well - about 14000 miles on the new transmission and nismo clutch. Tires bald, lol, but otherwise she's still truckin.

There is, however, still a problem with a shudder when the car is at idle. I have put about 20k and it has always been there. It feels like a miss but throws no codes accdg. to dealer, but It is very noticeable. The dealer blames gear lashing occasionally and says that on this car the tranny is constantly spinning even at idle and this happens, but I haven't felt it in other z's. they have replaced the master cylinder, the clutch(nismo) and the transmission with new units.

any idea on that shudder? - kind of intermittent and happens aproximately at 15second intervals - sometimes more when it is "acting up"

check the rubber hose between your maf sensor and your tb for leaks, my gf's old z did the same thing and it had a small rip in the hose

and the clicking is normal, u need to have your rear axles pulled and lubed where they go into the diff, the noise WILL NOT cause any problem, just an annoyance
