Man I thought I was the only one getting this sound...I took it to the dealer and they told me it my 20" rims hitting my rear brakes...Fools the lot to them...I told them it began while I still had stock rims and if the idiots actually looked at the rear wheels they would see like 2 inches of clearance from the calipers...Anyway I still have the noise exactly a clinking sound...Funny thing is I had the same sound on my Ford Probe GT and no one every found the reason...Im not too hopefull on them finding the culprit either on the Z....

Yep, it's a TSB. They replaced my rear axles.

Yeah, there's a tsb for this and should be covered under warranty. I took my car in for the same problem. All they did was clean out the rear axle flanges, added some more lube, and replaced the bolts and nuts. The noise went away for two days and came back . The noise is still there, but I've gotten used to it.
