i bought a 06 base model from performance nissan and it has only been a month or so.... i barely have 2500 miles on it and i am hearing this clicking noise when i am slowly accelerating from stop to go on 1st and 2nd gear... i am not here to ask what this problem is... cause i've already did a search and found numerous results for this problem.. but that is not my question.. my question is has anybody from s.kali experienced this problem... and if so... can you guys recommend a dealer for me to go to... any dealers that will be familiar with this problem.. cause i don't want to go to a dumb dealer and get the same dumb excuse they love to pull which are "we couldn't replicate the problem" or "i have never heard of this problem" or "i have no idea what you are saying" stupid things like that the dealers love to use.... i have already printed out the numerous posts from this forum.. which were very helpful... and i have already printed out the tsb...

so..
has anybody experience this problem before in s.kali?
if so..
which dealer did you guys take it too???

any help will be appreciated.. cause that sound is freakin annoying and makes my car sound like its a cheap piece of crap car....

 

go to where your bought it.... or west covina.

 

mine did that when had 500 miles, now at 2600 it does not do it any more. I assumed it was the gas I used.

 

what gas did you use??? and what gas are you using now????

 

okay... now that's great.. where are you at? and who do i ask for???

lol so harsh :]

 

I had that same problem. It was a clicking noise at low speed in 1st and 2nd gear. The issue I had on my car was the half shafts needed to be removed, cleaned, and repacked. Perfomance nissan did the work, but that was when Jeff was there. Jeff is now with West Covina Nissan. Go there you wont be disappointed.

i had the same problem it was something to do with the axles being regreased or something

 

the best/smartest dealerships in so.cal? there are only two dealerships you could trust.

performance nissan @ duarte
or
west covina nissan @ west covina

 

the noise appears during the 1st and the 2nd gear... and on 1st gear when i accelerate and release the pedal the engine makes this grinding sound......but on high speed it seems like the noise goes away... well.. i'm going to take the car to west covina.. got the contact information for frank and going to make an appointment with him... by the way what gas do all of you guys use??? 91??? i just want to thank everybody for all their inputs.....

and for ahamads post... was that necessary... it seems like everywhere you go... there are always people like you.... i'm sure you were trying to be funny.. but as you can see from my number of posts and i'm new to the 350z... and the post you wrote was not necessary. when i used to be on the civic forums.. there were people like you too.. which made new members feel like crap....

 

ahmads post wasn't necessary.. but yeah, this is my350z.com.. you gotta get used to it. we like to joke around with each other, all friends here.

good luck with your car.

 

have your axle service at the place u bought

 

OK, question for you all then...I have the same type of clicking noise from the rear axle. I went to my dealer, they're telling me after I had the after market brakes installed (Hawk), that the shim kit wasn't reinstalled, and THAT'S what's making the noise. NTB04-065 service bulletin.

Is this true, or BS cause they didn't wanna repair the axle?

 

i got the same axle clicking noise too, noticed it yesterday, and my brakes are stock..

 

So basically, they're bull$hitting me. Figures.....guess I'll have to make an appointment with Jeff @ West Covina, to get the truth.

 

+1 on the unnecessary meanness!

 

Mine made noise very similarly to what you're describing, but it went away after a while. Went away, probably after about 500 miles for me. Guess it was just cause the car was new. But, since you said you've got some mileage on, I'd get it checked out, like everybody already said.

 

yeah they are full of shi** its ur rear axle and its not from aftermarket brakes
