Ticking sound from driver side. Very audible at idle.

It's so distinct it sounds like it's an outside tapping noise that's not coming from the motor. Sad to say, it most definitely is coming from the motor. Almost sounds like a car key tapping on glass. It can't be good... My mods are Stillen G3's, HFC's, catback and uprev tune. I don't think anything will be an issue other than the custom tune in regards to warranty work. Should i have uprev flash it back to stock and remove the uprev software before taking it to the dealership? Opinions on the noise?

I can't hear anything out of line in the video, so I can't really be of much help with your specific sound. I have noticed that most of our cars tend to have a ticking sound at idle, but from what you say it seems to be a different sound, is that correct?
I would definitely reflash back to stock before taking it back in, if for no reason other than to simplify things. |

Is your sound up? lol... There is a VERY noticeable tick that sounds like someone tapping on glass with a car key or something... it's not like tick, tick, tick, tick... it's more like... tick...........tick, tick.........................tick........tick, tick.
If that makes sense..

I've never heard pinging, but it's not that is it? Are you using at least 91 octane fuel?

A ticking sound is normal. You shouldn't be able to hear it if your hood is closed. If you use nisan ester oil the noise will be less.

doesnt sound serious cuz its not a constant sound like if you had an internal engine issue(bearing)etc..sounds more like a vsv-vacuum switching valve,or a metal or aluminum heating up,sometimes as they heat up or cool dwon you hear ticking noises
