Why does my 350Z make a knocking noise?
Revving the car, the knocking raises with the revs…but only to about 2.5krpm where it becomes quite unnoticeable. Also, while idle the exhaust occasionaly make small pops and splutters although nothing dramatic. So the noise only occurs when the engine is nice and warm, and when at idle or very low revs.

Start engine up cold, no tapping at all…revving at idle sounds smooth and releasing the clutch just gives the usual thrust bearing grumble which we all have!
