i bought my 04 g35 2d AT about 2 months ago. love it but lately i hear this noise when i turn it on and i put it into drive it does this clicking sound. but only when i first start it and put it in drive. and rarely when i take off it will do it again......any ideas?

 

are you talking about a slight metal grinding sound? My car does this every morning after its been sitting for at least 12 hours. Start the car, put it in first, hit about 10mph then weird noise happens...If this is the noise you are referring to, it is the ABS doin a self check i believe.

 

no its a loud click. nothing like metal grinding.

 

How does it feel when your tranny changes gears and how many miles on it. I have heard about rear Axil clicks or that could be your gears grinding

 

If I rember Nissan had a recall to address a clicking in the rear hubs, they checked the rear hub bolt torque. replaced hubs and bolts in some instances it coverd my 03 and my sis 05 so I'm guessing it would have coverd your 04 you might see if the recall was done on yours.

 

To OP it sort nds like the axle click awilli would be right about that I believe.to Sillyoldtayo ur thing is the ABS kicking on.

 

2MUCH, you should be able to Google and find a video of the ABS self test and find out if that's your noise.

 

how do i check if the recall was done? call infiniti? ill look at the video as well.

 

It may be the axle click, does it happen when changing from R to D? I always hear mine then...

 

sometimes

 

in fact let me get in my car real quick and tell u exactly when it does it

 

ok just checked. i get in hold the brake down, put in reverse and i hear a click sometimes a double click, then i put it in drive and it clicks again. reverse and it clicks again and so on, but after about 6 times switching between reverse and drive it stopped until i put it back in park and and back to reverse again and i hear the click again. what is this its driving me nuts

 

Yes


You have the infamous axle click. If you are a DIY guy it's easy to fix and will cost you a total of $7 for grease and a couple of hours for your time. Dealer wanted to charge me $400 to fix. Read through this thread.
