Whats up guys - as some of you new - I'm a new Nismo owner. I've had the car now a few days and I have a few questions about some noises I'm hearing. Sorry if these are really stupid questions... I just have BAD OCD, and want to make sure everything is okay. So thanks for all the help in advanced!

Here is the low down:

1) Parked, in Neutral (car running), with the Clutch NOT Depressed (my foot off of it) = It sounds like something is "spinning", maybe even a lit "rattle"? Is this just the clutch?

2) When changing gears from first to second, or downshifting from third to second - there is something like a light "clanking" noise - I'm guessing the clutch or gearing. Is this normal?

Thanks again guys!
