Oh thank God it looks like the problem had been identified. For a while now it had been a big mystery. It is hard to say if Nissan would fix this kind of problem. On the Warranty terms and conditions it says it doesn't cover out of place sounds, noises, vibrations, and what not. The attitude is, "If it's running fine despite the noise; then it is not covered under warranty". Kind of screwed up I know but that is just how it is with these Corporations. Considering how much money people spend on a 370Z starting at $34,000; it would be better if there weren't any of these noises that are out of place.
On a side note when I went to the Subaru test drive event near Malibu. I noticed that those cars performed flawlessly. There was not a single noise out of place at all. I wonder what had happened to Nissan.
