Famous Nissan Front Seat Click Problem
The Altima coupe is beset with a funny problem. When the car goes around a curve and the the driver's weight is shifted from one side to the other in the seat, a click is often heard under the seat. This has nothing to do with backward/forward adjustment or any other and my understanding is that there may be a TSB on it. It is often discussed in complaints posted on the Altima Coupe message boards. My Z has only 550 miles on it. Weather was nice here today, so I took her out for her first "spirited ride" of the break-in process. Sure enough, as I rounded a curve to the right, the click sounded. It happened twice this evening. It's no big deal and I'll probably just ignore it, as I have on the Altima. But I'm wondering if it has yet appeared in any other 370Z's.

The 350z has a similar problem and so does the 370z. Since I'm familiar with the issue I don't let it ruin my enjoyment of the z. There may be a fix now or later.

NOPE, have not heard that in my old 350 nor my 370. I also had a 99 Altima.
Sometimes your mind set for a noise or any other annoying thing makes you feel it or hear it even if it doesn't exist, dunno...

I've got it on my seats. CLOTH, not leather. Mostly on the right side, near the middle-back.

My touring seats creak when I get in and out, but I don't notice it while driving, mostly coming from the bottom seat cushion on the side. Anyone else have this?

Mine clicked around 500 miles for awhile and then magically went away. I hope I just didnt jinx myself, b/c it was annoying.

never heard it but I weigh bout 155 on a day with lotsa oreos and 2 tall glasses of milk. Its not a safety issue is it? I remember on clubrsx forums the replica recaros were doing something similar and in a bad vehicle accident, well most of the drivers aren't around to tell the story.
