Here is a video that captures the sound. Anyone else ever had/heard this sound/problem????

Damn if I can figure out what/where it is coming from. Getting it checked out tomorrow but thought I would ask.

That's a rod my friend . I just built my Saleen mustang fully forged and that's what it sound like before I built a new stroked block.

Dude, sorry to burst your bubble but it is not a rod. Since I had the cat replaced, I have run 2 HPD events (just got back from Texas World Speedway tonight after a wonderful weekend) that entails x16 - 25 minutes sessions on track and driven the car to and from both events (roughly 500 miles on the highway) and I have had not problems - or any more noise like a marble rolling around in a washing machine.

Sorry you had rod issues.

BTW - here is just a few laps of one session last weekend with the Nismo. Like I said earlier, I have had 2 weekends of full track time (16 full 25 minutes sessions) and travel time with no issues. I really find it hard to believe you are trying to convince me (because you think something sounds like what you have had in the past) I have a rod issue since I fixed the problem already - a bad cat. Remember not all sounds mean the same thing.

Watch the video - do you really think a bad rod could stand this pressure,

Cheers.
