Valve Ticking noises on 09 370z

Hey red- its noticable from both sides but more from the drivers side. just like you said, when i pull up next to another car or a building, the ticking sound is definitely more noticeable. - power wise the car seems fine, but its a little embarressing driving around like that. I forgot to add that i did contact nissan consumers affairs since the dealership is giving me the run around - i have yet to hear from nissan.

Well keep us posted. Maybe it would be a good idea to bring mine in to let them look at it.

One more question. Do you have to sound the second you start the car or does it have to warm up?

Yes- the sound is there when i start the car.. the weird thing to me was when i floored it a couple of days ago n it went away, then did the same thing n it returned.
