Default Finally another NEw Z owner!

Hey guys, I just picked up my Z last week. I decided to buy an 05 Enthusiast 6MT. I paid $22,000 USD for it and it had 32,000 miles. Anyways I came from a 06 Honda Civic and so far I have no regrets on trading my old car for it. I only have few questions for all of ya.

1. Is it normal for the car to shake a bit while you slowly disengage the clutch on first gear? Or is it because the clutch maybe worn out.

2. Whenever i turn the car off, i hear a clicking noise. Is it because of the belt is made out of chain instead of rubber?

3. Everytime I engage or disengage the clutch i hear a clicking noise aswell.

4. Everytime I am in 4th gear and i let go of the gas, I hear a whining noise. It only happens on 4th gear.

anyways here are the pics of my before and after ride plus my girlfriend.

AFTER

A big welcome. Nice car and beautiful girl. Thanks for the pics.

You might try to post your questions in a sub-forum related to those things. Not too many techies regularly cruise the "new owner's" sub-forum.

Based on your before & after posts, I almost thought the girl came with the Z! I was going to ask which dealership you went to, and how did they classify that "option". :-)
