I run obo 2 myself, they said they do a more "thorough inspection" they are full of shit, and i've already reported them to BBB, about me already knowing what they told me. there's no obo 2 codes and the car inspection is fine.

Someone suggested fuel dampers i'll check that when i get a stethoscope, like i said on the other post i hear it louder from underneath the car, near flex pipe / oil pan, the exhaust is a bit rusty, but it doesn't sound like an exhaust rattle, yes i know the difference, worked with cars allot.

visual inspect from infront, both side, underneeth, tail pipe. removing shrouds, and tires so you can get in there better.

best i got. if you dont want to spend the $300 at nissan and just drive it till something finally goes & like said in above posts, if its a bearing and you let it go till it snaps & causes more dmg than your out a car...



not always, could at higher RPM align itself properly and not chatter


/ you did try this right? i see a few videos and a shitload of threads right off the bat with these cars.

Might have to rip apart the engine and look at clearances, i'll also check with the stethoscope and see if i hear it coming from the engine.

Got that video yet?

oooh that sounds nasty



you cant twist the throttle under the hood?

only problem is it goes away when i stop putting pressure into car, so i can't get a vid near engine, without the fiance or a friend. and then it goes away at higher revs, also when driving :\

so it didn't make the noise when it was in Drive....but came back on when you were in Park....were the brakes applied while in Park?
if not maybe it's a loose caliper?....

ahh thats silly..hmm....
