Hi Guys,
This is my first post and I need a bit of your expert advices.
I have a 2006 350z Japan import.
I am on a weekend trip and started to have a few problems with the car.
First of all, in the middle of my trip, the car started to make the noise of a crazy Ferrari and not surprisingly I realised that my exhaust was blowing. A joint on the exhaust pipes was totally worn out and the pipes were not connected anymore... I had a local garage weld my pipes together for a quick fix before fixing it properly when I get home. Noise is now back almost to normal. This was yesterday.
However today, when climbing a mountain, the engine warning light came up and I noticed a tac tac tac noise from the front of the car. Obviously I tried not to push the car afterwards, but as far as I can tell, the engine seems to still rev smoothly and I cannot perceive any performance degradation. I can t hear this tac tac tac when running the car...
Oddly, when I am at a stop and in neutral I can hear the tac tac tac noise, but when i press the clutch, the tac tac tac noise goes away. Any idea what this might be? I am going to bring the car to the garage when I come back but just wanted to hear some of your insights.
Not really sure, but it seems to me that the temperature gauge is a bit higher than usual as well.. Nothing dramatic there though.
For info, even though i am not sure this is relevant, I had an Amuse style front bumper fitted recently and had the UpRev ecu reflash done last week. I was told to change my sparks plugs as well...
Thank you for your help,
Best
Tom
