just annoying.
