Noise at Start up :(
Ok this is pretty embarrassing But whenever I start my Z and the engine is cold (been sitting for more than 30 minutes) it has this terrible rocking clanking noise (I have a recording of it but don't know how to put it on lol ) So I guess if I can figure out how to put the recording of the sound on here that might be the best of help....and then we can go from there...
p.s. Hope this in the correct place?? I couldn't really find a specific place for my problem....
Oh my gosh it sounds so terrible...I'm tempted to not even put it on here lol......and when I was trying to get the noise it started with a squeal!! Ahhh So just skip the middle part maybe it's to terrible HELP!

easiest way, most straightforward way: take a digital camera (w/video recording capabilities, of course), record the sound, create a youtube or photobucket account, upload the file to the chosen hosting site, post link to the video here.

Oh I used to have the squealing but put soap on it....it worked and now it just did it today.....first time in a couple months. But the belts were just replaced when it started doing it and they were not too lose or too tight.

I had the same problem in my 02 wrx and replaced all the belts i could find, and it would go away for a couple days then come back. I finally got fed up with it and asked a buddy to look at it, we found out it was the A/C compressor. That fixed the problem.

Micro V's are made by Gates, decent stuff. I would definitely try tightening them up just a bit more and see what happens.
As for the startup noise, it sounds like a oil pressure issue (maybe tensioner/chain slack as well?). I know my Z makes a similar noise after it's been sitting for weeks or months (I don't drive it often) but if I drive it everyday it doesn't do it. I'm sure someone with more noise knowledge will chime in

Well I originally recorded it with my iPhone (first time using that to record) and that format was not recognized by anything so I used my camera to get the sounds there....and I am a pro at video making lol not trying to brag....
