Do any of you guys have a clicking sound when stopped? Last night I pulled up to a drive thru window and hear a constant clicking sound coming from underneath my car. It only clicks when I drive moderately to hard, and clicks about every second for a few minutes until the car cools down. It happend again today, this time I can hear it from inside the car with the windows rolled up. Starting to bug me, does anyone know anything bout this?

only 1400 miles.

yeah, thats normal to all cars
the main crackling noise is from the hot steel from the exhaust

I drove it pretty hard the other night ..

pulled over in a infiniti dealership to check out other G's
(dont ask me why, its not they are any different)

and I heard a loud tick .... just one... like the steel pipes crack sound....
we all know the sound...but it was loud..

and I started to time its intervals ..every 10 seconds
then 15 seconds
the 25 seconds and eventually went away.

keeping in mind ..driving hard for me is up to 4 k in most gears for some time .. on my car which has 1200 kms

so ... I think it is completely normal .... I like the sound ... reminds me of my pops old 66 Vette with a 427 turbo jet

later dudes

 

That clicking can be heard in any car after it has been driven hard...it is perfectly normal

 

I get the same thing, although it really doesn't require hard driving anymore, and the intervals between them have shortened. It's a much sharper snapping sound than on previous cars I've driven, but apparently it's either completely normal or a model-wide problem. Either way, no point in worrying about it. Come to think of it, Porsches sound like that too, although they're still not quite that sharp a sound, more "clickity-clickity-click" rather than "CRACK... CRACK"

yah... I agreee ... it is quite a sharp crack.. isn't it?

yep yep... I like it actually.

later G bros

 

It's ok bro. Even if you don't drive it hard it'll click as it cools down. Normal shrinkage of the metal as it cools.

Yeah my buddy's Boxter was REALLY noticeable, and he's only had it a month or so. After hearing his car the G's clicking didn't sound so bad.

 

Could be your resonator or a bad catyilac converter.

 

cool cool. Thanks guys.
