Clicking sound only when getting on throttle, and off throttle.

[dogunbound]

I normally don't drive with my windows down, but decided to do that more often after going to my first HPDE event. I was driving through my workplace's garage and noticed a click sound when I get on the throttle, and a tad after I let off the throttle (The time delay is probably due to the rev hang). It's more apparent when I get on the throttle harder, and off the throttle harder.

Any idea what this sound is? Is it normal?

(1yr old with 7.5K miles).

I tried recording the sound, but the audio was so bad it didn't matter.

Only happens when I'm in gear. I tried doing it in neutral, no click. So it's not the engine, or transmission. Maybe the UJoint on the driveshaft? Or Something around the wheel?

Got a good sample as to what it sounds like:

Not sure if you are referring to the same noise but axle clicking was a very common issue on the 350/370Z and will probably also be on the new Z as they get older.

"As they get older". Mine is only a year old

I don't think that's it. You'll here the axle click at slow speed, regardless of throttle, while turning.
And it'll be a regular click, click, click as the wheels turn

I case anyone is wondering. I took it to a dealership since it's still under warranty. The issue is exactly as D2M said.

Seems like an easy fix. Hopefully it stays fine for a long while... I don't know how good of a fix just throwing lube into the splines is.

Wow I'm really amazed that a click sound that as you said comes on with throttle application and doesn't occur in neutral is the axle nuts.
