i too am hearing a clicking sound but it sounds like its from all four wheels. i was changing the tranny fluid the other day and noticed when i move the H&R spacers back and forth while the wheel is off its EXACTLY the same ticking/clicking noise i hear when i take off or decelerate. i would drive around with out them to see if thats it but i have extended studs on and im afraid the lug nuts wont seat all the way on.

The noise I STILL here is a "plink" sound. Like a metallic higher pitch clink.

What sort of axles are those? It may be worth swapping out to get rid of this noise as Nissan is doing nothing to help.

Guys one thing to consider is the wheel bearing. An outside bearing is spinning faster when turning the opposite way which may increase the clicking sound. They don't typically wear this fast but it might be worth it to check out.

Good point. I only hear the clink sound when I first take off from a stop though. Nissan had it for 7 days and couldn't figure it out.

No, they will not fit, the 370Z axles are different length compared to a 350Z.

Yes you are missing something.
They just haven't updated their website yet.

Depends on the model.
Models with the adjusting cap (large beer cap looking thing over the axle nut) only requires 100Nm/77ft lb max.

Based on the FSM, only the 2009 and some 2010 models do NOT have the adjusting cap. In those models, torque it up to 133-136 ft lb.
