Again, the engine is quieter and smoother than my newer/lower mileage Z. And the exhaust also sounds much better, but that's a different discussion

Our main concern is the long term effect of this issue. The ping normally last just 1 to 2 seconds at 1500 rpm or less.
Also may want to go to dealer and see if you pcm has the latest flash. It's not super common for the Japanese lines I have worked on to do a lot of re flashing like the German and GM to fix issues but there have been some and it doesn't hurt to ensure your running latest software.
