Yes, mine makes all kinds of noises from 1st to 2nd. I like to call it the cement mixer sound. It also has a very distinctive clunk when slowing in first gear and pushing the clutch in. I took it to the dealer and they claim this is normal, saying that the 350's also had the cement mixer sound, rattle and clunk. Really takes the enjoyment out of the car, I'm almost embarrassed to let a valet park my car.
So many other things I love about the 370z, so I guess I'll have to live with it.
