Kind of gave up on this post due to the lack of feedback. Anyway, I went to my local dealer a few days after I posted this question. First I had the service guy listen to it. At first he didn't hear it which I thought was odd considering we were inside a bay which made it even louder sounding due to sound amplification. After a few mintues he said he heard what I was talking about and that it was normal. Still not convinced I had one of the sales guys start up another Z on the lot. To my surprise not only did it have the same noise but it was much louder.
So in the end I guess thats just part of the VQ's noise and I won't worry about it. Perhaps after I do my first oil change it will get softer. Who knows. I'm just glad that its a normal sound. Just had me worried but then again I'm not used to newer Nissans. My old L28 and VG30 in my other Z's sound completly different. My old 06 Suby was quite as a mouse. Just have to get used to my new baby is all.
