What's up yall! I just bought my 2004 G35 coupe last Nov. 22. 2003. While I am impressed with its performance needless to say, I recently started hearing a noise coming from underneath the engine bay. This only happens when I first start the car, put it in gear and drive a couple of feet as the car swithces to second gear. I would describe the noise as a spring being pulled and makes a clicking noise as it is let go. If anyone can shed some light on this problem, I would appreciate it. I brought the car back to the dealer, Glendale Infiniti, and they said that they would get to the bottom of it. Meanwhile, I received a loaner car and guess what? The noise came from the loaner car as well. Is this a standard noise? My G35 is a coupe and the loaner is a sedan. I'm wondering if this is a frequently occurring problem. I hope not. Most likely people may not hear this noise because of their dope system blasting in the background. If anyone can help...please reply...sorry for the long post. Jocam23

 

What you are hearing is the VDC calibrating. It happens everytime you start the car and calibrates the first time it reaches 9-10 mph.
I'm surprised you didn't notice that on Nov. 22nd

Thx JD. I appreciate the reply...in that case if I turn off the VDC, will the noise go away? Jocam23.

 

no, it is calibrating the anti-lock system as well.
It only happens the once, shouldn't be concerned about it.
