Ok, so this car is amazing, its an '04 conv. Z, silver with a black top, beautiful, anyway so now with my question, has anyone ever heard almost like a slight ringing noise while shifting? I can't tell what it is and if someone has noticed this with theirs and had it fixed, to point me in the right direction of what it was, and how much it costs to fix, would be much appreciated.. thank you

Alright where are you guys getting the idea that the original poster cared about what you think of the different bodystyles of the Z33? How about we move on now guys and get back to the subject at hand. (Which by the way, for the idiots, is a ringing noise obviously from the drivetrain)
it doesnt have to be the drivetrain, slight ringing could come from anything metallic even a strut bar that is not completely tightened. the shifting could just be exaserbating the part as it puts more strain on the car. i even read a thread where an 04 maxima heard rattling during shifts and it ended up being the suspension.
your car should still be covered under warranty as it is only an 04, so instead of posting, take it to the dealer.

He probably doesn't walk into the dealership empty handed. A little knowledge goes a long way.

Might be a change in noise pitch due to the clutch being pushed in. You could be hearing the bushings on the pedal arm under the dash board rotating, for instance. I heard something similar on my old 323 back in '92. Drove me batty till I figured out what it was, then threw a little WD40 on it. Poof, no more noise.

also, the sound could be your shifter itself, sometimes something comes loose it can cause a sound you describe.
Could also be hearing the slight whine from the syncros as he pushes the stick into each gear. For example, a T56 is really loud like that, especially going into 2nd gear.
