2 noises I've noticed
 
One noise is when I push down the clutch.. There is a "fluttering" or "rattling" noise. It's not super loud but I hear it when I'm traveling slower in 1st or 2nd gear probably due to less cabin noise. It basically "rattles" a few times as I press down the clutch then stops when the clutch is down to the floor. Is it just the sound of nissans clunky clutch or something I should worry about?.......never mind, after reading a bit it sounds like its the flywheel. Does everyone hear this in their manual z's?

The other noise is a faint low-toned "moan" almost, or like a metal bending type of noise( I don't think metal is actually bending just how it sounds). I hear it only when I am in first or 2nd gear going literally 1 mph. Just coasting without a foot on either the gas, break or clutch. Once I accelerate a bit it goes away. Normal noise or no?

I would have to say no, this is not normal.
I would take it to the dealer and take a tech along for a ride.

Normal... 1st sound is the clutch chatter and the 2nd is your brakes under low speed...

:confused: Occasionally clutch chatter... but no metal bending noises... that's not good.

"metal bending" is the term i used for lack of a better description...its more like a low toned noise..only noticeable if i turn off the radio and really listen
