Hello all, I bought an 03 g35 sedan (I know, ancient) 2 months ago. 108,000 miles. A few days ago when I got home from work, I noticed a faint ticking noise coming from the driver's side wheel area. The noise doesn't sound from anywhere else. No check engine lights, no noticible performance problems. Just had the oil changed, didn't help any. No low oil pressure light. Oil level is right on the money. I use 93 octane fuel. It seems to only do it at idle and when the motor is at operating temp. I've heard these vehicles have loud fuel injectors, is this true? Sorry, this is my first nissan/infinti, I'm not familiar what so ever with these type of cars.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

 

Our cars make all kinds of weird noises like the radiator fans. When they both kick on high it sounds like a freaking jet airplane. I wouldn't worry about the ticking unless it changes or gets louder, sounds like your motor's fine.

 

Yeah, it could be your injectors, or some slight valve ticking if you use synthetic, but it may not even be your engine at all. Like blue said these cars have a ton of stupid noises. I thought I had a bad engine tick one time that would get progressively worse as rpms climbed, and i finally realized it was just my shifter **** being loose. It sounded exactly the same as a valve ticking, but when I held the shifter REALLY tight I could keep it from happening. It was stupid. Haha

But, yeah, as long as it doesn't get worse or change, I wouldn't worry.
