Kinda hard to hear in the video. Try to isolate the sound, if its coming from the passenger side, near the firewall...it could be the fuel dampener causing pulses in the fuel line (it will sound like a ticking noise)

Hard to hear...
Is the "ticking" happening all the time or,just when the car is cold?Does it go away
or get quieter after the car warms up?What type of oil are you using?Stupid question..
you did check the oil level.right?When was the last oil chage?How many miles on the car?Just guessing by the looks
of the engine(clean),did you recently buy the car?
When did the noise start?
Hey,did'nt you just post that your boyfriend just wrecked your car...rear end?Have you checked the exhaust system?The pic sure looked like the exhaust may have been hit and jammed forward.
The ticking could be involving this...gasket/connection near the front.A leak near the head pipes would give you a tick.
He must have wacked your Z pretty good!
Could the BF have hit something under the car also?OIL LEAK?

The ticking happens all the time, and mainly while I'm driving.
I use Mobil1 and the oil was just changed about a month ago, and the car doesnt get driven much so probably about couple hundred miles.
the car has 66,xxx miles on it.
And I got the car about 2 years ago but it is garage kept and all that stuff.
And the noise started about 3-4 months ago.

And no that wasn't my Boyfriend who wrecked the Z, believe me if that was mine he would no longer be alive! haha
