been researching solutions to this irritating problem, short of doing up the nut waaaaay past the torque spec.

will report back in a few more 1000km as it's too early to celebrate with my current idea.

just had a new "Drive Shaft (carbon composite)" ordered before my 60k warranty is up. I took in today 57k miles to my Nissan tech and he found the clicking noise at low speeds and when shifting into park, drive and reverse. Told me he's ordered the Drive Shaft ($800+) free of charge no questions asked. :-) Guess im glad to have had a great relationship with not only my tech, but my service writer too! I always leave a $20 spot for them both to get lunch anytime I'm in the service bay.. anyhow Soon as its complete i'll update to confirm if it solves the clicking/clunking noise in the rear.

I put last weekend some grease as suggested from the 350z owners but it did not do the trick. Do you guys have any other ideas?

did you use the correct type and amount?

i got rid of my annoying clicking with a Kawasaki axle nut. search for it on here ;) all the details are there

I used this one

1 Tube original Schmierfett Molybdänfett für Gleichlaufgenke Antriebswellen 90ml | eBay

but i said the problem is there when i brake in very low speed and not when i change direction forward or backword.

do you also get a loud metallic click/clunk when you go over a sharp bump? sounds more like loose brake pads to me. i am using Remsa pads and they seem loose inside the caliper, therefore causing a clunk when i hit a sharp bump in the road. i get the same noise when changing directions.

have you changed the brake pads before?

Nope only when i brake, but please check the two videos it has something to do with the handbrake.I changed the original akenobos with ebc red stuff but still the same issue as before.

how did you replace the pads? push the pins out and swap pads or did you remove the 2 big bolts and remove the caliper?

I pushed the pins out and swap the pads

Just went to the dealership here in Charlotte. Told them the car was clicking from both axles. The service manager told me he'd have the techs take a look and that generally a going-over was $99. He had me wait in the waiting room. About an hour later, he found me, said they had fixed the problem by greasing both axles and found TSB NTB12-055d for the problem. No charge (including the $99 I was originally quoted). Walked out with no money spent and a click-less car. Attached is a picture of the invoice. The manager said this should be covered under the 6-year 60,000-mi warranty which as of today's date covers all 370Z's. This should be a free fix if you are reading this.

This noise/problem is annoying and I didn't expect it in a 'modern' sports car. That being said, I own a 1960 sports car and have about 15 things I have to grease every 3-5,000 miles per the owners manual.

Well I filed a complaint with nissan North America. The responded within 24 hours surprisingly. May call them if I feel it's worth the time. Y'all think it is? They gave me a case number and a list if what they wanted from me.

Let us know how it goes. I filed a complaint with them for my clutch pedal breaking off and they wouldn't do anything about it. My dealer did just repack my axles for free though.

Ill try to get to it Monday. Halloween and Formula 1 this weekend and I'm done with class woot :happydance:

Lame. We all know it's just going to be the same old Mercedes Petronas 1 - 2
