finally fixed the rattle
OP - Is/was the rear noise a rattle or a creeking/sqeaking sound. I've got one that happens mostly when the G is put into a situatio where the chassis is being twisted (like turning onto a driveway where one front tire is raised and the others are on the street). It's from the rear, but I can't find it and it is absolutely driving me insane!

Thanks Psedog!
And thanks Jimmy!
I will have to check later this week. I do hope that is where the creaking sound is coming from. It's really bugging me to death.

psedog - he has the premium package, so those steps are not all that is involved. He'll have to unbolt each of the rear seats also.
Eric300zx - you'll have to search for the DIY or thread on how to remove the rear seat for the premium package......it's kind of a PITA, but at least you're exorcism of the rattles should be successful
I just tried to find it but had no luck...sorry.

v1/v1se is like normal dynamat. v3 is a liquid version. v4 is designed to take care of the higher frequencies that v1se doesn't catch.
Thats it! I'll tear her apart soon. Thanks!

The creak is gone!
THANKS OP. I removed the seats and tightened the 8 bolts (4/side). I took a test drive prior to putting the seats back in and the noise/creaking is gone.

Fixed!
Many thanks to the posters for pointing to the offending bolts, I've been chasing this creak for about a year. Tightening these cross members also stiffened the chassis and helped cornering! (OK, I made this last part up ... but it DID get rid of the damned noise).
This forum absolutely ROCKS!

I have all my seats out and was about the say my prayers and put them back in, but now I will try to take the "carpet like" stuff out and see what's behind there. I stopped at that point when i broke one of the little button holders. I can't wait to get home and try it. I was so friggin depressed about the sound that I've been driving my 200K maxima almost exclusively.

Guys - Per thread #19, I had this same issue. Isn't it really upsetting though, knowing you're buying a luxury imported auto & finding out about an issue like this? I was super pissed off to find out the bolts were loose...I mean come on, how hard is it to engineer & quality control something like this so it doesn't loosen?

I have the same freaking problem you guys are talking about. Before I remove the rear seat, I will take my 2004 G35x to the dealership (still under the bumper to bumper warranty) and have those punks fix it. I hope they will! I'm pretty sure that is the problem, because when I have people sitting in the back seat, the creaking/rattling noise does not occur.
