Hi, I have a 2004 G35 Coupe automatic. I've noticed a griding noise when the car shifts from 1st to 2nd gear, but it only happens once (after I start the car). Anyone else experience this? The dealer says it's normal and every coupe does the same thing.

 

That is the sound of the ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) calibrating itself. All G35's do it, it's normal. No need to worry.
