any1 have any ideas now?

Well, the sound Im hearing is also more like a clanking. Not so much squeaking... But mabye its just a definition-thing...?
Im gonna leave my car to the dealer next monday... they´ve already had it for one day, but they couldnt come up with anyting... =/
I also hear it when I push the clutch... only at 1, and 2...

Do you think he did something wrong when he posted his question ?
Did he "cross the line"?.. nope.. not even close...
Next time, try to help instead of write "DAFT nooby rules".....

Your car is still under warranty, I assume. Have you taken it down to the dealer to have it checked out? Hopefully, they would be able to diagnose the problem accurately and fix what ever is not working right, if something is not working right.

I think the Brickyard Rat is right. You misunderstood and still do if you question whether we are for real. Webby posted under "New Owners", it was his 1st or 2nd post ever, and he just became a member this same month.

I didn't think I was as competent as others to help him on his questions so I shut up about them and offered the 'new guy' another insight to this forum. Which by the way, he thanked me for. I thought your insight of using WD40 to solve a throw-out bearing problem most amusing. I've also heard that if sprayed on your bait, it will help you catch fish.

Webby is doing great. I'm sure you will catch on soon also.

As a conclusion of this important matter, may I suggest a little change of attitude? =)
Since you just proved that you are not able to follow and live by the (holy) DAFT nooby rules, it’s my pleasure to inform you that you are no longer entitled the use of those rules. It means that you can´t, under no circumstances, ever talk about those rules again.

Please print and sign this.

I, I1DER, obligate myself to;

1. stop writing DAFT nooby rules.
2. stop being here at all, since I cant help anyone.
3. get another hobby.
4. pick another nickname the next time I sign up for a 350z-site, because I know now that the name “I1DER” is really lame.
5. To pay a fee of 100 Euro, to this site using any of the methods available at https://my350z.com/home/?page=sponsors under “payment methods”, for each case of violating the obligations listed above. (You are currently at one (1) violation)

I hope you don´t mind now, but may I suggest another hobby for you?
Fishing! Fishing is great. I’ve been fishing since I don´t know. It’s an amazing feeling when you catch a biggie. Yesterday when I was fishing I decided to use some DW40. It really astonished me, but the use of DW40 seemed to improve my fishing. I ended up with the biggest fish you can imagine. Unfortunately it was very ugly, and it didn’t taste anything, so I gave it away. I also named it I1DER.

Cheers!

Day End,
Hopefully that was your 'conclusion' statement, although I doubt you grasp the concept of 'conclude' as you keep coming to incorrect ones. I try to offer helpful insight and you respond with some quixotic authoritarian dictates that appear to come from someone that was sniffing WD40 rather than putting it on your bait.

I wonder(I1DER) about people like you and that is where the nickname comes from. In this case it's very appropriate. I have no desire to imitate your mental masturbations like a child and you should go back to using socks.

Be thankful I have sympathy for your youth. Others on here would be ripping you a new one. May the next time we meet be a little more meaningful. Enjoy your Z.

Hi I1DER!

Hey, thanks for letting me know the meaning behind your nickname (I1DER). It’s always interesting with words, except for this case
The name, “I1DERHOWICOULDGETSOSTUPID”, would fit you much better! *tip of the day*

Ok, I1DERHOWICOULDGETSOSTUPID (can I call you that?)...anyway, here are some words for you to learn;

Word nr 1 “korkad” – This is actually a Swedish word, so I suggest you google for it…
Word nr 2 “efterbliven” – Also a Swedish word, try google! =) or... try this dictionary: http://lexin.nada.kth.se/sve-eng.html

So tell me, how does it feel to violate another nooby-rule again? Do you feel relief?
Do you feel satisfaction? Not so bad, huh?

Unfortunately you also violated one of your obligations (item nr 2; stop being here at all, since I cant help anyone.) which means you have to pay another 100 Euro, to this site using any of the methods available at https://my350z.com/home/?page=sponsors under “payment methods”. (You are currently at two (2) violations)

In Sweden, where I live (thank god for not living in the US btw), we have a very funny website. Anything is allowed, and I mean anything. I actually posted your last messages there using the copy/paste method. As a consequence of that, a lot of people have been laughing at you. Because when the readers like it, they vote, and the voting gives me points, which I can use to get access to a lot of things.
I am just a few points from the highest level, (thanx to you) but one more message from you, which I could use the same way, would really help me out. Please, do me this favor!

Brgrds / WD40

I always assumed that people from Sweden were worldly wise and fairly open-minded. That's what I get for generalizing, but you are probably just a deviant. I do like to cause people to laugh. However,don't be so sure it is me they are laughing at.

I've been called a lot of things, but I think you are the first to use the description "stupid". That's good. Things usually go better when the self-elected opponent under-estimates you. Again I'll will be nice, you are probably ignorant rather than stupid. Probably a lack of cross-cultural understanding....another thing that usually isn't typical of a Swede.

I'll not post again here as this is Webby's thread and I'm not sure he got his answers before it got hijacked. Thanks Webby for your patience.

I never hear a clunk when using the clutch, of course there is a small clank when putting the shifter into 1st or 2nd or reverse, but thats normal with any manual tranny

Hi again!
Congratulations! I noticed that you now know how to quote properly! Great! Really good!
I will copy/paste this also, so thanx, even though it wasn’t as entertaining as your last ones..
And, btw, I never called you stupid, even though I can’t disagree to the fact that you are. =)

You have now, once again, violated obligation nr 2 (2=stop being here at all, since I cant help anyone.) which means you have to pay another 100 Euro, to this site using any of the methods available at https://my350z.com/home/?page=sponsors under “payment methods”. (You are currently at three (3) violations)

Regarding me being deviant, I can only agree. I am, in fact _very_ deviant from you. In fact, I think we all are.

Gnight!

i went to the dealership and, of course, the "clank" noise didn't happen.

i may just be paranoid and everything is fine.

Good for you day_wald_end, I do not visit here or participate often because of the same reason, some people just feel they are GOD"S answer to anything 350Z, I think they are just lonely people in a power trip. I hope more people like you join so maybe we could actually help instead of knocking down other members and showing off.

1. Is shifting from 1-2 a little jerky/doesn't exactly feel smooth some times?
2. When i am in 1st gear up the levels of the parking garage at my school and i put in the clutch to turn in and park, i hear a "clank" noise or something. Not exactly sure how to describe it, but just wondering if any1 else has heard something like that...

Welcome...and Im also a first time 350Z owner myself. As far as going from 1st to 2nd gear, trying releasing the clutch in a slow and gradual motion as you give it gas..i find that technique will make the shift a little smother. And as far as the other situation your having...try using 2nd gear seeing how its pretty universal and you can get away w/ parking in second...
