G35 coupe metal rumbling/rattling noise during acceleration - VIDEO!
This problem has been irking me for a few months now.
VIDEO IS ANNOTATED: IT'S EASIEST TO WATCH AND UNDERSTAND WHAT MY PROBLEM IS.

My car is a 2004 Infiniti G35 coupe, automatic w/ 80k miles.
When the car is in reverse or drive:
- Accelerating at low RPMs (maybe only 1st gear) - sound of metal rumbling/rattle
- Also when idling (you'll notice I shift into R, and the noise starts, THEN I move, noise continues)
Not sure if the problem is the engine, transmission, or if something is loose or needs to be changed.
Some other things I noticed. It's horrible when the car is cold. When it warms up and I drive it for about 15 mins, the sound is still there, but only right as I accelerate.
When I start the car and leave it in park, no noises. In neutral, it rumbles momentarily when I step on the gas.

could be shaft itself is bad or the shaft bearings are bad. I worked before on g35x and it had a simular problem, i discovered a nand brake cable was grinding against the shaft underneeth cause it was loose so that could be easy fix. Something ales could be loose too, hard to say with out checking all those things or even maybe brakes are grinding somthing.
