Thanks for the tip Z Fanatic - have double checked and it's definitely not a stone. Does anyone have any comments on being able to drive it before it can be looked at?

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help and advice (especially considering it's quite a noob thing to ask by all accounts!) On reflection I think it probably is the famous rear axel clicking issue so have booked it in with my nearest dealer to be looked at. Will it be ok to drive in the mean-time?

Hey, I'm hoping someone can give me a hand... I have a 2004 350z (GT Pack), and I need help identifying what's causing a weird noise. The symptoms: When applying or releasing pressure from the accelerator I head ticking or clicking noise. It's not a constant noise, it happens maybe once or twice on each occassion. It also occurs when pulling away from stand-still, but happens if coasting along, and then I press on the accelerator. I can't tell exactly where it's coming from (i.e. front/rear etc). I am not mechanically minded at all, but initially I thought it might be connected to the exhaust (pressing the accelerator would cause more exhaust gases, right?). However, it doesn't happen if the car is stationary, so if I leave it in neutral and press the accelerator it doesn't happen. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Mmm, I'm not convinved now. I think it'll look a bit out of place without other complementing parts (like tinted windows or black skirts)... Anyone tried bronze...?

Awesome, you could try something like image shack?

Hi guys, I'm thinking of going for some darker wheels, does anyone have any pictures or examples for me to see? I have a standard grey body and the rays alloys. I'm getting them refurbished and am considering putting my mark on the car, but don't know how it would look.

Forgive my lack of knowledge here but how do I check for those things? It's an 04 GT Pack model if that helps?

Hey guys, just been on a bit of a road trip across the UK and have noticed a new noise and wondered if anyone else has had this. It's a kind of rattling noise, almost like there's a stone caught somewhere being flung around. It happens mainly in 1st and 2nd gear, particularly while feathering the clutch. It's only really noticeable with the window open and driving next to walls to reflect the sound in - so it's not a major problem, as long as there's nothing majorly wrong. Anyone got any ideas? Edit: corrected thread title, sorry to anyone who posted a deer related pun!

A further development... It seems if I brake too hard it cuts out. To get it back I have to switch the a different CD and pray I don't have to do any emergency stops. Is this something I could get Nissan to fix if I took it to a dealer?

Hi all, just recently bought my zed. It was all working fine but I noticed that going over severe bumps causes problems with my speakers. The left side cuts out/starts working again. Has anyone else experienced this or have any tips on what I should do to solve the problem? Cheers

Nah the bite point is fine, sorry should have mentioned that. That's why the alarm bells didn't go off right away. Thanks for the advice

So it's quite subjective then... What sort of money would I be looking at if it did go?

Hi all. I am looking at buying my first zed. Over the weekend I tested two and found one that I'm interested in... However I noticed that the clutch was quite high, in comparison to the other. I just wanted to check if this is a known or common issue - or if it should be considered a problem? Any advice would be much appreciated. Cheers!
