Question New Owner in Texas

Hello, everybody! I'm Polk04 and I just purchased a 2004 350z touring (maybe track pack?) in silver this past Saturday, great car but it has a few minor problems and one I consider to be major because I like my radio. lol. The passenger tail light was out so I replaced them both with a LED to keep it even and hopefully not have to mess with them ever again.

Minor problem 1: My major problem with it right now is the radio gets very little reception, like one or two stations. I read on here the other day that it may be a blue wire for the antenna that isn't hooked up. Given it has an aftermarket speaker set up with amps and such, (I'm not a 'boom boom pow' kind of guy, but I do enjoy my regular radio stations), I would venture it wasn't reinstalled. Powered antenna's *shrug*. Anybody able to point me in the direction of a how-to article on this? (I'll search it later, figured it couldn't hurt to ask.)

Minor problem 2: I keep getting what sounds like static, coming from the passenger side door speaker area, kind of sounds like wind noise in a motorcycle helmet too. Any ideas on what that might be? FYI: This happens with the radio is turned completely off, can't get the station I want so why have it on? lol.

Minor problem 3: On start up when I push the clutch pedal to the floor it kind of chatters and such really loudly. It goes away after the car is warmed up, or at least I believe it does because it doesn't do it once I get off the highway 30 mins or so later. Kind of sounds like a loose belt or something. I don't know. I'll see about getting a video of both of my issue's and posting it/them to youtube.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'll mark through the ones I find answers for. Thanks in advance and I hope to meet some of y'all at the COTA meet this month, I should be in attendance if all goes well.

Anyway, thanks for having such a wonderful place with a plethora of information to peruse about this wonderful car!
