Either way, no clanking.

Well, the intermittent clacking noise is a normal thing for the 370z's.. the certified mechanic at the dealership advised so i'm going with his word..

So if any of you hear that noise, it's normal.. it's just annoying but it only occurs sometimes..

just bump up the audio so you won't hear it..

I have to admit that I am embarrassingly in love with this car but a few more things I would add to this list are:

1)Not sure if this happens to everyone but I’m ALMOST 5’6” and when I turn left I can’t see where I’m going because the left hand mirror blocks my entire view. I’m getting used to double checking before doing a left turn but I have to say that the back of my mind says a little prayer for any pedestrian that may be running across as I do so.

2)I agree with the cup holders. It has two seats, it should at least hold two Tim Horton coffees!

3)The musicbox should let you load music from your Ipod. Who buys CDs anymore??

4)The “enter” button in the steering wheel sticks out too much. I hit it once in a while which changes my tunes. Even I don’t like to mess with my tunes!

5)I can hear ever grain of sand and pebble that the tires thrust towards the car as they role over “grit”. Makes me cringe every time!

Other then that …. I am head over heels with this car.

I believe that many manual transmissions, as long as the engine is under load, if you press down the clutch while still on the gas or while the engine has a decent amount of load on it, will make a noise. I know the 240sx and 350z's sometimes do this.

question..
How do you sit in the car and either roll the windows down or turn on the radio WITHOUT turning on the engine???

SSjVegita · 04-01-2010, 04:25 PM

lol, well when u press the start button, dnt engage the clutch or if its a auto the brake, usually pressing it twice without engaging anything will get you to be able to roll down the windows
